Music
All classes will be conducted
to Christian music. However, we will also be using some classical for our ballet classes as well as some
age-appropriate children’s music for our younger students.
For recital all of our music will honor and glorify God.

Class Time
Please do not drop your child
off at the studio more than 10 minutes prior to her/his class.
Most classes are “closed curtain” (meaning teacher
and students only in the classroom).
This helps minimize distraction for the students.
Our viewing window will be open on occasion and we will have open house in December.
You are more than welcome to stay in our foyer area during your child’s class
time if you would like. However, this area can become a little warm due to the windows as well as a little
crowded. If you would like to drop your child off, we will take excellent care of her/him!
Please have your child change back into street shoes before leaving.
Dance shoes are for the studio only, they are never to be worn outside.
Holidays
2010-2011
No classes will be held
the following days:
Sepember
6, Labor Day
November 22-26, Happy Thanksgiving!
December 20-31, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
March 7-11, Happy Spring Break!
Reminder: Tuition is the same on months with holidays.
Dress Code
It
is expected that class dress codes will be followed. If a student arrives for class out of dress code more
than twice they will be asked to observe class only and will not be able to participate.
**Attendance**
Attendance is taken at each class and recognition is given at the recital for perfect attendance.
Good attendance is imperative, as absences can hold back an entire class. Please make every
effort to have your child at every class unless your child is ill. This is most important after Christmas.
Students missing more
than 3 classes during recital season (January to May) may not be able to participate in the recital!
When it is time to sign up for spring ball or other springtime activities, which also coincides with recital
season, please keep in mind how important attendance is before recital.
Please avoid tardiness. The beginning of class is an important time when students prepare their
bodies through stretches that will help them avoid injury.
Also, please be on time to pick your child up. I
Insurance
It is required that all dance students be covered by their own family insurance policies and if injury occurs it
is understood that the student’s own policy is the only source of reimbursement.
Extra
Fees
Most dance programs with end of the
year recitals have extra costs/fees. Our program is no exception. These expenses can
catch new parents off guard. Hopefully, knowing of these added costs in advance will help parents prepare
for them. The following expenses are approximate.

Recital Fee $65
per family
*Costume Deposits ($30 per costume) are due by November
1st.
*Costume Balances due in full by December

Theater.

**Keeping Parents
Informed**
Due to the size
of our school at this time it is no longer easy or practical to communicate with parents on paper. Most
communication will now be electronic, including newsletters.
Please make sure we have a current e-mail address if
possible! All information will be e-mailed and posted on our website.
