Valuables should not be left unattended in the dressing rooms, or the studio. We are not responsible for any valuables left behind. If it is important to you leave it at home or with your parent/s.

Students are expected to attend every class in the level they are assigned and to arrive on time. Progress in class is dependent upon regular and consistent participation.

Make-Up classes for missed classes are encouraged! Any class can be made up any time during the current session in a similar type of class at the missed class level or below. Please see the Artistic Director to request a make-up slip. Make-up slips will only be issued according to attendance records for the current session. Any classes not made up during the session are forfeit.
Safety and Security
The safety and security of your children are of the utmost importance to us. For this reason we ask that you do not leave your children unsupervised for periods of time before or after class, and that your children understand where and by whom they will be picked up. Dancing in the Streets is not responsible for students outside of class time. We request parents of 3, 4, and 5 year-old students make themselves available during class in the reception area. No food or drink other than water is allowed in the building!
