DANCE DYNAMIC STUDIOS- RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. A uniform must be worn for all classes (teachers will direct you as to what your child needs regarding their class uniforms as they vary).
2. All hair must be tied back in a ballet bun for ballet class and a neat ponytail or ballet bun for other classes. NO jewellery is to be worn- except plain earrings.
3. Punctuality is essential; students must be dressed and ready at times allocated to start class.
4. No responsibility will be taken for students outside of their class times. Please ensure students are collected promptly after their set class. Students are to remain within the dance school building when waiting for parents to collect them. Before and after class, students are expected to be supervised by their parents. Teacher supervision extends only to students in class. This now includes your child walking to nearby shops, under no circumstances will any student under the age of 14 be allowed to leave the waiting room without an adult. Students over the age of 14 will have to have permission off their parents to walk to nearby shops, once again it is not admin/teachers responsibility if you allow your child over 14 to leave. (WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PARENTS TO INFORM TEACHERS/ADMIN IF YOUR CHILD IS/ISN’T ALLOWED TO LEAVE)
5. Dance Fees are term payable. When you receive your first invoice for the year- your first term will include an annual $45 admin/insurance fee per child (this will cover them for the year). We can arrange weekly/fortnightly payment plans if needed, please speak to Miss Chon to arrange this so it can be applied to your account. If there has been no communication or payment made the due date of each term you will receive a $10 late fee. It is your responsibility to ensure you receive your invoice via email (let admin know ASAP if you haven’t receive your email within Week 1 of each term).
6. It is understood and agreed that all students take classes at their own risk and no liability under any circumstances shall be undertaken by Dance Dynamic Studios for injury or loss of personal belongings.
7. In the event of a medical emergency, and where a parent cannot be contacted, the guardian authorises Dance Dynamic Studios to seek medical advice/help for the child.
8. Students/Parents or guardians should inform the Teacher of ANY SPECIAL HEALTH/NEEDS or EXISITING INJURIES before participating in a class.
9. Students are to bring a water bottle to each class, particularly in warmer months. No chewing gum or food is permitted in the studios. We do ask all students to bring their dance bags into each class with them, this will help free up space in the waiting area and not have mix-ups with personal belongings.
10. All shoes and uniforms should be clearly labelled with the Students’ name. Dance Dynamic Studios takes no responsibility for personal items left at the studio. A ‘lost property’ box is located in our waiting room.
11. By enrolling at Dance Dynamic Studios you accept that any photographs or video recordings taken in the course of classes or performances may be used for publicity purposes including the Dance Dynamic Studios website. Please inform teachers immediately if you do NOT wish to have your child in photos/videos.
12. Dance Dynamic Studios will NOT tolerate any form of bullying, slander or negative behaviour from students or family members. We pride our school on promoting a positive, encouraging environment. We reserve the right to ask those acting in such a manner to leave.
13. Students and parents are NOT permitted to use the kitchen facilities. However, if your child has a meal that needs heating up they can get on of our teachers to do so for them.
14. In the event of Miss Chon not being well enough to teach- Miss Lucinda (Chontelle's Mother) a former dancer/teacher will step in and help.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to arrange a suitable time with any of our teachers outside of class times (this includes between classes). Dance Dynamic Studios is committed to providing excellent dance education in a friendly, family oriented environment. Our Rules and Regulations are to ensure all dancers get the education they deserve. Parent/guardians and Students are asked to not disturb classrooms whilst classes are on. If you need to talk to one of our teachers- please organise a time with Miss Chon.
15. Finally, movement, ballet and other dance genres take repetition in watching others and a lot of doing. It is not something that can be forced or accomplished with a few classes. It takes years of practise, patience, time, consistency and appreciation. Remember, fun and appreciation of movement have to always come first or the rest is never understood or accomplished.
