Policies

To ensure a clean and healthy environment for everyone, please follow these simple hygiene rules:

• Hair: For your safety and to keep the mats clean, all hair should be tied back unless it is too short to do so.
• Nails: Please keep your fingernails and toenails trimmed short.
• Shoes & Feet: Please arrive with clean feet and shoes, as our mats are used by all students, including children. A quick shower before class is always appreciated.

• Weather/Acts of God: Classes canceled due to weather will not be rescheduled.
• Teacher Illness: If a teacher is ill, we will arrange a makeup class.
• Student Illness: Makeup classes are not offered for student illness unless the time is needed for a specific dance. We do not offer refunds for missed classes.

During competition season, we will miss one weekend a month. We will schedule a makeup class for recreational students, but competition students will not have a makeup class on these days.

Recital season is a special time, and we want every student to have a great experience.

• Attendance: To ensure a polished performance, consistent attendance is crucial. Students with poor attendance may have less stage time.
• Recital Week: You must attend the final week of practice and the dress rehearsal to perform in the recital. We will provide these dates at least 30 days in advance. We understand that emergencies happen, but these rules are in place to ensure a safe and organized show. Please talk to us well in advance if you foresee a conflict.

We are closed on the following holidays:

• Christmas Eve & Day
• New Year’s Eve & Day
• Thanksgiving Eve & Day
• Black Friday
• July 4th (due to the ADC Parade)
• Memorial Day

You may also take off for any religious holidays, but please note that we do not offer makeup classes for these days.
