Class Etiquette for Children Classes

·Classes run without a break in between so it may not be possible for you to speak to your child’s teacher immediately before or after a class as this would mean disruption of next class. You can let the teacher know that you need to speak to them either by leaving a message or call.

·Please ensure that your children have been to the toilet before their class. Tell your child to ask the teacher’s permission if they need to go to the toilet or drink water during the class.

·Students may not take drinks or food into the studio. Please make sure they have had a drink/snack before class. If they are thirsty during class they may be excused to have a drink.

·Only one parent per student is allowed to bring students up to our dance studios. Parents are not allowed in the classes to watch. From our experience, the children learn better when their parents or caregivers are not in the classroom. We advise all parents to wait for their children at the cafeteria. However, we have Parents’ Open Day when parents are allowed in to watch their children. We seek for your support & co-operation.
