To ensure the safety and well-being of all our students, instructors, and families, we kindly ask that everyone adhere to the following safety guidelines:
Personal Belongings and Dress Code
• No jewelry is permitted in class. This includes bracelets, necklaces, hoop or dangling earrings, rings, and any other accessories that may pose a risk of injury or distraction.
• Proper dance attire is required. Loose clothing, jeans, or inappropriate footwear are not allowed.
• Dance shoes are to be worn only inside the dance rooms. Please have your dancer arrive and leave the studio wearing street shoes and change into dance shoes once inside.
Food and Drink
• No food, gum, or drinks are allowed in the dance rooms at any time.
• Water bottles with secure lids are permitted and encouraged for hydration, but must be kept outside the dance floor area.
Student Supervision and Safety
• Parents of children under the age of five must come to the door of the dance room to pick up their child. Children will not be released without a parent or authorized guardian present.
• Students are not allowed in the dance room without an instructor present unless they have been granted special permission.
• Running is strictly prohibited inside the studio, including hallways and dance rooms, to prevent injury.
Community Events and Parades
• Parents/guardians are responsible for their children at all community events and parades. Instructors and staff are not responsible for student supervision outside of studio classes.
Additional Safety Measures
• All injuries, no matter how minor, must be reported to an instructor or staff member immediately.
• Emergency contact information must be up-to-date and on file with the studio.
• All students must follow instructor directions at all times for the safety of themselves and others.
• Respectful behavior is expected. Disruptive or unsafe conduct may result in removal from class or studio events.
By following these guidelines, we aim to create a positive, safe, and focused environment where all dancers can learn, grow, and thrive.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to safety.
