New Studio Policies •Children ages 8 and under may not be left unattended at the studio, unless they are in class with an instructor. If a dancer, 8 years or younger has breaks in between classes, a parent or guardian must be present and within view of the child. Any child, age 6 and under, may not be left unattended at the studio, at any time, regardless of whether or not they are in class. If a student is left unattended, we will first call the parent or guardian. If the parent or guardian is not reachable, we will move to the emergency contact. •There is absolutely no use of any studios that are vacant. Studio staff will close the doors and shut off the lights when a studio is not in use. Dancers are not permitted to enter these rooms.
