Attendance

In order to gain full benefit of the class, regular attendance is a must. If a dancer has 6 or more absences from a class, he/she may be ineligible to participate in the end-of-semester performance/recital. This decision will be determined by the Instructor and studio Director. Being prompt to class is also extremely important. If your dancer is late, he/she may miss the warm up that can help prevent injury. If a student is 15 minutes late or more to class, he/she may be asked to sit and observe class or wait until the next class to enter.

Danceworks strives to provide a healthy environment for our students, staff, and families. If your dancer is sick or does not feel well, please keep them home and do not bring them to dance class. This includes symptoms such as fever*, cough, sore throat, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, or any other signs of infection or contagious disease. *A dancer must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before coming to dance class.

If your child sustains an injury that prevents them from participating in dance class for an extended period of time, please let us know and we will work with you to find a suitable solution.

Dress

Dancers must come to class in the appropriate attire and hairstyle specified in the dress code. He/She may be asked to observe class if they are not adhering to the dress code. Teachers cannot correct students if they cannot see their body alignment or feet, or if the student cannot execute a movement due to inappropriate attire. Repeated dress code violations may result in contacting parents. Note: We are no longer offering shoes to temporarily borrow due to hygiene and logistics reasons.

Cell Phones & Other Devices

Students are not allowed to check their cell phones or other devices during class unless he/she has been given permission from the instructor to contact a parent/caregiver. A student's cell phone may be placed in “jail” at the front desk and returned to the student after class if policy not followed. If a student's smart watch becomes an obvious distraction for the student, he/she may be asked to remove their watch for the rest of class.

Food & Drinks

Students may not bring any food or drink into the studio rooms except for water. Chewing gum is not permitted during class.

Bathroom Usage

Students of all ages should use the restroom prior to class time in order to minimize disruptions during class. If your child needs assistance undressing/ dressing, please remain in the lobby during class so that you may assist your child should they need to use the restroom. Our staff is permitted to escort children to the restroom and assist them with washing their hands, but they will not accompany a child in the stall. This is for the protection of both students and staff.

Behavior

Our classes must be a positive learning environment; therefore, if a student does not follow the rules or is disrespectful to the instructor, we reserve the right to remove him/her from class.
