Classroom Policies
At our studio, we are committed to providing a positive, fun, and high-quality dance education for every student. To help create the best learning environment for everyone, we ask that all dancers and families follow these classroom policies:
- Parents & Visitors: To help dancers stay focused and independent, parents are not permitted inside the classroom during class. Parents are welcome to wait quietly in the hallway and are responsible for supervising any children who are waiting with them.
- Restroom Breaks: Please have your dancer use the restroom before arriving to class whenever possible. Studio restrooms are also available before class begins.
- Come Prepared: Dancers should arrive on time, dressed for class, with the appropriate dance shoes and any required attire. Please wear street shoes to and from the studio and change into dance shoes upon arrival to help keep them clean and in good condition.
- Food & Drinks: Water bottles are welcome in the classroom. No food, gum, or other beverages are permitted.
- Electronics & Toys: Cell phones, smart devices, and toys should remain put away during class so dancers can stay focused and engaged.
- Attendance Matters: Regular attendance is essential for building skills, confidence, and teamwork. We encourage dancers to attend class consistently whenever possible.
- Be On Time: Arriving on time allows every dancer to participate in warm-ups and helps minimize disruptions to the class.
- Respect the Classroom: Our dance studio is a classroom where students learn, grow, and support one another. We expect all dancers to demonstrate kindness, respect, and good sportsmanship toward their instructors and fellow classmates at all times.
- Preparedness Expectations: Dancers who arrive unprepared (missing required attire, shoes, etc.) will receive a reminder and parents will be notified.
