DCDC rules and procedures for the 2024/25 Season

Please read through this information to familiarize yourself and your dancer with our procedures. Then, please talk with your dancer about our new guidelines and rules.

Tardiness is not tolerated. Being on time is essential both at drop-off and pick-up. Arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled class time.

  • Dancers should be dressed, have their hair done correctly, and be ready for class.
  • Dancers should have a dance bag with everything they need for class: shoes, water, etc.
  • Pick up: 5 minutes before the end of class.
  • If you are late, enter quietly and do not interrupt the class.

In class rules:

  • Students not following the dress code will be asked to exit class and return when dressed appropriately.
  • The student’s hair must be in a slick, proper bun. For older students, there is no excuse for not having a proper hairstyle. Younger students(under 5 – parents please try your best)
  • No talking in class—Students who can not control their talking will be asked to leave, and the studio will notify their parent/guardian.
  • Attendance is imperative. Students who continue to miss class may be asked to withdraw or move down a level.

Cleaning procedures: The studio lobby, classrooms, and cubbies are cleaned weekly. We use a professional-grade sprayer to mist the entire studio. Our cleaning product is a peroxide-based cleaner that kills germs and is safe for our dancers.

The air we breathe in the studio: Our heat and air systems have been upgraded with air filtration systems.

Restrooms: We encourage all students to use the restroom at home before coming to the studio. Students should use the restroom before class and not during class. After using the restroom, students must wash and sanitize their hands before re-entering the classroom.
