School Rules

• Arrival time - Please be on time. The whole of class, including warming up, is important, and late arrival is disruptive for other students.
  
• Dress code - For girls in Ballet 1 and up: black leotard, pink tights, pink ballet slippers with bows tucked in. Pre-ballet girls wear light pink leotards and tights, and pink ballet slippers. All boys: white T-shirt, black tights or shorts, black ballet slippers. Jazz students: comfortable, loose clothing, jazz shoes. All students should enter and leave the building in street clothes and shoes, not just in leotards, tights and slippers.
  
• Hair - Neat and off the face, with all hair neatly contained. Use hair spray and bobby pins as necessary. Girls in ballet 1 and up should pull hair back in a bun with hairnet and hairpins.
  
• No jewelry, except for non-dangling earrings.
  
• In class behavior - Please respect the teacher and one another. Dancing is fun and active, but also requires attention and effort. Students stay in the studio for the duration of the class. Please use the bathroom before or after, not during, class.
  
• Ballet Dictionary - All serious students should have a copy of Gail Grant's Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet. It is an industry standard for ballet terminology and definitions.
  
• Parking - Please park up on the driveway. We are not allowed street parking. You may park behind the garage bays, as well as on the grass. Enter the house through the first door on the back deck.
  
• Lost and found - Located on top of the dryer in the laundry room. Please check regularly for lost items.
  
• Observation week - Second week of the month. Seating is limited, and all observers must be able to sit still for the duration of class. If you or your child needs to move around while watching, please wait until the music stops to do so.

Thank you.
