Class Changes
When dropping or adding a class at any time during the year, a drop-add
form must be completed.
These
can be picked up in The Dance Shoppe. Not showing up for classes,
does not constitute a withdrawal from class. Accounts will
continue to be charged for tuition until the drop-add form has been
completed.
Insurance
Dance
Etc. does not carry medical insurance for its students. It is
required that all students be covered by their own family insurance
policies and if injury occurs it is understood that the student's own
policy is your only source of reimbursement.
Bad Weather / Holidays
The
studio will not necessarily close for snow days, regardless if area
schools are closed.
If
in doubt call the studio before coming to class on the given day for a
recorded message. If classes are canceled, it will also air on
area radio stations.
Attendance
Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back
an entire class. Students should be prompt and prepared for class.
Practice Wear
Dance Wear is required for all classes. Students must wear
comfortable form-fitting dance attire to display proper body alignment
and allow for easy movement. No baggy t-shirts, baggy shorts, blue
jeans, no jewelry or other inappropriate attire will be allowed.
Hair should always be securely pulled away from the face.
Ballet
-
Leotard, tights and pink
ballet shoes, skirts, wraps, shorts over tights or tutus are allowed but
we must always be able to see the knees and ankles - NO DANCE PANTS
PLEASE!
Tap -
Same as ballet, but K-5 black tap shoes and 6th grade and up
tan taps with heels.
Jazz -
Any type of form-fitting appropriate dance wear such as jazz pants,
leotards, sports bras or form-fitting t-shirt and black jazz shoes.
Lyrical -
Form-fitting, comfortable attire and lyrical shoes.

Tennis shoes and comfortable clothing.
