All Spotlight School of Dance activities are approached with professionalism and integrity. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment that seeks not only to instil a love of dance in our pupils, but to develop important life skills as well – respect, commitment, reliability and teamwork.

 

To ensure a happy and positive experience for all involved, it is important that pupils, parents (including carers or legal guardians), extended friends and family members and staff understand and comply with the below.

 

Pupil etiquette

•Demonstrate respect for teachers, parents, staff and other pupils at all times.

•Arrive at least five minutes prior to your scheduled class. Latecomers may be refused entry, due to the risk of injury.

•Present to class in a tidy and well-groomed manner with hair tied back neatly off the face. Ballet buns are required for all ballet classes with the exception of baby ballet.

•Dance uniforms and dance shoes must be worn for classes, where specified. School uniform is not appropriate dance attire and therefore not permitted. Teachers may refuse entry to dancers not groomed appropriately.

•Bring a clearly named bottle of water to every class.

•Attend class regularly unless ill or injured, or in the event of a family emergency.

•Honour prior commitments made to the studio by attending classes, rehearsals and performances above other social events.

•Serve as a role model to younger dancers at all times, including appropriate language and behaviour.

•Mobile phones should be switched off or on silent mode and are not to be used during class.

•Put rubbish in the bins provided and clean up after yourself.

•Show respect and care for studio equipment and facilities.

•Ask for help if you need it – we are here for you.
