We have a spring recital at the end of this session and there is a $75 recital fee for each student.
Hair needs to be pulled away from the face in ponytail(s) or a bun. Use clips for those stubborn stray hairs.
Jewelry should be kept to a minimum. No dangling earrings, bracelets, or necklaces.
NO GUM or sticky candy allowed during class. This is a safety issue!
Water should be brought in a bottle that the students can easily drink from and that seals well.
Dry Snacks are encouraged for students who have long classes/waits or come straight from school.
Drop Off/Pick Up
Classes will be held at Viking Hall (504 Broad) above the Police Station. Entrance on Park Ave.
Parents, after your dancer is comfortable, we do ask parents to please drop your children off and pick them up, staying only during observation classes. The library is a great place to wait. If you do stay, we ask that you are quiet and sit in the kitchen out of view of dancers to avoid distractions during class.
In wet weather, please remove boots before coming into the class space. Winter gear, backpacks, and coats can be placed in the coatroom by the bathrooms.
Thank you for understanding.
Observation Days are to photograph and videotape your dancers in class.
At Story City Dance, we have a dress code that ensures our students an equal and positive experience. Shoes & tights need to be purchased through us and leotards/dresses must be the correct color. Students may either purchase them new, used from another Story City dancer or borrow them from our borrow box.
Items will ship to the studio and be available for pick up on the 1st night.
