If issues concern other parents or children, please do not address this issue at the studio. Please resolve the issue independently or make an appointment with the director to resolve the situation.
Studio Rules for Dancers:
Promptness:
• Promptness is very important!
• Dancers need adequate time in order to be physically and mentally prepared for the demands of the dance class.
• Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late may be asked to observe class.
Lost and Found
TDC is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Dancers should take their personal items into the dance studio with them and place them in cubbies. Any belongings left in the dancer's lounge will not be supervised.
IMPORTANT Dance Etiquette: At our studio, our primary goal is for your children to have fun while learning dance technique and a strong work ethic. We expect all dancers to show respect to themselves, each other, and all instructors. You will see our instructors enforcing the following rules:
• Be prepared for class. Proper dress code is required for all dance classes.
• Hair must be pulled up and secured back. Ballet students must wear hair in a bun.
• Use the restroom prior to class.
• Do not have frequent class absences.
• No cell phones in the dance studio. (Please keep all personal items in your dance bag.)
• No gum is allowed in class.
• Be respectful and kind to instructors, peers, and all TDC staff.
• Do not talk during class unless you are asking a question.
• No leaning, lounging or hanging on the ballet barres.
• Clap at the end of class to show respect for yourself, your fellow dancers, and the instructor.
• If injured, tell instructor prior to class…work slowly and carefully or sit down and observe.
• If ill, do not come to class.
We believe good dance etiquette is of equal importance to good dance technique.
