v      Please leave jewelry (including watches) at home.  Only small earrings may be worn in class.  The studio will not be responsible for any lost items.

ATTENDANCE

v      Intermediate and Advanced students are expected to attend all of their scheduled classes.  In the event that a student is unable to attend class he/she is to call the studio and inform the teacher of his/her absence.  Please understand that work at the Intermediate and Advanced levels requires students to be very conscientious about regular class attendance.  Excessive absences are unacceptable.  In the case of illness or injury, we ask that a parent discuss the situation with us.

v      Students are expected to be on time to all classes.  If you are more than 10 minutes late to class, you must have permission from the teacher before entering the studio. 

v      If a student needs to leave early from class, he/she must inform the teacher before class begins.  We ask that parents do not call during class to have their child dismissed early unless it is an emergency.

POINTE CLASSES

v      Pointe classes are offered only with the permission of the directors to students who have achieved the technical proficiency and strength required.  Students must have taken two ballet classes per week for at least two years before they will be considered for pointe classes.

STUDIO RULES

v      No food/drinks are allowed in the studio.

v      As students enter the studio, they are expected to be quiet and start warming up immediately.  Excessive noise in the studio is distracting to other students who are trying to work.

v      Students are not permitted to leave the studio during class unless absolutely necessary (especially between barre and center work).

v      All students are expected to treat their teachers and classmates with respect.  It is important that the older students set a positive example for the younger students.  Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

v      Children should be walked upstairs to the studio and picked up promptly after class.  Please do not drop them off at the door.

v      In case of inclement weather, please call the studio for information regarding cancellations.  A decision will be made as early as possible, but please double check before leaving for class.
