The Dance Works

Please note the following guidelines regarding all classes:

1.      We request that students carefully observe our dress code.

2.      Any student arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted to class.  For your safety and to receive full benefit from your class, please arrange for a make-up class if you expect to be very late. 

3.      All students are encouraged not to leave the room once class has begun. Please allow for appropriate restroom use prior to class.  Very young children will be treated sensitively as the need arises. Preschool children may need a parent’s attention from time to time for various reasons including bathroom or behavior issues. Please do not leave the waiting room when very young children are in class without informing the office or having another parent responsible during your absence. We make every effort to have all children feel safe and cared for in a loving and inspiring learning environment.

5.      School age children and teens: please practice respect.  Students are not to be socializing in a disruptive manner during the class with other students.  Please come early or stay late to enjoy friends in the waiting area.  Please honour your teacher and fellow students by giving full attention and co-operation.  You will be advised if we feel any student is not well adjusted to the classroom environment for any reason over time.

6.    During class if a student complains of being ill, or sustains an injury and cannot participate, the instructor will send them to the office were the parents will be     notified if not on the premises.

7.    Only students with a pre-existing sickness/injury are allowed to observe class.  The parents must notify the office if a student is to observe class.

8.    Out of town guests may request to visit at any time throughout the year.  No one else is allowed to sit and watch during regular class time except the Babies and at viewing times set aside each term.


Dance class is education and fun, however, an important part of class work is developing an attitude of discipline and respect for teachers and fellow students. We trust that following our classroom etiquette will provide an environment whereby classes at The Dance Works will be a pleasure for all concerned.
