Classes will begin promptly at their designated times. The dance hour is 55 minutes. Please leave all valuables at home. CDS is not responsible for lost or stolen property. No gum, food, candy or pop allowed on any studio floor. Children are not allowed to wait for a parent outside of the building. Please pick up your child at the end of their class time.

During the first few weeks of classes some students may be shifted to other classes to ensure they are dancing with others of similar ability. If you have questions about placement, call CDS to discuss your child with the Instructors.

We cannot accept any student if they only want to try it for a month or two. A student in the study of ANY art form cannot decide if they will enjoy it without diligently applying themselves for an adequate period of time. By making this commitment your child will learn the importance of accepting responsibility and finishing something they start. We, as a Performing Arts Center dedicated to training the total artist, cannot accept the "I can always quit" attitude.

Dancers that will be performing will be responsible for their own costumes, accessories, etc.

Parents are invited to the first lessons of September, December and March to watch classes. Parents are encouraged to come and show support. Remember to be considerate in regards to your younger children in the studio, as it is impossible to give a proper lesson if the classroom is busy and noisy with spectators.

Newsletters and dance information sheets are distributed periodically. HOWEVER, it is the responsibility of the student and parent to check the bulletin board and/or website for current class and updated studio information.

All dancers must wear proper attire and shoes. Absolutely no jeans. Students should wear a cover up when entering and leaving the studio. Dance shoes should NOT be worn outside.
