Dance studio rules are for the benefit of all students.
We emphasize the consistent practice of dance class, performance etiquette and dress code.
ATTENDANCE:
Students should arrive 5-10 minutes before class to allow time to use the bathroom, dress, remove jewelry, and neatly put hair back.
All students must be READY TO DANCE at the start of each class. Late students may only enter with permission from the director/teacher and may be asked to sit and observe class.
Multiple absences could result in dancer being removed from dances/parts of dances.
Dancers should NOT miss any classes the 2 weeks prior to performances/shows, events, and/or Recital/Christmas Show. Teachers are not be required to adjust the routine for students that have not been present to practice/learn the dance/dances for any performances. Makeups for missed classes are offered when possible and handled on an individual basis.
