You must be over 18 to register for an account.

Students are expected to arrive on time and be prepared for class in proper dance attire. Please refer to our Dress Code page for full details on appropriate classwear.

If a student is running late, we ask that you call the front desk as a courtesy to inform us of the situation.

Late Arrival & Warm-Up Safety
A proper warm-up is essential for injury prevention and class success. Students arriving more than 7 minutes late may be asked to sit out and observe for their own safety. They are encouraged to take notes and stay engaged during observation.

Attendance & Class Enrollment
If a class is at capacity and a student accumulates three (3) consecutive unexcused absences, they may be removed from the roster to allow a student from the waitlist to join. This policy is in place to ensure fairness and opportunity for all students.
Note: No refunds will be issued in these cases. Exceptions must be discussed with the studio owner in advance.

Leaving Class Early
If a student needs to leave class early, both the instructor and the front desk must be notified prior to the start of class.


Make-Up Classes
Make-up classes are not offered for missed classes due to illness, vacation, school functions, or other personal scheduling conflicts. This policy helps us maintain consistency and structure across all classes.
