Attendance

 

Training is progressive. Dancers cannot reach their full potential with excessive absences. Good attendance is important too while students are learning their choreography so they are practiced and prepared for their year-end performance.

Dance Attire

 

Required: leotard and tights. You may wear a leotard color of choice. Students may wear dance shorts or a skirt with leotards. NO sports shorts (Milton soccer, etc.) Leggings and jazz pants are fine for hip hop, contemporary and jazz classes. Ballet students in our ballet program must wear pink or tan tights with pink ballet shoes. For Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop shoes will vary. Check with your instructor. NO socks on the dance floor for student safety. Gymnastics is clean bare feet.

Please have hair pulled up off the face, low bun is preferred so the neck can been seen by the instructor. Low ponytails for gymnastics.

 

No interruptions once a class is in session. No street shoes on the dance floor. No food or snacks in the dance area, only water bottles will be permitted. Students should bring all dance shoes in at the start of class.

Parent Expectations

 

Please no parents, friends or siblings in the dance studio during class. We will hold parent observation weeks. Please watch from a distance and not up against the door. We see you in the mirror and this can distract the students, especially the younger students.

 

Any medical conditions must be listed on your registration forms. Dance & Gymnastics has a risk of injury as with any other sport. Footworks Studio and its teachers will not assume responsibility for injuries. This is the responsibility of the parent & student.

Class Cancellations

Classes cancelled due to inclement weather will be posted by 2:00pm on our Facebook page and webpage. Many times the roads get bad after we’ve started classes for the evening. Please use your judgment in these instances especially if you are travelling from outside of Milton. Do not follow what your school has done as we have students from many school districts. If the roads are clean in the evening, we will hold class.

Recital Photos

​

Our pictures are done by Finest Image with several packages available at a group discount rate. These are optional. A time will be scheduled at the studio for picture day. All students must participate in the photo shoot so that all students are in group photos.
