student expectations

BE PUNCTUAL

• Arriving on time is incredibly important for your learning experience and for the experience of others.
• Late arrival can sometimes be unavoidable, however it does cause disruption to the class, can be unsettling to the arriving dancer and means you miss out on the very important process of warm up.
• We request that students arrive 5 minutes prior to their class start time and that collection of students at the conclusion of class is prompt.

BE PREPARED

• Always bring a water bottle - hydration throughout class at all times of the year is very important
• (Soft drink/juice/slushies etc are not permitted in the studio).
• Always bring all your shoes and any class specific requirements
• Ensure you have fueled your body adequately prior to class with healthy sustaining food 
  
• Always bring loads of hard-working, happy energy into the studio space so you can get the best out of your class

PERSONAL HYGIENE

• Good personal hygiene is essential for the health, safety and comfort of all students and teachers.
  
• Please attend all classes with clean feet (if not wearing shoes) and ensure deodorant is worn

GENERAL ETIQUETTE

• Please show respect for your own learning and others learning (Dance is a team sport)
• Always be kind to yourself and others
• Our studio is a safe place to learn, explore and create and genuine support of one another is expected at all times.
