STUDENT CONDUCT

Students are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner which reflects positive behavior that is superior at all times. To ensure the safety of each student we ask that there be no gum or candy during class time. In an effort to keep our studio clean and sanitary we ask that students do not touch the mirrors or eat inside the studio. To help maintain a clean dance environment, all students must help keep dance equipment clean and are to re-frame from damaging any property. Students are to be punctual and attend classes regularly. During class time students are expected to pay close attention to their instructor and keep talking to a minimum while instruction is given. To prevent injury we ask that students do not engage in running, playing, or forms of mischief unless instructed to do so, as we still aim to have a fun environment for our students. Safety is of the most importance and we ask that students do not wonder to any other part of the building without parental/staff supervision. 

 

ATTENDANCE

As in any area of study, attendance is important. Students are expected to attend class regularly. Please contact the dance director or teacher and plan to make-up missed classes. We want our dancers to have every opportunity to “shine” at performances, recital or competition, so please be aware students missing too many classes may not perform at their best during the show. Please contact us if you are going to be tardy or absent from class. Students will be asked to observe class and take notes if they are more than 15 mins late.
