Parent & Dancer Etiquette

• Please be sure that your dancer is dropped off and picked up on time.  We do not have the staff to watch students after class ends. If you will be late picking your dancer off, please contact us. A student may not be permitted to join the class if more than 15 minutes late. 

• All dancers, regardless of age, are asked to wait inside for their ride. Parents should come inside to pick up younger dancers.
• The lobby is a common waiting area. Please keep it clean and orderly. Dispose of trash, and keep noise to a minimum.
• Although we try to answer our phone, email is the best way to reach any of our staff.
• No gum or candy is allowed into the studio. Food and drink may be allowed at the discretion of the teacher. 
• Hair should be neatly pulled back in either a bun or ponytail.​
• Outside shoes must be changed before anyone enters any of our studios.

We take our jobs very seriously. We are here to ensure that all of our students, children and adults, receive the very best training we can offer. Please be respectful of our teachers and students, and keep noise to a minimum.

Attendance Policy

At Westchester Dance Artists, we are sensitive that everyone has emergencies and schedule changes.   We hope that parents and students understand that consistent training and attendance at rehearsal is necessary for your child to progress and for the group to remain cohesive. We reserve the right to cast based on attendance. Our staff must be notified by email if absences should occur. 

Please be aware that additional rehearsals are required for additional performances and events. 

Missed Classes

Any missed class may be made up within one month of the absence. There will be no refund or credit for any missed class unless it is due to injury. If inclement weather should arise, please call the studio and check the website to see is we are open. As with personal classes, if a class is missed or cancelled due to weather, the student may attend an alternate class as a "make up". Westchester Dance Artists follows the Ossining School District class schedule. 
If for some reason a majority of students will not be attending class, we reserve the right to cancel class and reschedule at a later date.
