School Rules

Important Guidelines for Parents and Students

1. Dressing Room Policy: Dressing rooms are not waiting areas for parents and guardians. Male guardians are not permitted in the dressing room while older students are preparing. Please be respectful when entering the dressing room.

2. Food and Beverages: Food is allowed inside the school only when a student has consecutive classes. We encourage recycling and appreciate it if you bring your water bottle.

3. Locker Room Conduct: Please maintain complete silence in the locker room. 

4. Tips for Parents with Young Children:
– Children can sense your emotions. When your child enters the class, smile and show them exactly where you will be sitting. Our teachers will do their best to make your children feel safe and comfortable.
– Please refrain from asking to enter the studio unless there is a serious reason; if one parent enters, other children will likely also want to see their parents.
– If your child is sleeping before a ballet class, do not wake them up. You can arrange with us to make up for the missed class on another day.
– If the teacher decides to hold the door open at the beginning of the class, please do not attempt to look inside.

5. Feedback and Communication: If you have any complaints, please discuss them with us rather than only among yourselves.

6. Missed Lessons: If your child misses any lessons, they can make it up by joining a class of the same level and any genre. Tuition will not be deducted.

7. Class Cancellations: If the school cancels a class, it will be rescheduled as soon as possible (weather-related cancellations do not apply).

8. Tuition Fees: The school’s tuition fees are annual, not monthly. The months of December, January, April, and June must be paid in full.

9. Exam Eligibility: As a general rule, new children are not allowed to enter for exams unless Mrs Liza grants permission. Additionally, children who have been absent from school for two months cannot take exams unless Mrs. Liza gives approval.

10. Class Placement: Students are placed in classes:

A. According to their age (in line with RAD and ISTD regulations and recommendations of the Ministry of Culture in the relevant decree).

B. The Artistic Director, who carries the responsibility, determines the ability and talent of the student and therefore the appropriate level of placement.

11. Uniform: Each class has a specific uniform, which must be strictly followed. Hair must be tied up neatly to avoid obstructing vision or safe movement.

12. Arrival Time: Lessons start and finish at specific times. Children are advised to arrive 10 minutes early to prepare and socialize with their group.

13. Escorting Minors: Parents must inform the school who is escorting the child upon arrival and who will pick them up after class. Parents waiting during their child’s lesson, especially with younger siblings, are responsible for keeping the younger child quietly occupied. Parents are not allowed to wait in the changing rooms or stand outside the studio.

14. Animals: Animals are not allowed in the school. The only exception is for guide dogs, for which the school must be notified in advance.

15. Health Information (e.g., allergies, injuries, etc.): Parents are responsible for informing the school promptly about any health issues concerning their child.
