Studio Rules

We want all of our students to have an enjoyable and educational dance experience. We will treat you and your children with courtesy and respect. We expect our students to show the same toward their teachers and fellow dancers.

We request that your children observe the following simple rules:

Pay Attention to your teacher – Don’t talk with your friends during class. It disrupts the whole class and makes it difficult for the teacher to communicate with the students.

Do not pull on or hang from the Ballet Barres. They can be pulled from the wall or you can get stuck in them. This could result in potential injury.

Come prepared to dance – Have proper dance attire, attitude, energy.

Students should arrive at the studio with sufficient time to change into dance shoes to begin class on time. If students need to leave before the end of the class, they should notify the teacher before class begins. Students may not leave the classroom without first receiving permission from the teacher.

Teachers have the responsibility to see that their class is under control, and they have the authority to dismiss any student who will not cooperate and is a disruption to the rest of the class. Inappropriate dress or behavior will not be allowed.

No gum, food or drinks will be permitted inside the classrooms during class or rehearsal except for water. No street shoes may be worn in the studio at any time.

Parents should remain in the waiting room unless invited into the studio space. This policy is enforced up to the discretion of the instructor.

Attendance is an important part of dance classes. Absences affect you/your child, as well as, other members of the class. There are no refunds on missed classes. There will be make-up classes scheduled to accommodate weather related cancellations. Please notify the Director of ADAM and/or instructors if you/your child will be absent. In the event of an extended illness/injury or other unforeseen circumstances, please contact the Director as soon as possible. The Director and Instructors must be notified of any sports related absences during the first week of the session. In the event of three or more absences, you/your child may be pulled from part or the entirety of class pieces. Exceptions apply.*

*Absences may be excused by the Director or class instructors in special circumstances.

Example: In cases of global pandemic, natural disaster, or family emergency.

All Cancellations and/or Delays will be posted on the Studio ADAM Student & Parent Page and the ADAM Calendar. Make-up classes and additional rehearsals will also be posted.
