General Information & Policies
Please make sure your dancer comes dressed in their dance attire and has used the bathroom before coming. A restroom is available if needed.
The lobby/waiting area will be closed until further notice. Please drop your dance off 5 minutes before class time begins so we can avoid large crowds. You are welcome to drop off your dancer or hang out in the backyard playground during class. Please wait outside the studio door to pick up your dancer. Thank you for your patience with this!
Dancers may bring a labeled water bottle into the studio. No food or gum please.
Dress Code
Leotards, tights, skirts, or tutus any colors are welcome
Leggings/athletic shorts and comfortable shirts are also welcome
Ballet: Pink ballet slippers (boys may wear black)
Jazz: Black jazz shoes (lace or slip on) or black ballet slippers
Tap: Black tap shoes
Lyrical & Contemporary: Barefoot, ballet slippers, or tan jazz shoes are all welcome!
Hair should be put up in a secure ponytail, bun, or braid. Short hair should be secured back from face with a headband or clips.
No dangly jewelry (earrings/necklaces) or play jewelry please. It is very distracting to the young dancer and could be caught in the clothing or scarves during freeze dance at the end of the class.
Please be sure to label all dance shoes and tie and tuck ballet bows into shoes.
Parking
You may use the parking lot on the side of Media Children’s House off of Donnelly Ave (across from Holy Family). The side lot is highly recommended.

We have our own entrance in the back — please do not try to enter the building by the front or side doors.
