Class Procedures

Please do not drop off your dancer more than five minutes before class.
Dancers should arrive fully dressed in proper class attire, wearing street shoes and bringing dance shoes in a dance bag.
Please send a labeled water bottle with your dancer.
Before entering the classroom, dancers will change into their dance shoes.
Before leaving the studio, dancers should change back into their street shoes. Dance shoes are for studio use only and should never be worn outdoors.

CLOSED-CURTAIN CLASSES

All classes are closed curtain, meaning only teachers, assistants, and students are permitted in the classroom. This helps minimize distractions and creates the best learning environment for our dancers.

However, each class is equipped with audio and video surveillance for everyone’s safety.

Studio Etiquette

No food or beverages are permitted in the lobby or studios, with the exception of bottled water.
If waiting in the lobby, please keep noise levels low to avoid disrupting classes.
Dancers may not be left unattended.
Please pick up your dancer within five minutes of class ending.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures

To help traffic flow smoothly and ensure everyone’s safety, please do not leave your vehicle if you are utilizing the drive-through drop-off/pick-up line.

If you need to walk your dancer inside, please park in a designated parking space before entering the building.

Music

All classes will be conducted to Christian music. Additionally, classical music is used for Ballet classes and some age-appropriate children’s music for our younger students. Much of our music will reflect our annual theme.

Dress Code

All required class attire must be purchased through the following link: www.shopnimbly.com/sofdance. Items ordered from Nimbly will ship directly to your home for added convenience.

For additional dress code information/details and how to order, click here.

It is expected that class dress codes are followed. If a student arrives for class out of dress code more than twice, they may be asked to observe class only and may not be able to participate.

Attendance

Attendance is taken at every class. Consistent attendance is essential for student progress and overall class success. Please make every effort to have your child attend each class unless they are ill.

RECITAL SEASON ATTENDANCE

Attendance becomes especially important after Christmas.

Students who miss more than three classes during recital season (January–May) may not be eligible to participate in the recital.

When registering for spring sports and activities, please carefully consider the attendance expectations associated with recital preparation.

Please also avoid tardiness. The beginning of class includes important warm-up exercises and stretching that help prevent injury.

Insurance

It is required that all dance students be covered by their family insurance policies, and that if an injury occurs, the student’s policy is the only source of reimbursement.

Keeping Parents Informed

Studio communication is primarily electronic. Please ensure we always have a current email address on file.

We also encourage families to receive text message updates via Remind:

Text @sofdance to 81010

You can also stay connected by following us on Facebook and Instagram.

Studio Policy

Steps of Faith Dance Studio reserves the right to modify policies at any time.

Steps of Faith Dance Studio also reserves the right to terminate a student’s enrollment when necessary. This may occur when a family is unwilling to support or uphold the studio’s Christian standards of conduct, character, and behavior.
