Attendance & Conduct
Students must come to class on time and prepared. Regular attendance is imperative to the dancer’s progress.  Be respectful to teachers, parents, staff and especially your classmates. Treat each dancer with support, respect and encouragement. Teachers reserve the right to dismiss any dancer who displays unsatisfactory behavior. If a student is more than 15 minutes late, teachers reserve the right to ask a student to sit and watch class.

Class Placement
Students are placed in class according to their age, ability and experience. One or all may apply when placing the dancers in the appropriate class level.  Rhythm company placement is by audition in June of each year.  Please visit the company tab for more information on our Rhythm Companies.   

Make Up Classes

If classes are missed due to inclement weather or are cancelled by the studio, these classes may be made up on a different day as available on our class listing.  THSD reserves the right to deliver class content via an online system in the event that classes are not able to be conducted live for any reason including, but not limited to: weather, teacher absence, or governmental advisory.

Safer Studio Policy
THSD requires all staff and students to stay home when they are ill.  In order to reduce community spread of Coronavirus, we follow best practices and recommendations from our local health department and industry associations, More Than Just Great Dancing and Youth Protection Advocates in Dance.  THSD understands that unlike older children and adults, young children cannot be expected to maintain social distancing at all times.  Therefore, THSD focuses on a hierarchy of measures beginning with keeping ill people home, followed by frequent hand cleaning and good hygiene practices, amplified cleaning, and curricular and facility adaptations to minimize contact and mingling where possible.  All studio classes are backed up on an online learning platform.  In the event a class is unable to be held at the studio, classes will convert to an online learning platform until in-studio classes can resume. .

Waiting Area / Lobby
Feel free to wait in the studio while your child is in class. All children in the lobby MUST have a parent with them. At times, the lobby area is very full and we WILL NOT be responsible for watching any children.  THANK YOU!!

Parking
Parking is available on Santa Fe and in the rear of the building.  Please refrain from dropping students off in the yellow zone in front of the building.

Lost and Found
All items will be placed in a bin by the front stairs. All items will be taken to Goodwill during Winter break and at the end of the year! Keep track of your things!

Studio Closings
Please listen to radio stations for class cancellations due to weather. If USD #305 cancels school for weather related reasons, the studio will also be closed. We do not close for teacher in service days or minor holidays.  If you are unsure, please call the studio for further information.
