POLICIES
Regular attendance will be monitored for every class. Consistently attending classes is vital for the success of each dancer as it fosters a strong work ethic and enhances their ability to master skills and develop solid technique.
Dancers who arrive 10 minutes late to a class may be denied entry, regardless of the reason. This policy not only minimizes disruption to other dancers but also ensures the safety of the latecomer by preventing them from missing a proper warm-up. Any dancer unable to attend a class due to tardiness is welcome to make up that specific class according to our make-up policy guidelines. Dancers who frequently arrive late may be asked to switch to a more convenient class time.
Dancers are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes before their class begins and to be picked up within 15 minutes after their final class ends. Any additional parking lot or permit regulations will be communicated to parents through posted notices and distribution.
● Missed classes with an excused absence due to various reasons can be made up within 30 days of the missed class.

We kindly request that students keep their phones turned off or on silent and stored away throughout the duration of the class until the teacher notifies the students to record at the end of class. Smartwatches are not to be used during class time.
Additionally, we understand the excitement of sharing your dance journey on social media. However, respecting the privacy and comfort of all students and faculty members is of utmost importance to us. Together, let's create a positive and supportive online presence while maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment within our dance community.
For the safety and cleanliness of our dance rooms, we kindly ask that no food be brought into the studio. Water bottles are permitted, and we encourage staying hydrated during classes. Let's work together to keep our dance spaces clean, pleasant, and free from any potential hazards. Thank you for your cooperation!
To maintain the integrity and safety of our studio environment, we kindly request that students refrain from touching any props, equipment, speakers, or other items that do not belong to them. Respecting the belongings of others ensures a positive and harmonious atmosphere for everyone. Let's appreciate and care for our shared resources. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
