Students are expected to arrive a few minutes before the start time of their class wearing the correct uniform with their hair tied up. For Ballet and Tap classes the hair must be in a ballet style bun, for modern Jazz the student can choose if they would like a bun or a french plait. All hair must be off the face and out of the eyes to ensure safety for themselves and others in class.
I ask that parents try to email me with all questions out of class time to avoid answering queries at the door and in turn wasting your childs class time.
