If hair is long, it should be pulled back, braided, in a pony-tail or put in a bun. In all cases long hair should never be loose.

Dance Attire:Jazz class attire should be tights and leotards or leggings or bicycle shorts and a t-shirt. Any color of dancewear is acceptable. The need for loose dancewear is for ease in movement, the stretches and floor work.Ballet class attire should be tights and leotards. The students can wear any color.Tap dance attire can be any type of dancewear or loose fitted clothing.Musical Theatre Class can dress in casual clothes. No tight clothing unless it stretches.

Save your visiting for after class. Students do not need to discuss the day’s activities with one another during class. You are here to learn something new and enjoy the class. I want you to look, listen and learn. If you have a question, raise your hand.

Water bottles are permitted in class and should be brought to the dance area for easy access. There are specific places to set your water bottles so check with the teacher. Even she needs a drink of water once in a while.

Go to the bathroom before class. I try to have as few interruptions as possible during dance class.
Young students in the pre grades are exceptions and may be excused, with a parent, when necessary.

If you are ill, stay home. We wouldn't want a sick dancer in class. Stay home and rest.

If parents have questions, I try to answer them before or after class.
