• Regular attendance is imperative to a dancer’s progress. Regular attendance builds technical execution, performance skills and confidence. 

• Please be on your best behavior before, during and after class. This will make you stand out as a serious and committed student.

• Arrive 10 minutes early for class to prepare yourself. If you are late, wait for the exercise in progress to be over before entering the dance floor.

• Water bottles are a must. Please bring your own water in a secure container to class to be used during the designated water breaks. Don’t forget to take your water bottle home with you.

• Be appreciative of corrections and apply them as best you can. Students will progress faster if they can apply corrections.

• Be kind to your classmates. A positive attitude must be kept at all times in the studio and the dressing room. Displays of rudeness are unacceptable.

• Please label shoes (inside) and other personal items.

• Dance shoes must be worn for studio use only. Dance shoes worn as street shoes (traveling from the car to studio) are NOT allowed in the studio.

• Please turn off or silence cell phones.

Classroom Etiquette for Parents 

and Class Observers

​

• Parents and sibling who are observing class should remain quiet at all times. If this is not possible, please wait outside of the classroom.

• No sitting on the dance floor.

• Parents wishing to discuss their child’s progress with the teacher should set up a meeting through the office. You can email us at XscapePac@gmail.com.

• No photos or videos of class without permission from the teacher.

• Please turn off or silence cell phones while inside the classroom.

​​

• Appropriate dance attire is important for the proper training of a dancer. Our dress code is designed so the teachers can see posture, arms, legs, and feet in order to give the right corrections.

• Students should arrive dressed according to the dress code.

• All hair must be pulled back and off the face. See below for specifics.
