Studio Policies

1. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
No smoking is permitted in or around the building.
All students must wear cover-ups when entering and exiting the studio.
Please be prompt when picking up your dancer. Instruct your child to remain inside the building until picked up.
Once a child leaves the classroom or studio, we are no longer responsible for their supervision.
Parents are welcome to wait in the lobby area during class.
If you bring siblings to the studio, they must be supervised at all times to prevent interruptions.
Children should not run in or around the building, and those who are unusually loud will be asked to sit quietly.

2. COMMON COURTESY
Our staff takes great pride in maintaining a clean, welcoming studio—please help us keep it that way.
Only water is allowed in the lobby.
Please clean up after yourself and your child.
No eating, drinking, or chewing gum is permitted in any of the dance studios.

Do not interrupt instructors while class is in session.
If you have a concern, please email or call the studio director to set up a time to talk.

Student placement is at the discretion of the studio director, and all placement decisions are final.

No cell phone use in the lobby or office area.
All phone calls, video conferences, or video viewing must be taken outside the building to avoid disrupting others.

3. ATTENDANCE
Consistent attendance is essential for student progress.
If your child is too sick to participate, they should stay home and rest.
If injured, they are encouraged to attend class and observe, as this helps them stay informed and engaged in class material.

4. PROMPTNESS
Students should arrive 5–10 minutes before class begins to get ready and avoid disrupting the lesson.
Warm-up is critical for injury prevention, and late arrivals can be unsafe.
Students arriving more than 10 minutes late may be asked to sit and wait for the instructor’s signal to join the class.
If tardiness becomes a recurring issue, you will be contacted by the director to discuss a solution.
If your child knows they will be late, please have them inform their instructor in advance.

5. STUDIO BEHAVIOR
All students and parents are expected to conduct themselves with respect and professionalism at all times, including at events sponsored or attended by the studio.

Inappropriate or disrespectful behavior toward fellow students, parents, or instructors will not be tolerated.
We do not allow negative remarks, comparisons, or gossip about students, parents, or faculty.
A positive, supportive attitude helps foster growth and makes for a more productive environment for everyone.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and respectful community for all our dancers and families!
