2023-2024 Studio Policies
Studio Etiquette
Be kind. Dancers, as well as their parents/guardians, are expected to respect all dancers, teachers, and staff.
Dancers should be dressed for each class in accordance with the dress code.
Hair should always be in a ponytail or bun (required for ballet). The studio will have extra hair ties in the event a dancer does not have one.
Dancers should refrain from excessive talking in class. This can be disruptive to other dancers.
No running, yelling, etc. in class.
Water bottles must remain in the lobby at all times and are not permitted in class.
Dance shoes should be worn inside only. Failure to do so can result in damage to the shoes and our dance floors by tracking in dirt and making our floors hazardous to other dancers.
Please be on time to class. Late arrival is not only disruptive to the class but can result in a dancer missing out on important parts of class. Arrivals over 15 minutes late will not be permitted to enter class.
Lobby Rules
Please leave chairs in the same spot they were found.
Please throw away all garbage.
No food is permitted in the lobby. Water only. The only exception is for dancer’s staying for multiple classes. They may bring a light snack.
Dancers are asked to not arrive more than 5 minutes early, and must be picked up within 5 minutes of class ending.
Parents staying in the lobby during class are asked to follow the same time rules – please do not enter the lobby 5 minutes before class begins and please leave as soon as your dancer’s class has finished.
Please be respectful of classes in session. All children not attending class (siblings, etc.) must be supervised at all time. No standing on chairs, running around, yelling, etc., as it can be distracting to classes in session.
Mask
Masks are optional for all students and staff. However, the studio reserves the right to change its policy and require masks at any time.
Cleaning Protocol
Ballet barres will be disinfected at the end of each night.
Air purifiers with HEPA filters are running in each studio as well as the lobby.
The entire studio will be cleaned weekly.
Illness Protocol
Dancers exhibiting any illness should stay home until illness free for at least 24 hours (no fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.).
If your dancer, or anyone in their household, has been exposed, becomes ill, or is exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, your dancer should not enter the studio.
All teachers will be following the same protocol as dancers.
