PRETTY THINGS DANCE STUDIO
RULES & POLICY’S

To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and professional environment, we kindly ask all students, parents, and guardians to adhere to the following studio rules and policies.

​

General Studio Etiquette

​

 

  • Treat the studio, equipment, and facilities with care. Food, drinks (except water), and gum are not allowed in the dance area.

  • Arrive 5 minutes before class to allow time to prepare. Late arrivals disrupt the flow of the class.

  • Be kind and courteous to instructors, staff, and fellow students. Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.

  • Follow the specific attire requirements for each class. Hair must be neatly tied back and uniforms must be worn.

​​

Attendance and Make-Up Classes​

  • Consistent attendance is essential for progression. Notify the studio in advance if a class will be missed.

  • Missed classes can be made up within the same term only once, subject to availability and instructor approval.

​​

Safety and Health​

  • Students must notify the instructor of any injuries or medical conditions before class. Sick students should stay home to prevent the spread of illness.

  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Only water is allowed in the studio.

​​

Parent/Guardian Responsibilities​

  • Ensure your child is dropped off early before class and picked up promptly afterward. The studio is not responsible for supervising students outside of class time.

  • Parents are welcome to observe classes during designated observation days. For regular classes, please wait in the designated area to minimize distractions. Under certain circumstances alternate accommodations will be made to Parents of 2 and 3 year old according to how the child is coping.

  • Please do not hold the Teachers up chatting during Class time, our time is limited for our instructors and every moment that we can spend with your little ones is very valuable. Ensure that if you need to talk to a teacher, you do it prior to classes beginning or feel free to contact the Studio to arrange a time to talk or email pt.dancestudio@gmail.com

  • For safety reasons, students should not wear jewelry during class (e.g., earrings, necklaces, bracelets).

  • Maintenance: Please wash uniforms in a underwear bag to ensure the logos remain tidy. Uniforms and shoes should be clean and well-maintained, reflecting respect for the studio and fellow dancers.
