WATCH WEEK INFORMATION
Parents are welcome & encouraged to sit inside the classrooms and receive our newsletters for the 1st lesson of both September & October. The next watch weeks will be held the first week of: December, February, and April. During regular weeks, parents are welcome to watch through the viewing windows but please know that we hold your child’s attention and accomplish much more learning with them when they are not overwhelmed or distracted. Watch week for Rising or Elite level competition classes will be clarified via direct email.
Dress Code Requirements:
• Dance Attire & Shoes: ALL students should wear dance attire for their classes. Any style is fine, and tights are optional. Shoe requirements depend on the type of class you are enrolled in. Most dance classes will need black tap shoes and pink ballet shoes. Tumblers will need white acro shoes. Hip Hop classes will need tennis shoes. If your dancer has not yet been sized for their all-inclusive shoes this season, please stop by the desk asap.
• Hairstyles: Female dancers & tumblers should wear long hair in a ponytail or styled away from their face.
PARKING: Our parking lot becomes quite congested during busy evening hours. We suggest arriving about 5 minutes early and allow the previous classes to exit before finding your space. Our classes are dismissed 5 min early in order to help with this transition, but we do apologize in advance for any inconvenience! You can park in the North alley by Starz but do not park on Salem or you will be ticketed by the Oak Grove Police. We appreciate your patience with this!
