OUR POLICIES
Creating strong dancers and confident people starts in the classroom.
All dancers must be respectful to teachers, parents, fellow dancers and their studio home. Creating a positive environment is essential to the growth of young artists. Dancers must be properly dressed, on time for class and have a good work ethic.
