Studio Policies
ILLNESS OR MISSED LESSONS:There are no refunds or credits for lessons missed. If you know in advance that you will be missing a lesson for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible.
LESSONS CANCELLED BY US:
If the Canby Schools are closed due to bad weather, it is possible that we might also be closed. If the weather has improved by the afternoon, classes will be held as usual.
If you are in doubt, please check the home page of our web site www.allegrodancer.com or call 503-263-8568 after 1:00 for a final decision. Any cancelled lessons will be made up prior to the recital.
WAITING & DRESSING AREA:
Because we do not have a large waiting area available or a dressing room, we would like to ask that the parents drop their children off dressed and ready to dance at the beginning of class on time.
PARENT OBSERVATION:
It is distracting to the dancers to have parents watching and talking during class. Therefore, we ask that parents drop off their dancer at the beginning of class and come back 10 minutes early to watch and pick them up at the end of each class. This is especially important with young dancers.
RECITAL COSTUME FEE:
We will be ordering recital costumes from catalogs again this year. We will send home costume fees the first of October and will collect by November 1, 2010. They run $50 - $75 per costume.
WATER & RESTROOM VISITS:
Allegro recognizes that water intake is a crucial element to athletic activity and we encourage students to make sure they are drinking a sufficient amount. However, visits to the restroom during class disrupt the class and cause the student to miss valuable instruction time. Therefore, we ask that there are no water breaks taken during class and that students drink water after class. Water bottles are allowed but must be kept with the student’s possessions and away from the barres and dance floor.
Please have your young dancer use the restroom before they come to class.
BEHAVIOR/TALKING:
Students are expected to treat Allegro staff with respect and a positive attitude. There is to be no talking during class. Excessive talking is distracting and disrespectful to teachers and classmates.
STUDIO ETIQUETTE:
Food, gum, and drinks are not allowed in any of the studios. Students are responsible for the disposal of their garbage. Barres are not to be hung or sat on as they might break or cause injury. Mirrors are breakable and easily smudged; they are not to be touched. Students should not sit down to “rest” during dance classes. This causes the muscles to cool down and may result in injury by resuming exercise when cold.
LOST & FOUND:
Items left in the studios will be collected at the end of the day and placed in the lost and found bins. Please check these often. We encourage all students to label their shoes, tights, etc., to insure that the proper items are recovered.
COMMUNICATION:
Please read the bulletin boards in the waiting area carefully. This is an important resource for students and parents. Please check our website www.allegrodancer.com often for newsletters, time changes, rehearsals and important notices.
