• Parents and other family members are permitted to observe classes during the first-class meeting of each month only. Allowing your child to have the teacher’s full attention creates an ideal learning environment. You will find that your child will retain classroom curriculum better and be less distracted during class time.
• If your child has special health needs, please discuss this with your instructor. If you have other questions or concerns regarding our parent observation policy, please discuss it with your instructor or us here.

• All Ballet 3-6 classes must wear uniforms. Visit our uniform section for more information here. 
• In the winter months, dancers are permitted to wear dance sweaters, and leg warmers to class.
• Watches & jewelry must be removed before class. Small earrings are permitted.
• Long hair in a bun for ballet and low pony tails are allowed for Contemporary & Jazz. View full details in Hair Policy.

Grooming is a very important part of your dancer’s training. For Ballet, dancers with long hair must pull their hair off of face and neck and into a secure bun. If the class is early in the afternoon, we recommend that dancers go to school with their hair in a bun. Short hair must be neatly styled & pulled away from face. Ponytails are allowed for Contemporary and Jazz.
