Policy Overview
Arrival and Departure
We encourage students to arrive 5-10 minutes before class starts. Dancers who arrive late may be asked to observe class at the discretion of the instructor to prevent injury and class disruptions. Please do not drop off children 7 or younger without adult supervision. Stay with your child until she enters the classroom, and pick her up promptly at the end of class.
Attendance
Attendance is vital to the growth and development of a dancer’s training. All dancers are expected to attend class on a regular basis. Excessive absences may result in suspension from studio performances.
Cell Phone Policy
No cell phones or computers may be used during class time or brought into the studios.
Class Observation
We will have two class observation dates this year for friends and families to attend. Dates to be decided. Otherwise, classes are closed to friends or family members.
Food Policy
No food, drink, or gum in the studio. All food consumed outside of the studio must be cleaned up and thrown in the trash. Water in a closed container is allowed in the studio.
Illness
If a dancer is ill, please stay home until they are well enough to fully participate in class and non-contagious. Please email or call Sydnee if you plan to keep your child home.
Tuition is not reduced due to illness, injury, absenteeism, or inclement weather.
Makeup Classes
Students who miss a class will have the opportunity to make up that class with a similar class within 4 weeks of their absence. Please ask Sydnee which class would be the best option for your dancer to make up.
Medical Information
Please notify Sydnee of any medical conditions or special needs your child may have. All medical information is kept confidential.
