Studio Policies

This session runs from August of 2024 (starting the week of August 5th) through June of 2025. By registering, you are committing to the entire session (mid-season registration occurs in December of 2024 for a January 2025 start). 

We are a “drop-off only” studio (there is no waiting area in the studio). Family members may not watch classes inside the studio unless invited in by the instructor. 

Students should arrive a few minutes early for each class. Please don’t arrive more than 5 minutes early, as there will be no one available to supervise your child.

Please help your child be successful by bringing him/her to class prepared. Students are required to wear specific clothing and hairstyles to class. You can find these requirements in the class descriptions above. They should also be encouraged to have a snack and use the bathroom BEFORE they come. They should bring a water bottle to class.

All students are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. Any student acting with disruptive, unsafe, or other unacceptable behavior may be asked to leave.

If your child is ever not feeling well, he/she should stay home. Students with obvious signs of illness will be asked to leave.
