Student Responsibilities: Always be respectful and considerate of other students and teachers. Failure to obey this rule will result in the termination of your enrollment at the studio without refund. Students are not allowed to run around in the studio. Students and siblings are expected to stay in the waiting area. The teacher will invite the students into class when it is about time to begin class. Remember to be quiet during class and raise your hand when you have a question. Enjoy yourself, have fun and don’t forget your smile!
Parents Responsibilities: Cooperate with the teachers in carrying out discipline penalties when action is necessary. The teacher must be able to maintain authority in order for all the students to enjoy class. Remain in the waiting area during class. If a young child is unsure about participating at first, you may want to try letting him/her watch the class first, or bring him/her early so he/she will become comfortable with the studio. Children mature at different ages, if your child is not ready for class; please bring him/her back when he/she feels more comfortable with dance class. Be sure your child's shoes fit properly-it is very difficult to enjoy dance class when you shoes are either too big or too small. Please check the bulletin board, website, and the calendar of events- they contain important information you will need to know about upcoming events! We will occasionally hand out notes-please ask your child if they were given information each week.

There is a form that the parents must fill out in order for friend to participate. The friend must fit the age requirements for your Child’s class. Grandparent’s week will be the first week in February, your child may bring their grandparents along to their class to watch them and see what they have learned.
Attendance: Attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class, and the studio cannot jeopardize its responsibility to the rest of the class for one student. Please make every effort to have your child to class on time. Annual Recital: Every year we host a dance recital to give your child the chance to showcase their talents. This is a fun and rewarding experience for all the dancers. We hope that you will consider joining us for this exciting opportunity. Our annual recital will be held on June 18th & 19th, 2010 at Rickman Auditorium in Arnold, MO.
Recital Costumes & Fees: Students will be measured in Nov. 2008 for recital costumes and a deposit on your costume and recital fee will be due by Nov. 2009. You may choose to do three payments on your costume and recital fee, the first is due Nov. 9th, the second is due Dec. 5th, and the third and final payment will be due on Jan. 9th, 2010. Costumes must be ordered early to ensure their arrival by recital time. NO COSTUMES WILL BE ORDERED WITHOUT A DEPOSIT. NO EXCEPTIONS. There is no guarantee on late orders; they will also be subject to additional late fees. If a student drops classes after deposits or full payments have been made for costumes, there will be no refunds. However, you may pick up costumes that are paid in full when they come in, but you will be responsible for calling in May to come back and pick it up if your child does drop before recital. This fee is included in the three payments. Recital fees cover cost such as the rental of the facility, staff, backdrop, programs, tickets, cleanup, etc. Additional tickets will be on sale for an additional $8.00 each, starting in June.
