Studio Policies
Please see below for a detail of studio policies. If you have any questions please call or email the studio for clarification.
Attendance
Attendance will be taken weekly in classes. Please inform teacher ahead of time if possible of absences. As we near performance or recital time please make your best effort to attend classes.
Class Cancellations
Ms. V's Dance will follow the School District's cancellations for inclement weather. This will be emailed to the studio email list as well as posted on the website under announcements. If classes are cancelled for any other reason the teacher will alert the students with prior notice.
Dress Code
To ensure that all students are appropriately dressed and wear appropriate shoes, Ms. V's Dance has enacted a strict dress code policy effective the 2011-2012 dance year. We respectfully ask parents to ensure that their children abide by the following policies:
Leotards and tights are preferred and are absolutely essential if your child is taking a ballet class. Exercise or aerobic attire is permitted for other forms of dance. Put your name in all dance shoes and dancewear in case of loss. If you change shoes during class for a different subject, a dance bag is strongly recommended to avoid “shoe mix-ups.”
PLEASE NOTE: JEANS, JEAN SHORTS, JEGGINGS, PANTS, OR OTHER TYPES OF “SCHOOL ATTIRE” ARE NOT ALLOWED. If you are unable to change before coming to class, bring class clothes with you to change in the studio bathroom.
SHOES - Appropriate shoes must be worn for each subject. See list below:
Jazz: Ages 6-8 Tan Lace-up Leather Jazz Shoe
Ages 9-11 and Teen Tan Leather Slip-on Bootie or Shoe
Hip-Hop: Ages 9-11 and Teen Tan Leather Slip-on Bootie or Shoe
Ballet: All Ages Pink Leather Ballet Shoe
Tap: All Ages Tan Leather Mary Jane Tap Shoe
Lyrical: All Ages PAWZ or Barefoot (ask teacher for preference)
