Class Policies

 

  •  All students are asked to arrive on time for class, ready to dance & with a positive attitude.

  • Teachers are expected to provide a safe, respectful and loving environment for all dancers to feel comfortable to be themselves,
    learn and grow as an individual.

  • Teachers are expected to provide constructive feedback to dancers and maintain focused dancers.

  • Students are required to follow the dress code for their classes, as they have been made for safety & proper technique.

  • Bullying of fellow dancers will NOT be permitted and child will be asked to step out of class and/or take a break.

  • If bullying continues past two occasions child may be asked to leave the studio as a means to protect the rest of the class.

  • We ask that parents stay in the waiting area and not enter the dancing area, keeping noise levels to a minimum to provide the dancers and teachers with a focused class.

  • During Mommy & Me classes, guardians are asked to enjoy the class with their little, at whatever capacity they are comfortable at.

  • During our littles first years being in a group setting in an interactive class activity we understand how important the feeling of security, safety, and comfort is for the child and the parents. We recommend hanging out while your little is in class in case they may need to step out for a hug break or to just be reassured during their first class☺.

  • Going on pointe will never be made mandatory, and will never be grouped by level (meaning at no point will owner or any instructor place an entire class en pointe based on the age of students or amount of years that they have been dancing). While getting pointe shoes is extremely exciting and a perfect goal for any young dancer beginning to care more about their dancing, it is commonly looked past that putting students on pointe before they are READY can be extremely dangerous for the safety of the child & their bone development. If your child is becoming focused and would like to pursue more serious dancing, they may come to any instructor and we can discuss , or an instructor will address to parent & child the idea of working towards pointe and approve that process.

  • At TFDS we will not permit parents or guardians to speak negatively about any child or member of TFDS. We encourage positive discussion about each other and praise for dancers milestones, achievements, hard work and dedication.

  • Remember that everything we do is for the kids, and the love of dance!
