Guidelines

Drop-off and Pick-up

Parents please advise your children about being careful at pick up time after class. When parents pull up front, children often run to them without looking or thinking. Please encourage your child to wait so that you and your child have time to check the area thoroughly. Whenever possible, someone will be at the doorway of the building so that you may feel comfortable dropping off your child and then after class we will bring them downstairs for pick up. This applies to children 9 and under only. Older children should also be reminded to wait near the doorway and if they are alone to wait inside the doorway. We're here to help make pick up and drop off times easy for you. But please be on time! If you are going to be late, please call.

Tuition

Tuition is due on the first lesson of the month. If no one is at the desk and you need to make a payment, you may deposit it into our locked tuition boxes located in the 3rd floor office on the wall, behind the desk, or on the 2nd floor through the glass doors, just outside of the acting room, cash payments should be put in an envelope with the child's name, tuition amount and month. If a students last name is different than the parents, please put your child's name on the bottom of your check.                   

Dress Code

Please remember to put girls hair in a pony tail (with a hair elastic, not a scrunchie )or short hair may be pinned back off the face for class.

In colder months students should bring a sweater or sweatshirt to class.

Students should wear appropriate dance clothes and shoes at all times.

(see dancewear list for classes below) Ask your teacher.

If students do not bring appropriate shoes or proper dress, their teacher may ask them to sit and watch the class.

Newsletters or notices are sent home with the students from time to time. Parents should check with their children for these. Always feel free to call the school if unsure of anything.

When acting students start rehearsing their plays they will be bringing home scripts to study. We would appreciate it if parents would help younger children with memorization of lines and encourage older students to study. Dates for these shows will be sent home in January.
