TERM FEES POLICY
Term fees: Term fees are sent out within the 2nd week of classes and will have the due date on the bottom. If you have not received yours within that first week please email us as we have had a few go missing. Students who have missed classes or would like to leave during the middle of the term will not be reimbursed for the remainder of the term.
DRESS CODE
Dancers are to wear ALL BLACK to class leggings, bike shorts or shorts, t-shirt, singlet or long sleeve (whatever is comfortable and moveable to dance in). You may wear any of the company merchandise of any colour to class.
**School uniforms and school sports uniforms MUST NOT be worn during your dance lesson.
Dancers must wear hair pulled back out of their face and no long necklaces or earrings, & no gum (this is a safety hazard).

Jazz - black jazz shoes
Hip Hop - white sneakers
Contemporary - half soles or barefoot
Acro - barefoot
We suggest using www.thedancerswardrobe.co.nz or www.puredance.co.nz for all dancewear or TradeMe/Facebook Marketplace as a second hand option. We will have a box at the studio for donated/used dancewear available for purchase.
OBSERVATION AND PICK-UP
Sophie Jean Dance Company operates on a drop-off and pick-up policy for students of age 4-12. Students aged 4-6 can be observed by their parent(s) or guardian if necessary but we ask if you could stay in the office area as the lounge area is for the next class to wait. This is also to allow the child to focus on the dance class with no distractions. If a parent needs to be in the room with his/her child he/she has to refrain from talking during the class. We do not allow any food or drink in the studio. Only water is allowed. If you are late to pick up your child, we will wait until your arrival.
