Student Responsibilities
Always be respectful and considerate of other students and teachers. Failure to obey this rule will result in the termination of your enrollment at the studio without refund. Students are not allowed to run around in the studio. Students and siblings are expected to stay in the waiting area. The teacher will invite the students into class when it is about time to begin class. Remember to be quiet during class and raise your hand when you have a question. Enjoy yourself, have fun and don’t forget your smile!
Parents Responsibilities
Cooperate with the teachers in carrying out discipline penalties when action is necessary. The teacher must be able to maintain authority in order for all the students to enjoy class. Remain in the waiting area during class. If a young child is unsure about participating at first, you may want to try letting him/her watch the class first, or bring him/her early so he/she will become comfortable with the studio. Children mature at different ages, if your child is not ready for class, please bring him/her back when he/she feels more comfortable with dance class. Be sure your child’s shoes fit property – it is very difficult to enjoy dance class when your shoes are either too big or too small.
Please check the bulletin board, and the class calendar of events – they contain important information you will need to know about upcoming events! We will occasionally hand out notes. Please ask your child if they were given information each week.
Teacher’s Pledge
As a teacher of young dancers I will always do my best to ensure the safety and well being of my students while they are in my care. I understand the importance of being prepared to teach. I understand the impact my behavior, appearance, and knowledge has on their lives. I am a role model and everything I do and say can make a lasting impression on them. I will strive to make my lessons exciting so my students will return and we can dance together for many years.
Class Attire
Please visit our class listing to find descriptions fore each class and what attire and shoes are required.
Insurance
Dynamic Edge Dance Center does not carry medical insurance for its students. It is required that all students be covered under their own family’s insurance policies. If injury occurs i is understood that the student’s won policy is your only source of reimbursement.
Snow & Bad Weather
We will post on KSDK if the studio will be closed due to weather under school closings. When in doubt, check our social media or please call the studio for a recording stating if classes are canceled or visit this site.

Grandparents week will be the first week in February, your child may bring their grandparents along to their class to watch them and see what they have learned.
Attendance
Attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class and the studio cannot jeopardize its responsibility to the rest of the class for one student. Please make every effort to have your child to class on time.
