​Preschool & Primary Class
 
Important things to know for your first class:

• Put your dancer’s name in their shoes before you arrive at the studio.
• Bring your dancer to the bathroom before class.
• Teachers will bring students into class.  Parents are not allowed into the dance space as we are encouraging independence in our little dancers!
• Water bottles should not enter the dance room.

Here are some other guidelines to help you get the most out of your Preschool or Primary Class:
