Silhouette Dance Studio Policies

---

Regular attendance is expected, and makeups are available for missed classes, provided the studio is notified in advance of the absence. Missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the absence or forfeit the class.  All make up classes need to communicated ahead of time via email at laura@silhouette.dance . 

 Arrive early, stretch, and be prepared for when your class begins. This includes being in dress code, with proper shoes on and hair pulled back.  

No refunds or credits are given for any classes that are missed due to illness, injury, weather closures, or school conflicts.  

Our primary means of communication is through email. You will receive updates and important information via email, please ensure you have provided the studio with an up-to-date email address that is regularly checked. It is your responsibility to open and read all information. Paper notices will NOT be sent home with your dancer. Do not forget to add our email address laura@silhouette.dance to your contacts so the email doesn’t go to the junk folder. If you need any clarification on any communication, do not hesitate to call or email. 

No gum or eating in the dance area. 

Water bottles should remain in the lobby during class. 

 At Silhouette Dance, we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and encouraging space where every dancer can grow with confidence. All students are expected to treat instructors, classmates, staff, and families with kindness, respect, and professionalism at all times—both inside and outside of the studio.

Dancers should come to class prepared to learn, stay focused, and give their full effort. A positive attitude not only helps individual growth, but also supports the success of the entire class and team. We believe that every dancer plays a role in building a strong, supportive community.

Bullying, negativity, or behavior that makes others feel uncomfortable or unwelcome will not be tolerated under any circumstances. This includes in-person interactions as well as behavior on social media. Dancers are expected to represent Silhouette Dance with positivity and integrity at all times.

If a dancer displays disruptive behavior, poor attitude, or disrespect, instructors may ask them to sit out or leave class, and parents will be notified. Continued issues may result in further action, including removal from classes or events. Our goal is always to guide dancers toward growth—not only as performers, but as respectful and confident individuals.
