Important Classroom Etiquette
Late arrival is distracting to both the instructor and the students. Please be prompt. If you are late you might be kindly asked to observe class.
Please do not talk in class.
Be Respectful to your fellow students & instructor.
Before entering the building please silence all cell phones and other electronic devices.
No gum, food or drinks are allowed in the studios (with the exception of water in a sealed container).
In addition to the guidelines, a lot of common sense comes into play with classroom etiquette. The dance studio is not a time for socializing, please don't talk, joke, or whisper with classmates. Take pride in your school, your teacher, your classmates and yourself, and to remember that the art of dance demands discipline and self-control.
Please focus on the instructor when they are speaking, listening carefully is a critical part of the learning experience. Remember all corrections apply to all students. Students should not correct each other. At the end of class, it is appropriate to thank your instructor, remember respect goes a long way. Parents are kindly asked not to disrupt class or give corrections.
Remember, all of this is put in place so that you and your fellow students become better dancers our Academy maintains its history of being a respected and professional dance studio.
Happy Dancing!
