All students enrolled in the September–June semester participate in our Annual Dance Recital. The recital is an important and rewarding part of the training experience, giving dancers the opportunity to showcase their progress and hard work on stage.
All classes require the appropriate shoe for their assigned style. Proper footwear supports safety, technique, and progression. Sizing may vary by brand. Please contact the studio for assistance.

Studio Expectations
(Ages 13+) As dancers mature, we encourage greater independence, accountability, and personal responsibility. The following guidelines apply to dancers ages 13 and older:
1. Parent Presence
Parents are not permitted in the studio or rehearsal space during class unless specifically invited. This supports focus and independence.
2. Student Communication
Dancers are encouraged to communicate directly with instructors or staff regarding absences, questions, or concerns.
3. Instructor Authority
All artistic, instructional, casting, and placement decisions are made thoughtfully by trained professionals. We ask for trust and respect in these determinations.
4. Student Conduct
Respect between dancers is required at all times. Bullying, exclusion, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
5. Parent Involvement
Parents are asked to allow dancers to navigate peer situations through instructor guidance. Staff will involve parents when appropriate.
6. Accountability
Dancers are responsible for punctuality, proper attire, and full participation in class.
7. Parent Coaching
To maintain clarity and confidence, parents should refrain from coaching or critiquing choreography or instructional decisions outside of class.
8. Respectful Environment
We are committed to maintaining a professional, respectful, and positive studio culture for all families.
9. Communication Channels
All communication with instructors must go through official studio channels. Direct messaging, texting, or social media contact is not permitted unless pre-approved.
10. Final Authority
Studio policies, artistic decisions, and disciplinary actions are made in the best interest of the program and its dancers. Respectful feedback is welcome.
