Arrival Procedures
Please arrive on time! Punctuality is crucial in order to properly and safely run our dance classes and respect everyone’s time. Please try to arrive at least 5-10 mins prior to your class time.
For our younger students, parents may enter the studio during our beginning months to get students used to class, but are not required to. Otherwise, parents are not allowed to observe during class time unless asked by the instructor.
Class Procedures
Class size will be limited to 8-10 dancers. Water bottles and dance shoes/attire are the only personal items allowed in the classroom. Dance bags will be kept in a personal cubby. Please do not allow your child to bring toys from home unless it is a “stuffy” to watchClasses will be dismissed from the dance room at the designated end time of their class to safely line up for pick up.
Parents please DO NOT enter the studio to pick up your child! Students will exit the building and will be instructed to wait on the boardwalk until they see their parents in the parking lot. For Bitties and Primary, you may meet them outside the door at room 8.
We know this is different, but our class time is very precious and very meticulously scheduled to give each class their full amount of instruction time. In the current space we utilize, we do not have 4 walls. We have a curtain. So, when parents and siblings are in the building in between class times, it makes our class changes very loud, very slow, and very distracting for our students coming in.
Illness Procedures
If you have a cough, fever, or are sick please stay home. Even though we want you to attend every class, we don’t want you to attend sick. This puts your health and the health of others at risk around you. Please do not send your child to class if they are feeling unwell.
Attendance and Tardiness
Good attendance is imperative to the growth and success of your student. Please make every effort to attend every class. Missed classes may not be deducted from tuition payments.
