Note for our Teenage thru Adult Dancers: Please wear appropriate and adequately supporting undergarments/sports bras to class. Please also refrain from allowing undergarments to ''hang out'' of your dance class attire.
Attendance
Please see that your child attends classes regularly & arrives promptly. Students need time to prepare to fully benefit from the classroom experience. In addition, tardiness is distracting to the teacher and fellow students. Class will begin promptly at the designated time. Students should be dropped off no more than 15 minutes before class and be picked up within 15 minutes of the end of class. Students are prohibited from waiting outside the studio for any reason or unsupervised in the lobby. Students are encouraged to make up any missed classes. Make-up classes must be completed within the month they were missed. There will be no refunds or credits for any missed classes not made up. You are responsible to pay for the entire month even if your child attends only one class.
Student Conduct
No eating, gum chewing, or drinking in the studio.
Disruptive behavior is not tolerated. Students will be dismissed from class.
Cancellations
We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or combine classes with insufficient enrollment and to change the time, day, or instructor when necessary. No refunds are given.
Performances
European School of Dance holds an annual recital. All students are invited to participate in the recital. Costumes will be ordered in December before Christmas break. The recital is usually held the last weekend of May or the first weekend of June. Recital tickets average between $10-$15.
In addition, the studio performs in a number of community events. Information regarding these performances will be provided by the studio director.
