1. No street shoes on the dance floor.

2. No chewing gum, food, or drinks on the studio floor.

3. Please turn off cell phones in the studio.  This is for both students and parents. Any noise in the waiting area will be distracting for dancers.

4. Please help us keep noise to a minimum.  If our waiting area becomes noisy we will ask observers to leave.  Please think of our waiting area as a library; good for reading, not for talking.  Thank you for understanding our space limitations.

5. Be on time!  If you happen to come late you must ask permission from the teacher to be admitted to class.  If you have missed warm-ups you may be required to sit and observe.  This is an important issue which takes into consideration both your health and safety and courtesy to your teachers and classmates.

6. Show respect for your teachers, peers, and other dance studio patrons.  Please let the teacher teach and do not question staff members on their craft.  Technique, choreography, and music choices are up to the discretion of the instructor.

7. Ask to be excused if you must leave the dance class.  Only leave the class if given permission from the teacher.  Bathroom breaks are to be taken before and after class.  Parents of young dancers please insist that they use the bathroom right before class if possible.

8. Dress Code and hair requirements are to be strictly observed.

9. If etiquette issues or negative attitudes become a problem, the student may be asked to sit out of class.  Serious infractions may result in dismissal.

Can parents stay and watch dance class?

Parents are not allowed in the dance studio, but can observe class from the lobby through the windows. Please refrain from waving at or otherwise distracting your student while they are in class. If your student seems too distracted by your presence, we may ask that you drop them off and pick them up when class is over.
