• Appropriate attire must be worn during every class. Students should wear pink dance tights (no panty hose, decorative tights, or leggings), black leotard, black dance skirts, and black dance shorts may be worn also. Students are not allowed to wear pants, shorts, and/or shirts of any kind over dance clothes while in class.
• Appropriate dance shoes must be worn during every class. If you do not have the appropriate shoes, you are allowed to sit and watch the class, but not participate.
• Hair must be pulled up and away from the face. Buns are preferred. 
• Dance shoes are never to be worn outside of the dance room.
• Street shoes are never to be worn in the dance room.
• There is no jewelry, gum, food, and/or drinks allowed in the dance room. The exception is a water bottle that seals for any dancer taking multiple classes that are connected.
• Students are not allowed to enter the dance room more than five minutes after class has started. I know there are emergency situations sometimes, but arriving late is a disruption for the entire class.
• ​There are no dressing rooms or public restrooms. Dancers have a restroom to use, but are encouraged to use before and/or after class.
• ​Dancers 10 and under are not allowed to be left in the lobby unsupervised between classes. Dancers over 10 may stay in the lobby between classes, but Studio C cannot be responsible for the supervision of any dancer left unattended by a parent unless they are in a dance class.
• Students are allowed to bring one bag into class with them. All bags must be stored under the benches during class.
• Each student is allowed ten absences per dance season. After ten absences, your dancer will not be allowed to perform in the recital, but will be allowed to attend the class for the remainder of the year. Attendance is important, but I do realize these children do other activities. A perfect attendance award will be given at the end of the year, and any dancer that has had two absences or less will be eligible for this award and recognized for this achievement at the end of the recital.
• Tuition is due on the first dance day of each month beginning in August and ending in May. There are ten sessions. A late fee of $15 will be added to any tuition amount paid after the tenth of the month.
• ​Tuition payments are not allowed to be split up. One person must be responsible for the full tuition amount each month.
  
• If a student quits class for any reason during the year, they will not be allowed to return until the following dance season.
• If school gets canceled, lets out early, or after school activities are canceled due to inclement weather, then dance classes will be canceled for that day also. All classes canceled due to situations beyond my control will not be made up. I try to follow Calhoun County Schools when making cancellation decisions due to weather.
• If I have to cancel any class, there will be a make up scheduled. Because this make up will not be the same day and time, attendance will not be taken for the make up classes.
• ​A five year award and a ten year award will be given for consecutive years at our studio. An attendance award will be given to dancers missing two or less classes for the year. These awards will be given at the end of the spring recital each year.
• If a student misses a class the week before the recital or the dress rehearsal, they will not be allowed to perform in the recital.
• If you need Mrs. Chapman for any reason, please contact her through email at danceatstudioc@gmail.com. Time should not be taken away from any class due to discussions that should take place via email.
• I expect every student and parent to be respectful of this art, the dance studio, each other, and the teacher.
