I acknowledge the importance of both myself and my child(ren) following the guidance and rules set by NJADS Inc. As the legal parent or guardian, I release and hold harmless NJADS Inc., its owners, and staff from any liability, claims, or actions resulting from any injury, loss, or damage that may occur while participating in studio activities or being on studio premises.

If necessary, I authorize NJADS Inc. and its representatives to seek emergency medical care for my child, including transport to a local doctor or hospital, in the event I cannot be reached. I confirm that the participant is in good physical and mental health for participating in activities at our studio.

Students should not attend class if they have a fever, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, productive cough, severe nasal discharge, suspected communicable disease, lice, COVID-19 or any cold or flu-like symptoms not previously listed.

Please note - missed classes (i.e. illness, vacation or other) for the dance season, camps or workshops are non-refundable. If the studio cancels class due to an emergency i.e. inclement weather, power outage etc. classes are non-refundable, but may be re-scheduled through the office.

Please notify the studio if your child will not be attending class/camp by submitting an absence through the Parent Portal.

At Not Just Another Dance Studio we’re committed to providing a fun, safe, and welcoming environment where dancers feel at home and want to return year after year. To help us maintain this positive space, we’ve outlined our Code of Conduct below. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. We reserve the right to take action—including dismissal—if this Code is not followed by either students or their parents.

GENERAL CODE OF CONDUCT:
• Kindness & Respect We expect all students and parents to treat others with kindness, and to foster a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. We promote a growth mindset and a strong sense of teamwork and community within our studio. Respect also means taking pride in our shared space—please clean up after yourself and help keep the studio tidy for everyone.
• No Bullying: Bullying, gossip, or hurtful language will not be tolerated. Physical, mental, emotional or cyber bullying by parents, staff or students will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal from the studio. Any concerns should be brought to NJADS Management.
• Supervision: Parents are responsible for their child before and after their scheduled class(es), and to ensure their child is picked up on time at the end of class. We are not liable for students outside of scheduled class times. If delayed, please call us right away.
• Payments: Fees must be paid according to our Equal Payment Policy. Unpaid balances will lead to late fees, exclusion from performances, or collection charges. Costumes will only be given to students with up-to-date payments.
• Classroom Etiquette: To maintain a focused and respectful learning environment, parents should not interrupt classes. If you need to pass on a message, item or medication, please go through the Reception Desk. Instructors will invite students into the classroom when it’s time to begin, and will dismiss students to the lobby area once class ends, where parents can pick them up.
• Personal Belongings: Please avoid bringing valuables to the studio. NJADS is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
All studio-related concerns should go through Studio Management. Teachers may not be contacted directly about studio matters without Director approval. Meetings can be arranged through reception.

• Be Courteous: Respect others in our shared spaces.
• Keep It Quiet: Avoid shouting, running or roughhousing to maintain a calm atmosphere. If using a device, use headphones to avoid disturbing others and nearby businesses.
• No Dancing or Acro in Halls: Students are not permitted to perform acro tricks or dance in the waiting areas to avoid injury.
• Clear Hallways: Please avoid sitting or standing in doorways or walkways.
• Food & Drinks: Only water in closed bottles is allowed in studios. Please dispose of gum appropriately before entering class.

• Changeroom: Cubbies and benches are for dancers only. Parents and siblings should stay in the lobby or waiting area.
• Between Classes: Dancers under 9 should not be left alone. Those 9+ may stay if approved by parents, but they must follow the Code of Conduct.
• Leaving the Studio: Students must have permission to leave during breaks.
• Parking Lot: Students should not be unsupervised in the lot at any time.

Dress for Success at NJADS. We believe that wearing appropriate dancewear helps set students up for success. It promotes discipline, focus, and a sense of readiness for every class. While we don’t require a specific colour or style (with the exception of for our RAD Ballet Exam classes) we encourage students to express their personality and have fun choosing their outfits each week! Any style or brand of dance wear is welcome, refer to our dress code for more information.

Please note: Outdoor shoes are not allowed inside the studio to help us keep our floors safe and clean.
