Class Policies

  • NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON, WHATSOEVER. Makeup classes are always an available option and it is up to that family to let the studio know when they will be making their missed classes up & if they are making them up that month or not. Missed class makeups do not roll over to the next month.

  • You must pay tuition to attend class!

  • Competition team members are required to use an unlimited class card during competition season, and take all individually recommended classes, as well as attend ALL rehearsals for the season. THREE TOTAL missed rehearsals from beginning of season until the end of season (last competition of the season is usually in May/July

  •  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.

  • PARENTS are expected to NOT enter the classroom PLEASE!! Unless otherwise asked to. Please either drop off your student and come back, OR wait in the lobby patiently :) There is a livestream of the classroom on the TV of the lobby and a window into the classroom you may watch from.

  • Teachers will handle any and all things that go on in the classroom! The flow of the class goes MUCH easier when the student trusts their instructor, and knows the instructor is in charge while they are at the studio ;)

  • 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. Depending on the child, it may be best to stick around for their first class, or if they are very dependent we recommend dropping off your student off and picking them back up after 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!
