Safety
Young dancers should always be walked into the building. Even though there is a receptionist, do not leave young children unattended prior to class time. Please pick up student promptly after class.
Student / Parent Responsibilities
Always be respectful and kind to teachers and other students. Students must not run around waiting area or studio – this is for everyone’s safety. Young students must not leave the studio waiting area until picked up by parent. Please do not send food, soft drinks, or energy drinks into the studio. Water is the only beverage allowed in the studio. Most importantly have fun, learn to love dance and keep smiling – Everyone dances better with a smile on their face.
