Preparing for Class:

 

1. Dancers are to enter the studio rooms fully dressed for class with their hair properly pulled back (ponytails or buns) and dance shoes on.   Staff members will help little ones who need assistance with their shoes.  Street shoes are not allowed in  the dance rooms.   

2. Put your child’s name in all their shoes and on their bag.  The teacher will help dancers change shoes in the middle of class.  Our Dancewear Shoppe has all the required shoes for your little dancers.  Please see DRESS CODE tab above for the required footwear. 

3. Parents of Mini's will be allowed to enter the classroom with their student if needed.  We encourage you to leave the room when your child becomes comfortable.  Mini students must be coming into the classroom on their own by Thanksgiving in order to be in the June recital.  

4. The youngest dancers will often have tears of anxiety the first few weeks.  This is normal.  The teachers are trained to get children “on task” quickly.  It is not uncommon to have a few dancers on a few hips the first month of class.  The best way to ensure success is to assure them they are going to have fun.

​

What to expect your first week:

​

1. The first  week or two of classes can be a bit crazy. Bear with us as we learn everyones name and which class they are in.   

2. Parents are not required to stay in the parking lot while your child is in class but if you are running late to pick them up, kindly give us  a call to let us know.

3. Like school, the first few weeks are review, and getting everyone comfortable with new classes and new teachers.  This helps to make the students comfortable and the teachers can see if they are in the correct class.  

4. If dancers have been placed into classes that are not correct for them - Don’t Worry - we will find a more suitable class. 

5. Parents, it is best to get your dancer to class on time and don't forget the dance bag.  We will greet the students at the door to let them in as soon as the class prior to theirs has exited the building. 

​

Always contact the office if you have questions or concerns.  Every staff member wants your experience here to be positive and rewarding.  

​

Preparing for your First Mini's Class:

The goal with the mini's is to have them coming into the building and class room by themselves.  This may not happen right away and may take a while for some kids and that is okay!  In order for them to participate in our annual recital (which is priceless at this age) they must be coming in on their own by Thanksgiving.  If they are not, they can still come to class.  Coming in by Thanksgiving just ensures that they will be ready to do the recital all on their own as parents are not allowed backstage at recital.  

If you, the parent or caregiver, do come into the class with them you will need to remove your shoes at the classroom door.

1. Wear something comfortable, because you will participate right along side your child.

2. No coffee or other beverages except water are allowed into the building and only in the lobby.

3. Siblings/other children or adults are not allowed to come in with you.  One parent per child.  Please leave extra children at home.

4. Leave your cell phone outside the studio room with your shoes.  

​

We will have the viewing window open so you can watch them for a few minutes of class the first  week.  We ask that you do not tap on the window or open the door to talk to them.  We also ask that you do not go in and out of the classroom, as this is disruptive to the class.  

​

Do not expect them to do everything and follow all directions.  They will learn all of this in time.  Be patient, it will take some time for them to get comfortable with us and separating from you, but they will!
