All dance students are dismissed at the studio door and are not allowed to find their parents in the hallway and parking lot. Please be at the door when your student(s) class ends so he/she is given directly to you.

Attending as many classes as possible is very important but does not guarantee they will be ready. Outside of normal bathroom breaks or important needs staying in class is very important. Please encourage your children to stay in class so they can learn.
