5. Please have students dressed appropriately for class (class leotard, tight, required shoes). Hair should be pulled back and away from the face in a secure pony tail or ballet bun (ballet class).
6. The parking lot at the Albemarle studio will be crowded next week. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early and be curteous to others.
7. Parents, it is best to get your dancer in class on-time, ready to dance. Students who are late will not get ample time to stretch.
8. The youngest dancers will often have tears or anxiety the first few weeks. This is normal. Our 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! It may take several classes for new students to adjust. If the problem is not improving from week to week, the instructor will speak with you about possible solutions. The best way to ensure success is to assure your child that they are going to have fun.
9.The class assistants will line-up the students in the waiting area 2-3 minutes before class and take them to class together. Parents will not go into the classrooms with the students; However, they are welcome to remain in the waiting area to view students on the monitors or to leave and return when your child's class is over.
10. Please have all dancers use the bathroom before class. Teachers will gladly take them if they do need to go during class, but this can be a disruption.
11. Every student has a folder located in the lobby of the studio. Please remember to check it weekly for important news, reminders or notes from your instructor.
