Dancer Rules & Policies
At Dreams Come True Dance studio we believe its important to learn to follow rules and direction. If there is a student who continues not to, they will be asked to sit out. Good behavior is rewarded. DCT reserves the right to terminate lessons to any student without notice.
Parents may drop their children off or come in and watch. Children need to wait in the entry way for class to start and be ready to go. Please do not drop your child off more than 15 minutes before their class. Students in the Into to Dance class and those who are younger should not be left unattended before or after class.
There is an observation room available for parents and siblings. Please make sure
all parents get a chance to watch their child. If you always stay and watch your child in the
observation room please make room for other parents to watch that don’t get to do so every week.
Watching class is a privilege. Please try to keep the observation room, bathrooms and entry neat.
Students may not wait outside when waiting to get picked up. There is a window located at the top
of the stairs that can be used for the dancers to see out into the parking lot when parents arrive. If
you are going to be late picking up your child or early dropping them off please let DCT Dance know.
If someone not listed on your registration forms will be picking up your child, please notify us as well.
There is no videotaping allowed during DCT’s classes. If you would like to videotape your student's routine for practicing just notify Coach Kayla.
Dress Code
Hair must ALWAYS be pulled back and away from the face. Dancers are required to wear tights and either tight shorts and a tank top or a leotard. Baggy clothes are not allowed. No pants of any sort can be worn for a ballet class. Shorts, tights, leotards and skirts are allowed. Once a student turns 6 and joins the level I class, they are required to wear the appropriate dance shoe for the class. No jewelry is allowed for class expect for small earrings. Dancers need to come prepared for class in dance attire. If dance wear is forgotten you may borrow dance clothes to borrow from DCT. There are also hair ties available in the changing rooms.
Adding & Dropping Classes
Classes can be added or dropped within the first few months of the fall session, before choreography starts. If a student drops a class without letting DCT Dance know, you will be charged until the dancer is absent for over 4 weeks. After that the spot in the class is open for another student. DCT does not prorate for inexcusable absences. Make-up times can be scheduled through Coach Kayla. The session beginning in September goes till May, and ending in a dance performance. DCT summer session last about 10 weeks. Schedules change twice a year for the Sept-May session and the Summer session.
Progress & Levels
DCT has Levels in all their dance forms. To know what your Dancer needs to move up to the next
level or what to work on please contact Coach Kayla. Proper progression is very important for you
Dancers learning, safety and success in this sport. You will be contacted if you child is ready to move
up to the next level. Level changes usually don’t occur in the middle of a session.
