CLASSWEAR AND APPEARANCE
Your child will be provided with suitable dancewear as part of their all inclusive fees. There may be a small delay in receiving the uniform where stock is limited or your child needs to be assessed in the level they are entering.

It is not compulsory for children to wear full uniform to class each week but there are minimum guidelines that must be followed:
1) Dancewear- Form fitting clothes must be worn to enable us to check body alignment. Children are permitted to wear crop tops for jazz and acro as long as the distance between the bottom of the crop top and top of leggings/shorts is no more than the width of the child's hand. Children in the junior, intermediate and senior ballet classes must wear a leotard for each class, with ballet skirt and tights optional.
2) Hair must be neat and tied up for all classes. Children in the junior, intermediate and senior ballet classes must have hair in a neat bun.
3) Footwear- Children in the Tippy Toes program may wear barefoot for acro, and other classes if they wish, with the exception of tap! Ballet, jazz and tap shoes will be provided at their first class (stock permitting).
4) Makeup is strictly prohibited at all classes and will not be used for performances until it is both developmentally appropriate and theatrics demand it.

STUDIO ETIQUETTE - TIPPY TOES PROGRAM
• Please understand that the sole purpose of allowing our parents into the studio in our Tippy Toes program is to PROVIDE SUPPORT for the dancer. This allows us to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for many children who would otherwise be unable to engage in dance.
• No mobile phones to be used in the studio during class time.
• It is not acceptable to come in and out of the studio once class has commenced.
• Please encourage your child to use the toilet before coming in to the studio.
• Please do not enter the studio while music is playing. If you are late to class please wait until a break in the music and settle your child on their mat as quickly as possible.
• Please do not talk to other parents during the class. This adds to the overall volume in the studio, becoming overwhelming, distracting and slowing down progress.
• Please try to limit the number of family members observing your child.
It is understandable that from time to time you may have ‘special guests’ wishing to observe the class, and this is totally acceptable. However, we do not have the capacity to have many people watching each child every week. If you have multiple siblings with you then please consider setting them up in the wait room or encouraging your dancer to come in to class independently.
• Please remove unsettled siblings immediately. If siblings must be present in the studio, please ensure they offer their chairs to adults and they have something to keep them occupied. Please do not allow siblings on to the dance floor.
• No food is permitted in the studio. Students are required to bring water to hydrate themselves during class.
• Please do not instruct your child from the seats. Your teacher will instruct their dancing, if they need behavioural support please come on to the dance floor and support them in a positive manner.
• Please do not bring sick children or their siblings to the studio. We have anumber of children who have a compromised immune system and we do not encourage the spreading of germs! If your child is unwell please drop me an email to info@edendanceinstitute.com stating the alternative days you are available and we will do my upmost to find you a make-up spot!

STUDIO ETIQUETTE - JUNIOR, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR PROGRAMS

• Please remind your child to visit the toilet before entering the studio.
• No food is permitted in the Studio. Students are required to bring water to hydrate themselves during class.
• During viewing weeks please do not talk during the class. This adds to the overall volume in the studio, becoming overwhelming, distracting and slowing down progress.
• During viewing weeks please remove unsettled siblings immediately. If siblings must be present in the studio, please ensure they offer their chairs to adults and they have something to keep them occupied. Please do not allow siblings on to the dance floor.
