Dream Dance Academy
Policies & Tuition
Dance class is educational and fun, however, an important part of class work is developing an attitude of discipline and respect for teachers and fellow dancers. We trust that following our classroom etiquette will provide an environment whereby classes at Dream Dance Academy will be a pleasure for all concerned.
​
Once classes begin, you will receive information about participation in our annual recital.
​
We request that you arrive at the studio with adequate time to prepare for class, parking, changing, restroom, etc. Parents, for your children’s safety, please be available in the waiting room to receive students when dismissed from class. Please call whenever delayed for class start time or pickup.
​
Every family enrolled will receive an email from dreamdanceacad@gmail.com. If not, please check your spam or email us at dreamdanceacad@gmail.com as soon as possible. Email is the most efficient way to get updates out to the entire studio and we need everyone on board.
​
Please note that the lobby area is made available for the convenience of our dancers and their families. The lobby area is for waiting, reading, conversation and homework. We ask that you please respect the activities of others and the classes in session. Your courtesy will be greatly appreciated. ​
​​
​Please note the following guidelines regarding all classes:
​
1. We request that students carefully observe our dress code (posted on our website).
2. Hair must be pulled back for all classes.
3. Any student arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted to class. This is for safety and to receive full benefits of class.
4. All students are encouraged not to leave the room once class has begun. Please allow for appropriate restroom use prior to class. Very young children will be treated sensitively as the need arises. Preschool children may need a parent’s attention from time to time for various reasons including bathroom or behavior issues. Please do not leave the waiting room when very young children are in class without informing the office or having another parent responsible during your absence. We make every effort to have all children feel safe and cared for in a loving and inspiring learning environment.
5. School age children and teens: please practice respect. Students are not to be socializing in a disruptive manner during the class with other students. Please come early or stay late to enjoy friends in the waiting area. Please respect your teacher and fellow students by giving full attention and cooperation. You will be advised if we feel any student is not well adjusted to the classroom environment for any reason.
6. During class, if a student complains of being ill, or sustains an injury and cannot participate, the parents will be notified.
7. Only students with a pre-existing sickness/injury are allowed to observe class. The parents must notify the instructor if a student is to observe class.
8. Absolutely NO cell phones and/or smart watches, etc that can receive/send calls and text messages in class.
9. No gum chewing allowed in class.
10. All dancers take inherent risks. These include, but are not limited to sprains, bruises, pulled muscles and broken bones. Participation in classes and events indicates the acceptance of such risks by dancers. Therefore, DDA or any of its officers, staff or instructors will not be held responsible for injuries, illnesses, or damages sustained while participating in any activity related to DDA.
