A little class info...

Dress Code: A dancer’s attire greatly determines the attitude toward their class work. Therefore, we require that the Dress Code is followed at all times. Basic dance attire; leotard, tights, skirt/shorts and proper shoes. Instructors will not allow class participation by a dancer who continually neglects this requirement. This is not a difficult dress code to follow; it is the same for any activity that requires a “uniform”- a leotard, tights and skirt are the dancer’s uniform. It's important for dancers to abide by a dress code policy; a neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, instructors, and the art of dance. 

The code will be enforced for the safety of the dancer as well;  the instructor must be able to see the dancer's body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture and alignment. Hair must be up - secured and tied up and off the face and neck. Jewelry must not be worn. Gum chewing or candy is not allowed during class.  No loose-fitting pants or sweatpants, blue jeans or t-shirts.

 

It may be necessary for instructors to place their hands on the dancers for proper placement and correction of body alignment, choreography and instructional purposes.   

 

Dancers that have completed 2 years of pre-pointe will need to make an appointment at Dance Line to set up a fitting for their pointe shoes. Please note that we do not allow lambs wool “toe pads” it is more comfortable for the dancer to use gel pads.

Attendance Policy/ Absenteeism/Un-Excused Absences: 

It is very important that dancers attend all scheduled classes, rehearsals & make up sessions. Regular attendance is imperative to ensure the dancer receives the maximum benefit from the classes. This is especially true in groups where a student’s continual absence will have an effect on formation involving other students and their placement in the choreographed routines. It is the dancer’s and parent’s responsibility to obtain any choreography or information missed during absences. Tuition is due whether or not your dancer attends classes; credit is not given for missed classes. If a dancer must miss class for any reason, please notify us prior to the class. You will need to present a doctor’s note or inform us if your dancer has a medical issue or condition that prohibits them from participating in class.  We need to receive a call from a parent in regards to any medical excuse or it is recorded as an un-excused absence. Attendance reports will be presented to parents by request. Un-Excused Absences: *No call from parent or dancer prior to dance class *Missing a make-up session or rehearsal *Friend of dancer telling the instructor that dancer will not be in class *Arriving over 20 minutes late, without prior notice to instructor *Two or more late arrivals without prior notification will result in the next class marked as un-excused.

 

Weather & Safety:  Weather cancellations will be posted on our FB page and at KELO Closeline http://www.kelo.comhttp://www.keloland.com/weather/closeline *There will be two snow days for each class, anything over 2 missed weather days will be made up, if possible and to the best of our ability. If a make-up is scheduled it is mandatory that all dancers attend, unless they have spoken to their instructor.  Safety: All dancers are required to wait inside the studio until they are picked up from class. If you wish for you dancer to wait for you outside, please let the instructor know. 

 

Courteous, Respectful & Kind: All dancers are expected to be well behaved, courteous and respectful to their instructors, fellow dancers, staff and others. Disrespectful, mean or uncooperative behavior or attitude will not be accepted from anyone. Any dancer or parent displaying any of these behaviors will be asked to sit out during class or leave the studio; if the behavior continues the student may be asked to leave the studio and to consider whether they wish to continue with B2B Dance Performance.
