Thanks for your interest in Michelle’s Studio of Dance. We hope to develop in you a love and appreciation for dancing that will last a lifetime. Learning of any kind requires a certain amount of discipline and dedication. Studying dance both develops and requires these important attributes. These rules are simple but they must be followed in order to ensure a successful course of study and long lasting relationship with this studio. RECITAL INFORMATION
The recital is held in May at a local high school Auditorium. Dress Rehearsal is held the week of the recital. Any student NOT planning to be in the recital must let us know by December 1st. All Creative Movement thru 6th grade students will be in only one recital, with the exception of Classical Ballet and Dance Company. ATTENDANCE / MAKE-UP CLASSES
• A total effort must be made to attend every class. Dance is a group effort and your absence affects everyone.
• You are required to call the studio in case of absence due to sickness or family vacation. You will be eligible to make-up the missed the time only if you choose to do so.
• Tuition payments must be paid up to date to qualify for make-up lessons.
• You must make-up a class within a 1 month period from your absence, or you make-up time will be forfeited.

If school is cancelled due to inclement weather studio classes will be cancelled for the entire day. Saturday classes should call the studio 1-hour prior to class time. SCHEDULE CHANGES
• Class schedules are subject to change for holidays. There are no regularly scheduled classes during school vacations.
• A class schedule is available and should be picked up in the office. CLASS ATTIRE / DANCEWEAR
• The proper and correct dance shoes must be worn in class. Dancing in bare feet or inappropriate shoes may result in injury and will not lead to optimum technical development.
• All students are required to wear proper dance clothes at all times. Hair should be tied back.
• Dance shoes and tights may be purchased at the studio. VISITORS
• Parents and visitors are invited to watch class the first four months through the observation window, until we begin learning our routines. This way, students will give full attention in class without any distractions. No visitors will be allowed in class at any time. Classes can be viewed on our TVs after January on the 1st class of the month. RECEIVING IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• It is difficult for us to contact every parent personally regarding schedule changes, special events or recital information. However, monthly bulletins will be emailed or available in the office.
