Each class and age has different requirements for dress. You can find your child’s class dress code on the Dress Code page.

Students are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes before their class begins.

Please park in the parking lot and walk your dancer to and from the studio. There is no parking in the fire lane in front of the studio.

Please pick up your dancer in a timely manner after their class has ended. Dancers are to wait inside the studio while waiting for their ride.

To assure proper placement in all classes, instructors track students' progress in their own syllabus card and use the first six weeks of class as a placement audition.

Parents are invited and encouraged to observe their child’s progress every month, October-January, during the scheduled Observation Weeks. This is a fun way for your child to show what they are learning in class and see what the classroom experience is like!

Two visitors per family may attend. Infants and children are not able to attend observation classes. Please refrain from interrupting the teacher and your child during these observation times.

• Parents should use their Parent Portal to report any absences and schedule their make-up class within one week of their missed class.

• If you need to miss class due to illness, ZOOM will be available for you. Make-up classes will also be offered for any classes missed.

If you’d like to rent a locker for the dance season, please check with the office for availability. Cubbies are for the convenience of ALL dancers to use daily while in class and are not for rent.

Please do not place shoes in the cubbies. Place them on the floor under the bench.

The lunchroom/student lounge area is for student use. Please pick up your trash before leaving the lunchroom area. No food or drink is permitted anywhere else in the studio.

We want to provide the best dance experience for our youngest dancers and parents in a safe, nurturing, lively environment. Right from the beginning, we focus on your child’s coordination, listening skills, musical awareness, and imagination through weekly repetition. Please know that we are here for any concerns or questions you may have!

We ask preschool parents to wait in our studio lobby if you feel that your child may need you during their class.

We ask our dancers have an understanding of balance, body center and ballet technique. The dancer will also be asked to provide a note from their physician determining sufficient ossification of joints of the foot has begun.
