You can purchase some dance clothes in the studio for minimal cost or I can supply you with a list of places you can purchase dancewear and shoes. Students should bring a sweater to class in the winter months.
NO GUM CHEWING. Students are asked to wear street shoes and carry dance shoes to and from class. Wearing dance shoes outside is not good for the shoes or the studio floor.
Please WRITE YOUR NAME IN ALL YOUR DANCE SHOES and keep them in your dance bag at all times.

Spectators:
No one is allowed to stay in the classroom as it distracts the students. You are welcome to stay in the waiting room, which has an observation window. I will have “Friend Day” during which each student may bring a friend to class, free of charge of course.
|
Recital:
There will be an annual on-stage production in June. More information will be given in your monthly dance notices. Please make every effort to attend each dance class in order to be properly prepared for the recital. Attendance trophies will be given to students with PERFECT attendance. Students are not required to be in the recital, however, it is a good experience for the dancers, giving them confidence and a sense of completion.
|
Costumes:
Costumes may be ordered as early as mid-October. Your costume deposit is due with your registration form or your registration will not be accepted. I take advantage of as many end-of –the-season sales as possible and will shop around to get you the lowest possible costume prices. NO REFUNDS are given after costumes are ordered.
|
Snow Days:
If Chester School is cancelled due to severe weather, daytime classes (before 3:45 p.m.) will automatically be cancelled. However, this does NOT necessarily mean that evening dance classes are cancelled. Call the studio 1 ˝ to 2 hours prior to your class (AND NOT BEFORE) and listen to the recorded message or listen to WZID, 95.7 fm for cancellation announcements.
|
Make-up Lessons:
If you are absent for any reason, or have a lesson cancelled, you are welcome to make up the class missed in another scheduled class appropriate for your age and experience level.
|
Notices:
Dance notices will be sent home for each family on the first lesson of every month and will be posted on the waiting room bulletin board. They will give you all the information you need regarding our dance season, including holidays, vacations, parties, recital dates, and more.
|
