Dancers will enter the studio at their scheduled dance time. Please be prompt when

dropping off and picking up students. We do not have a lot of excess room in our waiting

areas. 5 minutes prior to class is ample time. CLASSES ARE CLOSED TO ANYONE

There will be newsletters and reminders emailed monthly. A copy of all information is

available on our website or on the bulletin board at the studio. If you are not receiving

your emails, please let your teacher know.

There will be no food, drinks or chewing gum allowed inside the dance studio rooms.

Vending machine drinks must remain in the lobby or outside.

Upon withdrawing from classes, please notify the studio office by email at least 2 weeks

before the last class you will be attending or you will be billed tuition for the following month.

Children will need to wear dance attire of their choice, and have their hair out of their

face. Tights are nice, but not mandatory. However, tights or socks will keep dancers from

getting blisters from dance shoes. ALL SHOES SHOULD BE LABELED WITH

STUDENTS NAME AND BROUGHT TO DANCE IN A DANCE BAG. Please send

your student to class with street shoes that are easy to get on. This will help to keep your

dance shoes in good condition. Children will need pink leather ballet shoes and black tap

shoes. Students taking jazz will need black jazz shoes and students taking hip-hop will

need black dance sneakers or jazz shoes. Dancers are required to have proper dance shoes

by 3 weeks after they are enrolled.

We will be participating in the Advance Holiday Parade. Parade wear is available for

purchase and the parade date will be posted closer to the event. You are encouraged to

participate, but it is not required. There will also be other items and services offered

throughout the year that are TOTALLY OPTIONAL! T-shirts, Recital videos, Class and

Individual photos, Recital program books, Program book ads/Good Luck wishes just to

name a few. These are things we do as a service and for the fun of it! You are in no way

obligated to purchase any of these extras.
