To ensure that classes flow smoothly and our facility is kept clean and safe, we ask the following of all of our students and customers:
♦️ No Food or Drinks (other than water) are allowed anywhere in our facility. NO GUM in the classroom.
♦️ The lobby will be a QUIET place for children to wait for class and for parents to view their child’s progress. No running, jumping, or standing on chairs will be tolerated.
♦️ Students may not be dropped off at the studio more than 10 minutes before their scheduled class and should be picked up immediately after class unless prior approval is obtained by the studio office.
♦️ Please do not open studio doors while classes are in session and please do not wave at children through the viewing window. This distracts students from learning and progressing appropriately in class.
♦️ All children not attending a class must be fully supervised by an adult at all times.
♦️ Children will not be allowed to wait outside the building for their ride. Parents must come inside to pick up their child.
♦️ Parents and guests may always watch class through our viewing windows. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s development in class please feel free to call and speak to your child’s instructor. All calls requesting to speak with a member of our teaching staff will be returned before or after the scheduled teaching day
We hope you enjoy your dance experience with us!
