From school age, parents are not permitted in the studio to watch. This is because the kids get more easily distracted when parents are in the room. There are opportunities throughout the year where parents are invited in to see their child’s progress.

Children are to be respectful towards other children in the class and to their teachers. We will not tolerate children being disrespectful.

We do allow parents to sit in for all toddler and some pre-school classes, we ask that the parent remain quiet and refrain from using mobile phones. Again this adds extra distraction to the kids and their teachers.

We encourage the kids to bring their own water bottle in for class. Food is not necessary unless they are doing back to back classes, in which case they can bring their food in a lunchbox, and have it quickly in between classes. We don’t allow them to eat during class as it is a choking hazard.

We as parents love filming our kids and their milestones, but this is NOT permitted during class. This is out of respect to other kids whose parents may not be as keen for you to film their child, but also as it is again very distracting for both teacher and child.

We ask that kids be picked up promptly after class, We understand that there may be times when you are late, so just ask your child to wait inside the studio at all times. There is no supervision outside the studio.

It is ESSENTIAL that kids wear the appropriate attire for classes with the correct shoes - No school uniforms, denim jeans or loose clothing. All information is listed in the What To Wear page on our website.

Throughout the year we take photo’s and videos of some classes to upload onto our website, instagram, youtube page or on some occasion the ElectricDNA Facebook page. No child's name will be mentioned but please inform us ASAP if you don’t want your child’s image to appear in any of the above.

At ElectricDNA we have an annual concert, it’s a relaxed, low-key affair – it’s about having fun, and showing parents, grandparents and friends, the skills that the kids have learnt throughout the year. The kids are not required to wear make-up, hairspray, or elaborate costumes. All costumes range from $35 - $65 to buy. These will be added to your invoice for term 3 & 4.

No refunds will be given for loss of interest in a class. We can credit you the remainder of your term fees for the following term if there is an injury, or major illness.

The common denominator with the all the classes is respect, and it's something the kids always rise to. Whether in a studio or on a stage, the kids know that the more respectfully they watch and listen, the more likely they'll be given the same attention when it's their turn.

DISCLAIMER
Electric DNA teachers are trained in correct dance technique and physical instruction; however, all dance classes can involve the risk of personal injury. While Electric DNA knows the importance of safe dance practices and takes all reasonable care in the conduct of its classes, it accepts no responsibility for injury or loss caused during classes or whilst participants are at or near the dance studio.

Participants are responsible for ensuring that they are physically and medically fit for the class and during the class they must take care of their own personal safety at all times. The taking care of one’s personal safety includes mandatory participation in the warm up and stretch element of the classes. Additionally, participants should take care of their personal safety by attending classes well equipped, which includes bringing their own bottled water and wearing prescribed clothing and footwear.

In addition, any student being dropped or collected before/after the times of the classes stated above will not be supervised and therefore, if left, is done at your own risk.

Dance and acrobatics can be hands on, teachers will at times adjust children to the correct posture and safe body positioning.
