Attendance - Attendance is very crucial to the progress of a dance or vocal student, and to the class as a whole. Our curriculum is carefully designed to build on previous class learning. If you are going to be absent from class, please call. If you miss a class, you will have the opportunity to make up the class, if desired.
Punctuality - Classes will begin on time. If you are late, and class is already in progress, please enter as quickly and quietly as possible.

Attire - Students are required to wear proper dance attire to all classes. Black leotards, any style, and pink tights are required for students 2 1/2 - 12 years old. Students older than 12 may wear black tights, black dance pants and black sport bra tops. Male dancers may wear white t-shirts or tanks tops with black seat pants, athletic pants or black shorts. Hair must be pulled up or back from the face. Acceptable styles include: bun, ponytail, braids.
Shoes - All ballets must be pink leather and have laces neatly tucked inside shoes. Babies 2 1/2 - 5 may have white or black tap shoes. Students 6 - 10 have white tie taps, and 11 - up wear black tap oxfords. All jazz students wear black pull on jazz shoes (no laces.)
Jewelry - At no time should jewelry be worn in dance class. Please do not leave jewelry or any other valuables in the bathrooms.

Closings - The studio closes for inclement weather following Shelby Co. School closings. The Christmas break, following Shelby Co. Schools, is observed for the studio for Christmas break closing. We are closed only on Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Memorial Day. Not the days preceding or following.
