the second absence must be made up. To many missed classes affect
the other students in the class as well as choreography. You will
need to email Tricia for a makeup time if needed. If you have
questions in regard to how many classes you have missed, please
Tricia.
If you need to miss a class for any reason, we ask that you
please email us or call and leave a message so that we can prepare
properly. We reserve the right to dismiss a student from the studio
if attendance becomes a problem except in the case of an extended
illness.
Missed classes will not be refunded.
All classes may be cancelled once per semester by the instructor
without a makeup if a substitute teacher is not available to take
that class. Anything beyond that will be made up.

Studio Conduct
All students should be polite, courteous and encouraging to all
dancers at all levels as well as their instructors. Students may be
asked to leave the studio if conduct is deemed unacceptable.
Food and drink are NOT permitted in any carpeted areas of the
studio. All food and drink should be left in the back lobby area.
If you purchase anything from the vending machine, please bring it
to this designated area. There will be a bar attached to the wall
shortly so that all dancers have a place to eat as well as to keep
the studio neat and clean.
NO GUM IN THE STUDIO. Please dispose of your gum before entering the
studio. This is also for safety reasons.
Please do not wait outside for your ride to pick you up. For
your safety, please stay in the lobby of the studio . Please let
a teacher know when you are leaving. If no one is up front, please open the dance room door and announce
who is there to pick you up so Tricia will know.
Students may be dropped off early at any time as long as they do
not disrupt any classes. Please make sure that Tricia knows that
you will be arriving early so she can let the other instructors as
well.
Students may stay as late as needed provided it is not past the
last class time of the day. For every five minutes a student has to
stay after classes are over for the evening (waiting for a ride), a
$5.00 fee will be charged. Please do not assume that privates are
always going on late in the evenings.
Students should be prompt to their classes. Any student more
than 10 minutes late may not attend class. They may watch if they
choose, but this will still count as an absence. This is for the
safety of the dancer as well as respect for classmates and the
instructor. No exceptions will be made.
Students may not attend another dance school while they are
attending classes at Dance Xpress. Students should be respectful to
their teacher and classmates by studying at one studio by
recognizing that many studios have different teaching styles. We
reserve the right to ask any student to leave the studio if they are
attending another dance school.
The same policy applies to choreography. Dance Xpress
choreography may not be cleaned by another instructor without the
permission of the Tricia. Students may not ask other
choreographers to choreograph for them outside the studio.
Parents should contact Tricia directly regarding any questions or
problems that present themselves. All instructors at Dance Xpress
have been advised to interrupt Tricia's classes if they are
confronted for any reason. Meetings should not be held without
Tricia present. This insures that there are no misunderstandings
between director, teachers, parents and the students.
Holidays
Dance Xpress Follows the CFBISD calendar. If you have questions
about studio closings for holidays, please visit our Holiday page on
the website.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
A conference may be scheduled at any time based on the parents
and the teachers schedules. If you have any questions or concerns
at any time, please email Tricia to set up an appointment. Lost and Found
Dance Xpress does not keep all items in its Lost and Found for extended
periods of time. If the items are unclaimed, they will be donated to an
organization who can use them. Please make sure that all items have your
name listed in them.
Dance Xpress is not responsible for any lost of stolen items. |
