Rules and Regulations (MS Word) - Important rules and regulations to review with your child

Class Placement and Appearance

Beginner students are placed in class by age, whenever possible. Intermediate and advanced students are placed according to ability with consideration given to age.

Student's appearance in class must be neat at all times. Girls are required to tie or pin hair back from their face, neatly secured off the neck; no jewelry; and wear leotards and tights as prescribed. Sweaters and T-shirts are allowed in cold weather only and are to be removed after warm-up. If students wear their dance clothes to class, please wear a cover-up (dress, slacks etc.) upon entering or exiting the studio. Please put student's name in all belongings. All students who are not beginners may of course wear their ballet, tap, jazz shoes from last dance season to class. The above shoes will need to be purchased sometime before recital. 

* All academy students may need additional shoes, depending on costuming. I will give you time to purchase them.

Class Etiquette

Drinks, food and gum are not permitted in the dance class. Please try to be prompt for classes, it disrupts the other students when you are late. There is no gum allowed anywhere in the building.

Student Safety

Students should not arrive more than five to ten minutes before the scheduled lesson and are to leave the studio after the class is completed.

Little ones get very upset when their parents are late after class.  For their safety, caution them about not leaving the building until you arrive. We cannot assume responsibility for students after class is dismissed, as there is no one to supervise their activities. Parents are responsible for supervising any additional children who are waiting in the lobby.

Viewing Classes

Fenton School of Dance Studio - Parents are invited to attend the first lesson each month (excluding the first lesson of the year). Please do not bring extra children or family to view class. One person is allowed per child. We just don't have the space to accommodate large audiences and conduct classes at the same time. For the rest of the series we ask that there be no visitors in the dance studio.  However, if you must be there you may wait in the reception area. Visitors in the studio are expected to sit quietly throughout the lesson.

Dance Extension Studio - Our studio in Holly does have 2-way mirrors for viewing.  However, we can not block the hallways so please do not bring extra children or family to view class.
