Attendance and Behavior

Discipline is an integral part of dance training. Since the first 15 minutes of class are crucial to properly warm the muscles, all students are required to be on time. Anyone arriving 15 minutes after class begins without proper advance notification will not be allowed to participate but may observe the class. In the event of an absence due to illness or family emergency, please notify the office so that the instructor may be informed. Regular attendance of classes is essential in order to advance through the levels of study. It is essential that all students conduct themselves in an appropriate and respectful manner during class. Disruptive or disrespectful behavior will result in the student being required to sit out or be dismissed from class resulting in parental notification.

Appearance

A neat appearance is an essential part of a dancer’s discipline. Students must wear cover-ups when outside. Ballet students’ hair should be secured off the face and neck in a classic ballet bun. Hair for other classes should be secured off the face and neck in a pony tail style. No additional garments should be worn during class unless requested by the instructor.

Class Uniform

All Students are required to purchase their Class Uniform for the GBTique. Please order early to assure arrival by start of fall classes.
