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. 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. The Barlett studio closes for inclement weather following the Shelby County School closings & the Oakland studio will follow the Fayette County inclement weather 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. We like to keep the emphasis on fun but, of course, there are times when we have to state the rules and ask for your help in following them. Lobby
