Parent & Student Conduct

  • We encourage a positive atmosphere and do not condone any negativity towards the faculty, parents, and/or other students.

  • Dancers and parents are responsible for any information given out at classes and/or emails. 

  • To preserve the quality of instruction and minimize interruptions for our students, parents/siblings/observers are not allowed to enter the studios during class time, unless invited in by the instructor.

  • The teacher reserves the right to dismiss a student from the class/routine if he/she feels the student is not prepared, has missed too many rehearsals, or displays a bad attitude and disrupts the class. 

  • Registration is on a first come, first served basis. 

  • Registration confirmations will be sent after your registration has been processed.
