Studio
Policies
CLASSES:
Instruction is given in Jazz/Tap, Ballet, Lyrical, Modern, Pointe, Acrobats, Hip Hop,
and Break dancing. Class placement is at the discretion of the studio director and
determined by the Student's abilities and not necessarily by age or experience.
Dance is a cumulative learning process and all children progress at different
rates.


IN AND OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Proper RESPECT for the studio director, staff, studio, curriculum, fellow students,
and facility is EXPECTED of all students, parents, and siblings, on or off-site.
When attending classes, participating in a studio event, performances,
out-of-town excursion, or when wearing the studio logo, general behavior is as
important as your ability to dance. Parents or students needing to speak with
Miss Erin or the staff should leave a message with the desk or call the studio
rather than hold instructors up between classes. Our time with ALL the students
is very important. Please DO NOT disturb classes, the students are trying to learn
and have fun!


INFORMATION:
Parents, please make it a point to come into the studio on a regular basis to
catch up on news and studio information. Information is updated regularly.
Posters are hung in plain site and information is always available at the desk.
Newsletters are sent out periodically. We cannot be held for missed information. It
is the sole responsibility of the parent for obtaining all studio information.

part of the student as well as the parent. If you are interested and able to fulfill all
the required obligations, both parent and student must arrange a meeting with
Miss Erin.
