Classroom Policy

• We require students to ask permission before leaving the studio. If a parent/guardian needs to speak with a student, a message can be relayed through the office. 
• No gum is permitted in the Black Box, practice rooms, or dance studios.
  
• Please don’t bring food or any other drink other than a water bottle in all studios or practice rooms. Food is permitted in all common spaces and lounges.
  
• Use of cellphones or any electronic devices is not permitted in studios and practice rooms.
  
• Only indoor, non-marking shoes may be worn in the dance studios.
  
• Smoking is not permitted around the property. We choose to set an example for the students and are promoting a professional and healthy environment.
  
• If a problem arises with your student, please talk to the Heart of Riverdale Executive Director (Andrea Simpson-Fowler) or the administrative staff. Please do not approach other instructors. The Heart Director will handle all problems.
  
• If a student is unable to make it to class because of illness, please call the studio and inform the administrative staff. They will inform instructors.
  
• If a student is injured, we prefer they come to class with a doctor’s note and watch the class.
  
• If your child requires an educational assistant in other programs or schooling, one is required for our programs. Please contact us to discuss any arrangements.
