Handbook
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
