Privacy Policy

Please respect the privacy of all our dancers and families.
📵 Do not post photos or videos of any dancer without the express permission of their parent or guardian.
🚫 Do not share any routines, class footage, or rehearsal content online without prior studio approval. Our choreography is carefully crafted and should remain private until it debuts at performances or competitions.

Studio Etiquette

We strive to maintain a professional and respectful environment for every student and family.

🧼 Hygiene Matters
Dance is physical, and good hygiene is essential. Please make sure dancers arrive in clean clothes and wear deodorant, especially ages 10+.

🚪 Classroom Access
Parents are not permitted inside studio classrooms during instruction time. If you need to speak with a teacher, please schedule a time through the front desk. Holding teachers after class causes delays for the next group—thank you for respecting everyone’s time.

🧍‍♀️ Personal Space & Belongings
Dancers must respect each other's space and property. Keep hands to yourself and do not touch or borrow items without permission. All lost and found items will be held at the front desk.

🙊 No Gossip Zone
We have a zero-tolerance policy for gossip or negative talk about students, parents, or staff. Please talk to your dancer about kindness and inclusivity. If you ever have concerns, speak directly with the front desk or set up a meeting with your teacher. We value a culture of teamwork, support, and community.

Classroom Rules

⏰ Arrive on time. Students more than 10 minutes late may not be allowed to participate.
🤫 Cell phones must be on silent during class.

Competitive vs. Recreation

Competitive Program

Dancers interested in joining our Competition Team must audition for placement. Being a part of the team requires a strong commitment to technique, choreography, and consistent training. Our instructors carefully select dancers for each routine based on style, ability, attitude, and team dynamics. Please trust our professional judgment in these decisions.

Team members are required to participate in scheduled competitions, conventions, workshops, and specialty classes throughout the season. These events are mandatory, and attendance is non-negotiable.

Costumes are a separate expense. Dancers must care for them properly—this includes storing them neatly and completing any required alterations or rhinestoning. We will provide clear guidance and visual examples. If you need help with alterations, the front desk can connect you with an experienced costumer.

Travel may be required for select events, including out-of-state competitions.

Our team environment prioritizes personal growth and development above all. While we do compete at a high level, we foster a culture of unity, sportsmanship, and mutual support—even when dancers are placed in solos or groups that may compete against one another. We win as a team, grow as a team, and support each other every step of the way.

Training Program

Our Training Program is perfect for dancers who want to build their skills and confidence without the commitment of competition. Dancers in this program participate in our annual end-of-season recital—a fun and rewarding way to celebrate their progress and passion for dance.

🎭 A recital costume fee will apply.
🎟️ Tickets will be available for purchase for the final performance.

Class Placement

All class placements are made by our teaching staff based on each dancer’s age, experience, ability, and physical development.

We carefully consider what’s best for each individual dancer’s long-term success and well-being. Please remember:

✨ Every dancer progresses at their own pace.
✨ Growth in dance is not always linear—trust the process.
✨ Our priority is to nurture both confidence and proper technique.

If you have questions about your child’s placement, we’re happy to schedule a meeting to discuss it with you.
