DRESS CODE & DANCE BAG
Students are expected to be prepared before each class with the proper dress code. In addition to the following dress code all dancers must have hair up and out of their face. No jewelry is allowed except for stud earrings (one in each ear). All students should carry a dance bag to transport your properties (Dance shoes, dancewear, notebook, pencil, and hair supplies). Dance shoes are not allowed to be worn outside the studio. Please write your name inside your Dance shoes and personal properties.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is very important here at the Studio. Students must try to attend all of their scheduled classes. Choreography is always progressing and holds all other classmates back when the instructor spends class time re-teaching last week’s lessons. Please be considerate to fellow classmates. Students who are too ill to participate, or have a conflict, please call or email the studio to explain your absence.
WAITING ROOM
CLOSED! (When guidelines change, we will re-evaluate. Bathrooms will be open for students & staff only.
PLACEMENT
All students are subject to change class level and time depending on their dance ability. Each student will be placed at her/his own level to learn and improve properly. All former students are subject to change class level and time depending on their personal growth. Level, Ability, Effort, Attendance, and Attitude will be taken into consideration for each and every student.
Company & Ballet Students! Your level and class status may change. You will be notified (if needed) of your class/level change throughout the year at any time.
SNOW DAYS
In the event of inclement weather, you will be notified by email. One snow day is included in the tuition; all other cancellations will have a scheduled make-up. Our Facebook page will have all updated announcements and events.
Please note: We do not always follow the Lynn Public School System.
COMPANY MEMBERS AND COMPETITORS
You are not exempt from these rules; as a matter of fact you have only four excused absences. Remember to use these only when needed. As the school year comes to the end there seems to be so many reasons why we need more time off so let’s use them wisely! Additional competition fees will be applied to your bill prior to competition.
