Dancer Dress Code & Our Studio Policy
We ask that all dancers and parents follow this guideline for the safety of all our families.
DRESS CODE
Dance Wear : We are partnered with Nimbly to provide you with quality dance attire only (see footwear below) in colors chosen specifically for each class level to create a uniform look in class. Information can be found in your DSP Parent Portal.
Foot Wear : We have also partnered with Stage Dance Essentials, a LOCAL business, to provide our dancers with quality Capezio footwear, tights, and undergarments! For information and fittings please see Miss Brooke in the studio.
School clothes, jeans, skirts, and baggy shirts are NOT permitted in the classroom. Wrap sweaters can be worn during the colder months. These can be found in Nimbly.
Street shoes are NOT allowed on the studio floors. Parents please take your shoes off before escorting your dancer to the restroom.

OUR STUDIO STANDARD POLICY
Absenteeism :
In case your child is absence due to illness, students will have the option to participate in another class at his/her level, with the teachers consent. This is upon request ONLY. Please notify us preferably by email if they will be absent.
Cancellation :
In the event that there are ANY kind of weather advisories issued, please check our website, our Instagram or Facebook pages, and/or WGAL list of closings. While we do our best to stay open, your family's safety is extremely important to us. If our endeavor to contact you fails, we will not be responsible. Students are expected to attend any rescheduled or makeup classes.
Viewing :
Parents are welcome! Please remain in the designated waiting area of your child's class. Please Note : Studio B does not have a waiting area. So, we ask parents to please drop off and then pick up your dancer at the end of class. We appreciate a general respect at all times for the studio, the teachers, and all the classes in session. If you need to bring siblings it is your responsibility to entertain them.
Please do not leave children unattended in the restroom or anywhere in the studio. Parents are financially responisble for any damage their child may cause.
