A proper dance floor is essential for injury prevention. Linoleum, tile or concrete are extremely hard surfaces for
dance. Our studio has a specially sprung dance floor and is used for all dance classes.
MAILBOXES:
To ensure ALL students receive ALL newsletters, we have adopted a new mailbox system for proper communication. Each student will receive all newsletters, statements, and messages through this system. While students can obtain mail from their box, we ask parents to be ultimately responsible for this communication. Siblings will share a box.
PARENTS IN THE CLASSROOM:
We encourage the opportunity for parents to observe their children in the studio while class is taking place. Parents can then share the dance experience, assist with dance retention at home and can monitor their child's progress. Parents are asked to refrain from talking during class, so that the instructor may direct all attention to the students. Please do not allow any siblings on the dance floor AT ANY TIME during class.
ATTENDANCE:
PLEASE CALL AND TELL US IF YOU WILL BE MISSING FROM CLASS. We really count on you being there each week. If you feel you can not make a big commitment to class, please consider the technique only classes. You will still get the joy of dance but you will not have to worry about the performance commitment.NO STUDENT WILL BE EXCUSED FROM DRESS REHEARSAL OR RECITAL WITHOUT PROVIDING SIX WEEKS PRIOR NOTIFICATION.
VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY:
In Class: We welcome videotaping on a limited basis to aid in the retention of choreography. Please have instuctor's approval PRIOR to videotaping and/or photographing class.At Outreach Performances: Depending on our location, we may be asked that no cameras or video equipment be used in order to respect patients, residents and/or performers. We will deal with this issue on an individual basis. NEW: Our staff will notify performers and parents when cameras and video equipment are NOT allowed.
At Winterfest and Dress Rehearsal: For dancer's safety, please do not take flash pictures while students are performing. The best time for pictures is before or after the performances. We permit personal videotaping during these shows; however, those who wish to videotape will need to register prior to the event with our office. We will ask each videographer to wear identification, verifying they are authorized. We will question those who are taping without identification.
