M.D.C Classroom Etiquette

 

• Students must arrive on time for class, properly dressed and ready to dance. A student arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to observe class. Important warm-up exercises take place in the beginning of class and a student who is not properly warmed risks being injured. Late arrivals are also disruptive to the class.

 

• Students should remember to use the bathroom before class begins to minimize interruptions. If it is necessary to use the bathroom during class, the student should ask the teacher for permission and return to class promptly.

 

• Students who are disruptive will be given a warning. If they continue to be disruptive, they will be asked to observe the class. All such problems will be discussed and dealt with accordingly..

 

• Ballet Barres are for ballet warm-up only. They are not as strong as gymnastic bars. Therefore, leaning, swinging, or hanging on the Barres is strictly forbidden.

 

• Each student must properly dispose of her/his trash and. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep our Dance Centre clean for everyone to enjoy.

 

• Doors to the studios are kept closed while classes are in session. Parents are asked to remain outside the studio for the duration of the class to avoid M.D.C classroom distractions.

 

Waiting Areas

 

• Students must conduct themselves quietly and politely while in class and while waiting for classes to begin.

 

• The waiting area should not be used as a space for play dates or meetings.

 

• There is no running and no use of indecent language in the waiting areas or anywhere in the dance centre.

 

• Please help us keep the noise level to a respectable volume.

 

• Please leave pets and animals at home as they are not permitted in the Dance Centre.

 

• Students age 10 and under must be supervised by parent/guardian at all times when not in class. This includes bathroom and locker room supervision.

 

 

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

 

• Students should arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to class time in order to change and prepare for class. Please do not drop students off more than 30 minutes prior to class.

 

• Students must be picked up on time.
