Always plan to arrive a little early for your child’s first class and be on time for all classes to follow. Being rushed in late can cause a child unnecessary stress. When a student is 10 or minutes late to class they may not be permitted to enter the dance room. Students should be dressed in proper dance attire and prepared for class before it starts. No street shoes should be worn in class. Please change into dance shoes before class. We request that students carefully observe our dress code. All students are encouraged not to leave the studio room once class has begun. Please allow for appropriate restroom time prior to class. Very young children will be treated sensitively as the need arises. Preschool children may need a parent’s attention from time to time for various reasons including bathroom or behavior issues.
Parents please do not enter the studio room while class is in session unless you are invited in by the instructor. If there is an emergency that requires you to remove your child from class early, please inform the front desk staff and they will assist with excusing the student from class. Please do not leave the waiting room when very young children are in class without informing the front desk staff or having another parent be responsible during your absence.
We make every effort to have all children feel safe and cared for in a loving and inspiring learning environment.
Absolutely! Our program is for every dancer, whether dancing recreationally or desiring something more. At Avanti we can take your dancer from pre-school to college and help them reach their own personal goals!
We do not offer public dressing rooms, however, we have multiple spacious and private restrooms for dancers to use for changing. Students should do their best to arrive fully dressed ready for their first class.
Yes we do! We have a designated bin in both our buildings. To help ensure the return of any personal items, write your dancer’s name on all items (clothing, shoes, water bottle etc.). Avanti Dance Company is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal property. It shall be the student’s responsibility or their parents (younger children) to care for his/her own personal items. Please note that any unclaimed items left in the studio will be donated at the end of each month.
No food or drinks (accept water) are allowed in the dance rooms, water but must be placed in the cubbies provided. Chewing gum is never allowed in the dance studio. Parents and siblings are not to eat in waiting room areas. Parents, Siblings & Dancers are permitted to eat food in designated areas (J-Building breakroom, front patio, side court yard, in L-Building hallway benches/counter near cubbies). If you forgot your child’s water, we do have two stocked vending machines and a water filling station in the J-Building and water filling station/fountain in both the J & L-Building.
Yes we do have several parent seating areas which are geared towards parents of younger children who may need to stay nearby. Although our lobbies are not large enough to accommodate everyone, we ask that only one parent remain on premises with toddler/kinder age children. Children ages 6+ we encourage parents to drop off and return after their class/classes are done. Keep in mind that it may become more difficult for students to transition to being independent when they know their parent is sitting in the lobby. Do not be tempted to go in and out of the class room if you see that your child is struggling. Younger children may take several weeks to get used to being in a non-parented program and feel secure. Our teachers are trained to work with young children and know how to deal with separation anxiety. If they feel a situation cannot be resolved with time and consistency, they may recommend a creative movement style class where parents are welcome to join class with their child.
Parents who bring younger siblings to the studio, we ask that you please be sure they are not being disruptive to other parents watching their child’s class. We do have a play area in our waiting room in the J-Building for younger siblings.
Food is not permitted in our lobbies. Students and parents please always clean up after yourself (and/or younger siblings). We want to keep our waiting areas clean and comfortable for everyone.
During class if a student complains of being ill, or sustains an injury and cannot participate, the instructor will send them to the office were the parents will be notified if they are not on the premises. Only students with a pre-existing injury or recovering from illness will be allowed to observe class in the dance room.
We ask if children are experiencing signs of serious illness to please keep them home until they are no longer contagious and feeling better.
If your child missed a class due to illness you will have one month to make-up a missed class.
Our enrollment programs are not month-to-month, when you sign your child up for a class, you are enrolling them for the entire season (Fall/Spring or Summer) or the remaining season depending if they join mid-season. We want your child to get the most of their training and continue to grow with us year after year. However, we understand if you need to can cancel enrollment, you can do so anytime with 30 Days notice by submitting the ONLINE CANCELLATION form.
Most of our classes do perform in our year end showcase (June) and younger children (8 & under) may also perform at our holiday showcase (December). Aerial students will also have two student showcases annually.
