Leotards and Tights for all Early Childhood dancers should be pink with European pink tights (ballet) and/or black leotard with black tights (tap). Main Intensive dancers should wear black leotards with European pink tights (ballet), tan or black tights (jazz or tap), and/or shorts or black convertible or footless tights (modern).

 Shoes, for all ballet classes, should have the proper elastics and/or ribbons (if applicable) properly sewn. Please allow us to inspect the fit of ballet and pointe shoes before they are sewn or worn. Tap shoes for Early Childhood dancers should be black flats.

 Students are encouraged to attend classes on a regular basis. Students under the age of 18, without prior parental permission, may not leave the studios without a parent or guardian. All students should be picked up in a timely fashion, within 10 minutes of the end of class. Faculty and staff will not leave children unattended at the studio waiting to be picked up. No refunds are given for missed classes, but make-up classes are available upon request. Closer to the Spring Performance, make-up classes will become less frequent. |

| Students should show respect for the property of others and for the facilities: leave others belongings alone; help keep the studio building and grounds clean and neat by putting waste pater, etc. in the trash cans. No food or drink allowed in the studio, costume shop or administrative area. WATER may be brought into the studio in plastic bottles/empty bottles must be removed. All students must put their belongings in the places provided for them. The Center for Dance Education is not responsible for lost or stolen items. |

| Students who wish to drop or add a class after registration should do so by filling out a Drop/Add form. These forms can be found at each locations tuition box and can be returned to these boxes as well. Please note, if no form is filled out your monthly/quarterly invoice will not show the effective change. |

 Students who are required to take a leave of absence due to either injury or long-term illness should fill out a Drop/Add form. These forms can be found at each locations tuition box and can be returned to these boxes as well. It is very important these forms be filled as soon as or before the absence is taken. We would like to adjust your monthly/quarterly invoice for the period of inactivity. Please note, a long-term illness is considered any illness where the student is unable to attend class for four weeks or longer and has been diagnosed by a doctor. A copy of the doctors’ note should be included when filling the Drop/Add form. |

| If bad weather forces either the Richland District One or the Lexington District One to close, our respective studio will be closed as well. An email will be sent in the event that classes are canceled due to inclement weather. |
