Armstrong School of Dance
Studio Courtesy
Please be aware and understand that dancing while fun and upbeat, is generally a calm and gentle recreational activity. And while students do participate within a class as a whole, students are expected to maintain their composure especially when it comes to putting ones hands on someone else. We will not allow rough housing, climbing on barres, running, etc. within the studio. Our floors are not suitable for that type of play. If you child is unable to abide by the rules of the studio and participate in a fashion that is appropriate, they will be asked to leave. We will not allow any one student to endanger the happiness or health of another student or class.
Basic to our continued growth and successful operation are the general Policies and Practices. We urge you to continue your suggestions and recommendations for further improvements. The teamwork we build between teachers, dancers, and parents is necessary not only to become an accomplished dancer but also to foster the growth of self-esteem and confidence in our young ladies. Please become thoroughly familiar with this information, since it will directly affect your dancer and their future at Armstrong School of Dance. Thank you for helping us stay one step ahead.
Sincerely, Studio Staff
