PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! YOU & YOUR DANCER ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADHERING TO ALL OF MDC’S POLICIES!
Classroom Policies
Instructors reserve the right to keep studio doors closed if the noise and/or activity in the waiting room are causing a distraction.
A dancer who arrives more than 10 minutes late may not be permitted to participate in class. Warming up is crucial to a dancer’s safety.
Dancers are expected to respect their instructors at all times. Poor behavior disrupts class and the dancer may be asked to sit out or leave class.
NO GUM, FOOD OR BEVERAGES are allowed in the studios. Students should bring a water bottle or plastic cup inside of dance bag.
Adherence to the Dress Code is required. Students may not be allowed to participate in class if they are not properly attired.
Large jewelry is not permitted in class.
Please do not address your dancer during class. In an emergency, ask the instructor’s permission to interrupt class.
If you have a concern about your child’s instruction, please see Jessica, not the instructor, to discuss it.
Waiting Room Policies
The studio doors are kept closed to avoid classroom disruption! Please KNOCK before opening door!
Parents must supervise and control young children in the waiting room. For your children’s safety, empty studios MAY NOT be used as playgrounds! Please respect our facility, floors and equipment.
MDC provides books, crayons, etc. as a courtesy. Please instruct children to pick up after themselves in the waiting room!
To avoid classroom disruption, please keep the waiting room quiet.
Please do not dispose of dirty diapers at the studio.
Attendance Policies
Attendance in class is to be a priority. Remember, dancing is a “team” sport. If your child is not progressing with his or her classmates, it disrupts the advancement of the entire class.
Students planning to perform in the recital are required to attend every class in May and June.
ALL ABSENCES IN MAY AND JUNE MUST BE EXCUSED BEFOREHAND.
Attendance during recital week is MANDATORY.
General Policies
MDC is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Smoking is not prohibited at MDC. This includes outside of open windows.
Students are placed in classes according to ability. MDC reserves the right to deny admittance to a class that is an inappropriate level for a dancer.
Instructors have precious few minutes between classes. If you have an issue you would like to discuss, please make an appointment to speak to Jessica.
Please let MDC know if someone other than a parent will be picking up your child.
All dancers must wait for their ride INSIDE the building.
Please LABEL all shoes, skirts, etc.
Please have young dancers use the restroom BEFORE class. Using the restroom during class can be “contagious”!
Class cancellations due to weather will be added to our voicemail message after 2:00 pm on that day. (One hour prior to class for morning classes.) We DO NOT follow a particular school system’s cancellations. You may not receive a phone call for a cancelled class.
