Absences and Make-up Classes
We do not recommend missing class because the best way to develop a dancer is for him or her to be in the appropriate class each and every time, but we do understand things come up. Make up classes are available upon request, please make arrangements with the instructor. Make-ups are highly discouraged during the last few months before recital.

Drop-off and Pick-up
Parents are always welcome to stay in the lobby while your child is in class but if you cannot stay your student should be dropped off and picked up within 10 minutes of the selected dance classes. Please notify the office if you are going to be late, we are not staffed to supervise your children for an extended amount of time.

NOTE: Dancers need to remain in the lobby before and after class! There is no playing/running down the hall and in the back. The children can be injured and DX property damaged..

Dance Attire
Proper dance attire is important and will be enforced. It helps to show the basic features of the body and also shows correct placement that the teacher needs in order to make correction to the students. It also shows the correct discipline that is needed in each growing dancers.

Please instruct your child to wear form fitting clothes, NO JEANS OR JEAN SHORTS, and hair pulled back completely out of their face, if hair is too short to pull back please put half up or wear a headband. Cover ups should be worn whenever you are not in your appropriate class and outside from the car to the studio.
