Rules & Regulations
Rules
Students are expected to conform to the school rules and to maintain the standards of their class level. It is important that all students attend classes on a regular basis. In order to ensure a positive school ethos, students are expected to be courteous to their teachers and fellow dancers. Undisciplined, disruptive or discourteous behaviour will not be tolerated in the classroom or changing rooms at any time. Disciplinary action will be taken with regard to these students.
All classes begin promptly. Students are expected to be dressed, with a neat bun for classical dancers, and ready to start class on time. Latecomers not only disturb the class, but subject themselves to injury due to insufficient warm-up. Students who are more than ten minutes late may be refused entry.
We recommend that all clothing and shoes be clearly labelled. The studio is not responsible for lost items.
