Class schedules are subject to change. Any class with insufficient enrollment will be cancelled after the first two weeks. We often add classes and move students to different levels throughout the fall. We want to make sure everyone is in the best class for them. Please leave a message at the studio if you are going to be absent.

1. Please pick up your dancer on time. We are only responsible for your child while they are in class. Dancers are expected to be ready for class with their dance shoes on before it is time to start.
2. The studio is a business. Please do not allow your children to horseplay in the building. Empty dance rooms are not playrooms.
3. There is no class observation except on specified observation days.
