Each class does have a specific dress code. All items are available for purchase at the studio ( or can be ordered).

Hair: Hair is expected to be in a bun at all times in all classes. Students with shorter hair unable to be pulled into a bun must have it completely off the face and neck. Jewelry may not be worn at any time while taking dance class.

In order to provide the best education we can for our dancers, we do not allow for parents or anyone to observe weekly classes. We feel that to gain the full awareness of what is going on in the classroom and to allow the student to feel open to try things and be comfortable it is best to not have additional people in the room to possibly distratc the dancers.

We do have observation week and that will take place November 7th-10th, 2011
To observe class we ask that no other children are in attendance as space does nto allow for anyone other than the 2 parents or one parent and another adult (i.e grandmom etc) Each dancer in class is allowed no more than 2 adult guests at Observation. Pictures and video may be taken of class however are not allowed to be posted on any internet site including facebook, youtube and all the rest unless written permission of the director is given. More information on observation week is emailed to students in October.
