At The Purpose Company, we are more than a dance studio — we are a Christ-centered community committed to excellence, character, and worship through movement. This Code of Conduct helps us create a safe, respectful, and joyful space for every dancer and family. By joining our studio, you agree to uphold the following standards.
1. Respect & Character
We expect all dancers and families to:
Treat teachers, classmates, and staff with kindness and honor
Speak respectfully at all times — no teasing, gossip, or foul language
Respect the space God has blessed us with by picking up after yourself.
Obey class rules and follow instructions the first time
Avoid physical disruptions (pushing, roughhousing, or inappropriate contact)
Handle disagreements with humility and grace
2. Dress Code
While we encourage dancers to dress in a way that expresses themselves, we do require all dancers to adhere to the following guidelines:
Modest, well-fitting dancewear (no crop tops, low-cut or overly short attire)
Hair pulled back away completely (can be a safety hazard if not)
No large jewelry or accessories (can be safety hazard)
Proper footwear is required (turning shoes, ballet shoes, tap shoes, sneakers)
Students may be asked to sit out if not dressed according to policy.
3. Parent Partnership
Parents play a vital role in the culture of our studio. We ask parents to:
Communicate with staff in a respectful and constructive manner
Support your dancer with encouragement and grace
Avoid gossip or complaints in the lobby
Bring up concerns directly and privately with the director or instructor
Lead the way with love, honor, and respect.
4. Faith & Culture
Our studio atmosphere is rooted in Christian values:
We may open/close classes in prayer or share scripture-based encouragement
Worship-based music, themes, and choreography will be used
All students are welcome, regardless of background, and are expected to participate respectfully.
5. Behavior Violation & Consequence Policy
We believe discipline is most effective when it’s done with both love and clarity. When studio expectations are not followed, we will address behavior using the following steps:
1. Verbal Reminder – A gentle, private correction from the teacher.
2. Reflection Time – Student may briefly sit out; parents may be notified. If the child repeatedly chooses not to adhere to studio values, they may be asked to sit for the remainder of class (unless a change in behavior is made).
3. Parent Communication – A conversation with the studio director and family will be arranged.
4. Disciplinary Action – For repeated or serious issues (bullying, defiance, unsafe conduct):
Probation
Temporary suspension
Permanent dismissal without refund
We reserve the right to immediately remove any student or family from the studio if behavior compromises safety, studio values, or community well-being.
6. A Note on Restoration
While we hold firm standards, our heart is always toward restoration. We believe in second chances, humility, and growth. Our desire is to partner with families to nurture not just great dancers — but godly character.
Please note that we take the culture of The Purpose Company seriously. All teachers are committed to creating a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe environment for the parents and dancers.
