RULES & GUIDELINES

ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES

  • Students are to arrive on time for each class.
  • Make sure your student goes to the bathroom BEFORE class begins.
  • All absences must be excused in advance by a parent by calling the studio.
  • Calls from students will not be accepted.

(If a student is tardy or absent, a parent will be contacted to make sure the student is where they are supposed to be)

Please look ahead at calendars and schedules of other activities in which your student participates to reconcile potential conflicts before they occur. 

Many conflicts can be resolved if advance notice is given to everyone involved.
A valuable lesson of dance, especially for older students,
is learning to manage time and schedules.

Classes at our studio are a commitment!

– Consistent attendance is vital to the student’s safety and progress in each class –
