Policies-
Our Mission: We strive to provide the highest level of dance training and a family atmosphere conducive to learning, personal growth, building friendships, and increasing self-confidence. Our goal at WADA is to build champions not only in dance, but also in life.
Spectators: Parents and visitors may stay and observe class in the waiting area only. No interrupting during class time. WADA has observation days throughout the semester for parents to come in class and observe their training. Teachers are always available to meet to discuss your dancers progress.
Class Attendance: Dancers are expected to arrive on time. Classes will not be delayed for late arrivals. Students arriving to class late are asked to enter the class quietly. While, we understand that certain instances occur and a student will need to miss class; we asked that you keep this to bare minimum. Your child benefits from full participation in class. Missed classes may be made up by attending another comparable during the week. Instructor permission must be received before a make-up class may be attended. All make up classes must be finished before the end of the semester.
Dress Code: Students are expected to arrive to class in their attire. If a student consistently comes to class not in proper attire they will be asked to only observe. Hair must be pulled back in a ponytail or worn in a bun. No jewelry will be permitted; non-dangling earrings are okay. Appropriate form fitting dance attire is required for all classes. All dancers are expected to come in their appropriate dance shoes and attire for the classes in which they are enrolled. If you have additional questions about proper attire feel free to contact our office or speak with an instructor about appropriate attire.
