STUDIO POLICIES
Can I watch my child's class?
In order to keep distractions to a minimum, only students are allowed in the classroom.
For parent observation, there are television monitors located in the lobby.
Instructors randomly invite parents in toward the end of class to show what they have been teaching.
Studio Rules
Parents are responsible for the behavior and safety of their children. We ask that you please observe the following general rules:
- Children are not permitted to play in the lobbies at any time. The lobby is for sitting, observing and visiting only.
- The studio is not a playground. Toys and other materials are not to be spread over lobby floors.
- Siblings and friends brought into the studio are to be monitored at all times.
- Horseplay inside/outside the building will not be tolerated.
- We reserve the right to ask anyone who is disruptive to leave.
- Please keep conversation in the lobby positive and up-beat. Negativity is not appreciated, nor tolerated.
- Drinks are only allowed in the lobbies, not in the dance studios.
- Please pick up your trash.
- A vacant studio is not to be played or loitered in.
- Please be on time for class. If a student is more than 5 minutes late, the instructor may not allow him/her to take class. It is very disruptive when students come in late.
- It is a common courtesy to call when you will not be in class.
- Be prompt in picking up your child. We will not be responsible for your child before and after class. Students may not be dropped off more than 10 minutes prior to their class time. If we notice your child being dropped off any earlier, we will be calling you to come and sit with your child.

Does the studio close for holidays and inclement weather?
Yes, the studio closes on some holidays and during inclement weather as determined by Springdale Public Schools. In extreme cases, the studio may close during evening classes. Classes will be made up at a later time. If you are unsure about class cancellations, please call the studio, visit our facebook page or check your e-mail. The Studio Calendar has all important dates.
What kind of music will my child be dancing to?
Although students are exposed to a wide range of music, it is always age-appropriate and tasteful. Classes will not listen to music that contains harsh words, topics, and sexual undertones.
