SPRING RECITAL
• We end our season with our Spring Recital. We encourage but do not require participation.
• The Spring Recital will be held either in May or June depending on local theater availability.

• Tickets will be available for purchase through a ticketing service in May (date TBA). Ticket prices typically range from $20-$25 depending on venue.

Dance Corner requires all staff and students to stay home when they are ill. In order to reduce community spread of Coronavirus, we follow best practices and recommendations from our local health department and from our industry associations, More Than Just Great Dancing!® and Youth Protection Advocates in Dance. TDC understands that unlike older children and adults, young children cannot be expected to maintain social distancing at all times. Therefore TDC focuses on a hierarchy of measures beginning with keeping ill people home, followed by frequent hand cleaning and good hygiene practices, amplified cleaning, and curricular and facility adaptations to minimize contact and mingling where possible. All studio classes are backed up on an online learning platform. In the event a class is unable to be held at the studio classes will convert to an online learning platform until in-studio classes can resume.

LOST AND FOUND AND SECURITY
A lost and found basket is located in both lobby areas. Please check the lost and found basket regularly as all lost and found items are donated to Goodwill on the 1st of each month. Security cameras are located in public areas for safety and security. TDC does not make security or video data available to students or parents. TDC is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Please do not leave belongings unattended.

COMMUNICATIONS
At The Dance Corner we go to great lengths to keep you informed and up to date through monthly e-newsletter, e-mail, facebook and lobby postings.

Questions- We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your dancer and our programs. Let us know how we can help you in any way!

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance is vital to student progress and group choreography. Please make every effort to attend each class. Students may make up missed classes in another class of appropriate level.
Please report absences via email to MissJenny@TheDanceCorner.com or by calling the studio 860-663-3738.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY AND STUDIO CLOSURES
In the event of inclement weather, power outages or other conditions that are unsafe for our students to attend classes, an email will be sent and a Facebook post be made by 2:00pm for afternoon classes and 8:00am for morning classes if classes are cancelled. Please note that we do not necessarily follow school closings as roads are often cleared by the time studio classes begin. Any cancelled classes may be made up on your own time from our regular schedule of classes.

RESCHEDULING, TEACHER AND CLASS SUBSTITUTION
The Dance Corner reserves the right to reschedule or combine classes.

The Dance Corner reserves the right to provide a substitute or replacement teacher as TDC may deem necessary.

The Dance Corner reserves the right to deliver class content via an online system in the event that classes are not able to be conducted live for any reason including, but not limited to: weather, teacher absence, or governmental advisory.

DRESS CODE
Proper attire and hair etiquette are required for all classes. Special class attire including shoes and hair will be published before the start of classes in August. Most required items are available in our Dance shop.

CLASS PLACEMENT
Students will be placed in the appropriate class for their age and level. Students new to dance may need to begin the year in a class younger than their age group, or may be asked to take an additional class for a period of time in order to catch up to their age group. We ask that you please respect Dance Corner staff decisions regarding placement. It is important to us that students of all ages and levels have a positive dance experience. All questions or concerns about class placement should be directed to The Family Care Coordinator.
