Studio Policies

  • Missed classes will not be refunded. dancers can take a makeup class within a 30 day period to make up for paid tuition.

    Make-up class options are listed below for easy reference: Ballet → Ballet; Jazz → Ballet, Jazz, Tricks & Turns, or Flexibility & Conditioning; Contemporary/Lyrical → Contemporary/Lyrical or Ballet; Tricks & Turns → Tricks & Turns, Jazz Technique, Flexibility & Conditioning, Pom, or Ballet; Flexibility & Conditioning → Flexibility & Conditioning, Jazz Technique, or Ballet; Tap → Tap; Hip Hop → Hip Hop.

    We encourage dancers to take a lower-level class for make-ups, as it’s a great way to reinforce fundamentals and be a positive role model for younger dancers.

  • Dancers are expected to come dressed for success. Proper attire ensures optimal training and allows instructors to give corrections effectively.

    Leggings, jazz pants, or booty shorts with a fitted dance top or crop top; jazz shoes only (no socks or turners); no baggy clothing or outerwear.

    FOOD ALLERGIES

    Nut-Free! Please do not send your dancers with food that contain nuts. We have highly allergic students.

  • We love when dancers come into the studio excited and eager to learn. However, that energy must be channeled with focus and respect for your teachers and peers. All faculty will review their individual class expectations, but these universal etiquette rules apply to every class:

    • Raise your hand if you have a question. Do not interrupt, as your teacher may already be addressing your concern.

    • Use the restroom before or in-between classes.

    • Arrive on time. Dancers arriving more than 15 minutes late may not participate and will need to observe and take notes.

    • Only water is permitted in class.

    • No talking while the teacher is speaking.

    • Hair must be secured out of the face. It should not need adjusting during class.

    • If you arrive late, ask the instructor for permission to join class. If granted, warm up fully before participating. If not, observe and make up the class later if it’s a requirement.

    • Bring a positive attitude and open mindset.
