Proper Dance Attire

 Our dress code allows for instructors to observe and critique body alignment and positioning to be sure that the student is executing steps properly and to avoid injury. Every student is required to wear proper shoes and dance attire to class each week for all classes. The dress code is available on the website as well as at the studio. Feel free to see our staff members if you have any questions. Please do NOT wear dance shoes outside to help protect our professional floors clean for all dancers.
 
Waiting Room

We ask for parents' cooperation in training their child from the very beginning to get ready for class 'quietly' in the cubby area so as not to disturb the classes that are in session. We ask that children have adult supervision at all times while in the waiting room. Your help with this will be appreciated by all. Please help keep the waiting room area picked up for the next family. Thank you.
 
Make-up Lessons

Please call the studio to let the teacher know when your child/self will not be at class. We cannot not guarantee make-up classes. Classes missed due to illness or any other valid reason may be made up by attending another class if one is available. Check with Becky for the proper class days and times for make-up, if available. 
Advanced classes, as well as private/solo, semi and trio classes, due to their nature, do not have make-up lessons available if you are absent. 
 
Inclement Weather Cancellations

Each class is scheduled two snow days.  If we DO NOT use them, they are considered free classes.
Any dance classes cancelled due to the weather will be listed on wjvl.com,
you can also follow us Facebook & Instagram for updated information.
Please remember that you are ultimately responsible to determine if you can safely drive in bad weather. 
 
Communication emails
 
We send all communication and reminders through email. We MUST have an email address on file to send studio reminders and information. Please check with our desk personnel if you are not receiving our emails.
 
 
Recital Dance Music for Home Practice
Once dances have been started and the recital songs are edited, the music will be available on your parent portal for dancers to practice their routine at home.
 
Dress Rehearsals for Recitals
All students are required to be at the dress rehearsals for their recitals. 
Rehearsals are scheduled in the evenings during the week of the recitals. ALL students are required to wear
full costumes, stage make-up, with proper tights/socks and dance shoes at the dress rehearsals.
Details will be posted in plenty of time to make any necessary arrangements. 
If a problem still arises, please talk with Becky immediately!
 
Costume Down-payment
A non-refundable costume down-payment of $45.00+tax will be due on or before October 15th for each class taken with the remaining balance ($30-$40+tax) due when they arrive. We will NOT order any costume until the down-payment is paid.
Failure to make the costume down-payment will make your child/self ineligible to perform in the dance recital.

The costume balance must be paid along with 4th term tuition prior to picking up the costume for the recital. 
You are required to purchase proper dance tights for the recital from our studio so all of the girls in the class remain uniform.
The tights requirements for each class will be determined by the costume ordered and will be available at the desk.
