ARRIVAL & ATTENDANCE -
Please arrange for students to arrive 5-15
minutes before class already dressed. A student arriving late seriously
disrupts a class & the student will miss out on a part of the lesson not to
be repeated, including injury preventing warm-ups. Please inform the teacher if
you are going to be even five minutes late. Parents are welcome stay in the
parking lot or leave while students are in class. Students are allowed to wait
in our lobby between classes when they are on the same day.
DSUP DRIVE THRU - The drive
begins on Academy Street by the white house and Exits on Lafayette Street. There will be supervision for students under
the age of 10 for up to 15 minutes before and after class.
CLASSES CANCELLED OR MISSED
may be made up during another class time during the week until we begin recital
dances. Classes cancelled or missed while learning recital will not have
make-ups unless instructor deems it necessary. Illness ? If a student is
contagious, miserable, or showing symptoms of COVID or other possible
contagious illnesses, do not bring the student to class. Please inform the teacher before the class
begins of the absence as a courtesy. Injured students should come to class to
observe.
CLASS DROP/WITHDRAW - If a
child is considering dropping, please inform the teacher to discuss the problem
in hopes we can work together for a resolution. To be removed from a class
roster, we require a ?Drop Form? which must be turned into the office. The form
can be downloaded online or picked up in the office. The person listed under
?Billing Name? will be responsible for all costume, recital, tuition, and late
fees charged until the form is turned in. If turned in before the 1st of the
new month, tuition will not be charged for that or future months/weeks of the season.
PICTURES/SOCIAL MEDIA -
DSUP has a Facebook Page, Instagram, and TikTok. Posts sometimes share pictures or video of students
and we always try to tag all parents so you know what's out there and you can
share it also. If you do not wish for your student's picture to be allowed
online please inform us IN WRITING by letter or email prior to the first day in
any class.
LIABILITY/INSURANCE: The
nature of dance/tumble is considered an activity that may expose students to
risk of injury. All students are required to be covered on their own insurance policies.
