Helpful Tips for the first week of dance

Everyone is exited the new dance season will be starting soon To help our
dance classes to be a stress free zone, please consider the following tips:

1 Write your childs name on all dance shoes and belongings, including
dance bags
2 Dancers should arrive dressed in leotard and tights Cover up for
outside and the hallways is appropriate We ask that all dancers wear
their hair pulled way from their face Hair bows hurt during
tumbling
3 Remember that all dancers need to use the restroom before class,
especially our youngest students Students may bring a water bottle
into class Snacks are not permitted
4 Classes begin and end promptly on time Be sure your child arrives on
time and is ready for class Children must stay in the studio until
parents pick up at the door Please do not drop your child off at an
outside entrance and allow them to walk in by themselves Instructors
are not allowed to sign children into Child Watch
5 We ask parents to wait in the lobby while your child takes class
YMCA members may take advantage of the fitness room, pool or a group

exercise class during dance If you plan to leave the premises,
please leave a cell phone number with your instructor
6 If your little dancer is nervous or has a few tears on the first day,
understand that some children need a few lessons to adjust We
suggest that you let them walk in and not be carried; this allows the
teacher to take their hand instead of taking them from their parents
arms Our staff will do everything possible to make sure each student
feels secure in their care It doesnt take long for the little ones
to relax and join the fun
7 We have a payment box on the wall outside the program center Please
always include your childs name on the check and what the payment is
for ie tights
8 If we have inclement weather, please call the member services desk
704-716-6700 or Ms Jennys line 704-716-6780 to find out about
closing
9 If you child is sick or you are on vacation, please call or email and
let us know There are no refunds for tuition, but we will be happy
to schedule a make-up class for your child
