Studio Rules:
Hidden Language Dance Company is dedicated to training well-rounded dancers and gymnasts. Our primary goal is for your children to have fun while learning dance technique and strong work ethics. We believe that good dance etiquette is of equal importance to good dancers. We expect all dancers to respect themselves, and show respect to each other, and to all instructors. You will see our instructors enforcing the following rules....
Dance & Studio Etiquette:
- Be prepared for class, have proper dress wear and be on time!
- Hair must be pulled up and out of the face.
- Use the bathroom prior to class.
- NO cell phones during class.
- NO gum.
- Be respectful and kind to instructors and peers.
- Do not talk during class unless you are asking a question.
- Be willing to try new dance material and have positive energy in class. If you must leave early, please notify the instructor prior to class.
- Do NOT have frequent class absences.
- Help keep your studio clean. Throw away your trash.
- NO GOSSIP, OBSCENE LANGUAGE, OR INAPPROPRIATE CONVERSATIONS.
*HLDC will not tolerate bullying, dramatization. HLDC is family oriented and we are here for the love of dance and to have fun!!!
- No drinks allowed in the studio rooms other than water.
- Put name or initials in all dance shoes.
- A $20 recital fee will be added to the last monthly bill to cover expenses for the yearly dance recital.
- Be assured that all teachers at Hidden Language Dance Company are trained and under the instruction of Mrs. Summer as to how and what they teach each class.
- Hidden Language Dance Company will not be responsible for accidents occurring on or around our premises.
Monthly Tuition:
- The annual registration fee of $20 is due at the time of registration.
- Payments are due on or before the first class of each month.
- HLDC payments should be made through Dance Studio Pro. Checks are also accepted.
- I will no longer be accepting payments during class time. If you have a check, please drop it in the payment box in the lobby.
- Students will not be allowed to take classes if their account has been delinquent for more than 60 days.
- Students will not be allowed to participate in recitals if balance on account is not paid.
Attendance Policy:
- As with any program, steady attendance is a requirement for success. Failure to meet such requirements can lead to dismissal from the studio.
- Parents are responsible for communicating absences to the dance studio/instructor.
- Any student who misses more than five classes may be required to forfeit their class space.
- Competition dancers have committed their time, and I expect them to commit to attending classes regularly. More than three classes missed will result in possible removal from the HLDC Competition team/s.
- There are no refunds for missed classes.
Addressing issues:
- Unfortunately, we do make mistakes, no one is perfect. We welcome you, as parents, to bring those to our attention. We do ask if you use descriptions when you address them to us. We ask that any conversations that are sensitive in matter be held while classes are not in session and addressed to the director. If issues concern other parents or children, please do not address the issue at the studio. Please resolve the issue independently or make an appointment with the director to resolve the situation. Angry dialogue, foul language, and physical threats will NOT be tolerated. Parents and/or dancers who display this type of behavior may be asked to no longer participate in classes at HLDC. Please remember that these rules are for the safety and comfort of ALL DANCERS!
For Dancers...:
- Promptness and attendance are really important!
- Dancers need adequate time in order to be physically and mentally prepared for class.
- It is recommended that students arrive early to get warmed up and dress properly for class.
