GENERAL INFORMATION
Check in/Dismissal Procedures
The hours of operation are Monday-Wednesday from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Students will individually enter the facility and a staff member will check them in.(Parents need to present with their child(ren) at check-in). Classes will end 5 minutes early to reduce dancer overlap and allow for disinfecting/cleaning between classes. We will dismiss them individually where you will pick them up from outside. Students for the next class will remain outside until a staff member calls for that class. Students must remain in class until dismissed by the instructor. If a student needs to leave early, he/she must inform the staff member prior to class. WDC staff cannot be held responsible for unsupervised children. There is no one to supervise children when they are not in class. Siblings may not wait inside nor outside the studio when they are not in class, nor can they wait in the dance room during their siblings’ class time.
Website/Social Media
All information concerning events, class cancellations, and important dates are posted on our website (winterdanceco.com) and social media Pages (Winter Dance Co and Winter Dance Company). We will follow East Baton Rouge Parish School closures due to bad weather. Make-up classes will be announced. If in doubt, please give us a call or check the website and social media pages for more information. Our site and social media pages function to keep students and parents informed and up to date on studio events and activities. Please visit this site and social media pages often to receive current studio information as it is updated regularly.
Monthly Newsletter
In addition to the website, a monthly newsletter will be given out to keep you informed of upcoming events and dates.
Attendance/Tardiness
No refunds or deductions are given for missed classes. Good attendance is essential to the student’s progress. Arriving late for class is disruptive to the class and it is unfair to the students and instructor. All students must arrive on time.
STUDIO CLOSURES
See Important Dates page for more information.
WITHDRAWING FROM THE STUDIO
If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to withdraw a child from class, please notify the studio by submitting a withdrawal form or completing the withdrawal form on our website before the first of the next month to avoid tuition being charged again. Tuition and other fees will continue to be charged until a letter of withdrawal has been received. No refunds will be given.
Donate Dance Attire
Donate any new or gently used dance bags, dance attire, and dance shoes that are too small. These items will be available for students that may need them.
Google Classroom
Parents will receive their child’s Google Classroom Code on their first day of class. This platform will be used for teachers to record their lessons for students to practice at home.
Community Service Involvement
We encourage our students to be a positive asset to the community. We will have quarterly community service projects that will be open to all students and parents.
Studio & Team Paraphernalia
Order studio and team paraphernalia at the studio and our online store.
