Class Policies

Attendance
Students are expected to arrive on time and be properly dressed for class. A dancer who is tardy will miss important opening instructions and a proper warm up. Attendance is extremely important; when a dancer's absences begin to affect the group as a whole, the dancer may be dropped from that part of the routine. If your child is going to be absent, please notify the studio prior to your child's scheduled class time.

Admission to Class
Please note that students will not be allowed to attend class unless they are properly registered, their accounts are current and they are dressed appropriately. All classes must have a minimum of five (5) students in order to stay open. A maximum of twelve (12) students is placed on most classes. PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN CLASSES.

Make-up Classes
All make-up classes must be pre-arranged. Your child's instructor or the front desk staff will advise you of the days and times of make-up classes. Make-up classes must be taken within one month of the absence. A student's regular class time cannot be used as a make-up class. The student must be actively enrolled in order to make-up missed classes. Make-up classes are allowed for reasons of illness or studio closures with the exception of any studio observed holidays.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
If you would like to meet with your child's instructor or the studio director, please call the studio to schedule an appointment. Please avoid detaining the instructor(s) by questioning them before or after class time.

Dropping a Class
We will gladly discontinue monthly tuition charges with at least one month's written notice of your child's withdrawal from class enrollment. No refunds will be given.

First Class Free
Pertains to regular classes only, not summer or special sessions.

Class cancellation
Our calendar is based on the Anne Arundel County Public Schools calendar and we base our closings accordingly. In the event of inclement weather or another unplanned emergency, we will try our best to notify parents of closings as far ahead of the students' scheduled class time as possible.

Dress Code
Please see the listing of the class attire for each class. Street clothes should be worn over leotards and tights when arriving for class and when leaving the studio. Street clothes are not to be worn while dancing - no sweats!! Restroom facilities are limited; please come dressed for class under appropriate street clothes. No street shoes are allowed on the dance floors. We are not responsible for lost or missing articles - do not bring valuables. Please check with the front desk for the correct dress code should you have any questions.
