Arriving for Class ·
Try not to be late. It is a disruption to the class and steps may need to be repeated. If you miss warm-ups you may be asked to sit out to avoid injuries. · Arrive ten to fifteen minutes before class starts to put on shoes and be ready when class starts. If class has started put shoes on in the hallway and enter when ready, causing the least amount of disruption. The studio is not responsible for your child before or after the class, at recitals, or competitions. Please pick your dancers up on time. A babysitting charge may apply if a dancer is not picked up on time.
