Attendance & Absences

Punctuality and regular attendance is a must for your progression in dance. All students are expected to arrive on time for their class and conduct themselves in an orderly fashion while on the premises.

Make-up classes are available for any class missed due to illness, family vacation or personal conflict. Make-up classes may be taken within one month of the missed class or prior to the missed class, if you know when you will be absent. To schedule a make up class, select a class of the same level (or a level below), confirm the date of your desired make-up with the studio office before arriving, and then fill out a make-up slip upon arrival to give to the instructor at the start of class.
 
Food & Beverages

Much time is spent daily to ensure that our facility remains a clean and safe environment for you and your children. With this in mind, food, beverages and gum are not permitted in the lobbies or dance rooms. Realizing that “accidents happen” and that many children have food allergies, we need to be sure that our lobby space is free of all food & drink items.

Snack Room

Feel comfortable to eat in our snack room. You may bring your own snacks or drinks. All children must be supervised while in the snack room. We ask that you please leave the space in an acceptable manner for others coming in after you (cleaning supplies available).
 
Drop-off & Pick-up

KICKS is only responsible for your dancer when class is in progress. Parents of young children must remain with their child until they are invited into the dance room by their instructor and should be waiting for them when the class is dismissed.
 
Older students should not be dropped-off with an excess amount of time to wait prior to their lesson.

Please come into the studio to pick your child up after class. It is unsafe for dancers to run out into the parking lot unattended.
If a dancer is not picked up within the ten minutes following their lesson, KICKS reserves the right to charge a $1/per minute “baby sitting fee”.

A Constructive Learning Environment

Please give our students a quiet environment in which to learn. While families are welcome to remain in the facility during classes, we ask that you please try to keep the noise to a minimum. The lobby is not a playground. If you have young children, please bring some quiet & clean activities to occupy them while they wait.

You may also drop your child off at the start of class and return at the end of their lesson to pick them up. This gives you guilt-free time to run errands.

Absolutely no screaming, running or gymnastics in our facility.
 
Bathrooms

KICKS' has several restrooms located in the back of the dance rooms - easily accessible to students during classes. In addition there are two lobby restrooms located outside of the Purple Room that are accessible to parents, siblings and visitor.

Dance Rooms

If you need to walk onto the dance floor for any reason, please remove street shoes first. This will help keep the floor clean and extend its life. Dance shoes should never be worn outside.
Children are not permitted in the dance room without a teacher present.

Observation

KICKS maintains a closed door policy throughout the year. Understanding the importance of witnessing your child's experience and progress, we have a two-way observation window for all studio rooms.

Please do not come into the dance room during class unless it is an emergency. Trust that we will make the proper corrections to your child based on the skills we are working on at the time. Never try to get your child's attention by tapping on the window or calling out to her. Teachers reserve the right to temporarily close the window at any time if they feel that students are distracted.

Studio Awards

In recognition of ones dedication to dance, trophies are awarded to long-term students at KICKS. Students are acknowledged who have been with us for five, eight, and ten consecutive dance seasons.

Progress

Teachers are always happy to discuss your child's progress or behavior with you. Most classes have a 15 minute break before and/or afterward for this very reason. Please do not hesitate to discuss with them any questions or concerns you may have. If your child loses interest in dance, seems unhappy or appears to be under or over challenged, please let the office know. Often a recommended change of class time, teacher or subject can make all the difference.

When You Have Questions

In addition to this web site, we provide several other forms of communication throughout the year to help keep you informed.
KICKS' main office, located in the lobby, is open during all standard class hours. During these hours you will find KICKS' directors and/or staff available, in person or by phone, to answer questions, discuss studio events or hold a friendly conversation. 

Over the course of the dance season, you will receive KICKS' Dance News newsletters.  These will provide reminders and detailed informatin about studio events.  You will also find a memo board in the studio lobby and several bulletin boards in the Snack Zone posting KICKS' literature, newsletters and reminders.
