Dance Studio Etiquette Expectations

Welcome to our THE DANCE POINTE! To ensure a positive, respectful, and productive environment for everyone, we ask all students and parents to follow these etiquette guidelines:

For Students:

1. Punctuality: Arrive at the studio at least 10 minutes before your class begins. This allows you time to prepare and ensures classes start on time.

2. Dress Code: Adhere to the studio’s dress code for each class. This includes appropriate dancewear, shoes, and grooming. Hair should be neatly tied back.

3. Respect: Show respect to instructors, classmates, and studio staff. Listen attentively, follow instructions, and refrain from disruptive behavior.

4. Studio Cleanliness: Keep the studio clean. Dispose of trash properly, and clean up any personal items or spills. Leave the space as you found it.

5. No Food or Drink: Only water is allowed in the studio. Please eat snacks and meals in designated areas outside of the dance spaces.

6. Silence Devices: Ensure all mobile devices are silenced or turned off during class to avoid disruptions.

7. Positive Attitude: Maintain a positive and supportive attitude. Encourage your peers, be open to constructive feedback, and strive for personal growth.

8. Personal Belongings: Keep personal belongings in designated areas. The studio is not responsible for lost or stolen items, so please leave valuables at home.

9. Attendance: Consistent attendance is important for your progress and the cohesiveness of the class. If you must miss a class, inform your instructor in advance.

10. Health and Safety: Prioritize your health and safety. Inform your instructor of any injuries or health concerns, and always warm up properly before dancing.

For Parents:

1. Support and Encouragement: Encourage your child to attend classes regularly and be supportive of their efforts and progress.

2. Timely Drop-off and Pick-up: Ensure your child arrives on time for class and is picked up promptly afterward. Please wait in designated areas during class time.

3. Studio Environment: Respect the studio environment by keeping waiting areas clean and quiet. Younger siblings should be supervised at all times.

4. Communication: Stay informed about studio updates, schedules, and events. Address any concerns or questions with studio staff or instructors respectfully and privately.

5. Respect Class Time: Refrain from entering the dance studio during classes unless invited by the instructor. This helps maintain focus and minimizes distractions.

6. Photo and Video Policy: Follow the studio’s policy on photography and videography. Do not record classes or performances without permission.

By following these etiquette expectations, we can create a harmonious and inspiring atmosphere for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to making our studio a wonderful place to dance.

Let’s have an amazing dance year together!
