Rhythm and Twirl is designed for parents who want "something special" for their children in dance education, music appreciation, discipline, poise, and healthy bodies. To continue the high standards, the parents and students should need to observe the following: * Positive attitudes that are encouraging and respectful to instructors and staff, as well as other students * Be respectful of studio and other student's property * Food, drinks, gum, and smoking are not allowed in the building by anyone. * Never wear dance shoes outside; please enter/exit with street shoes and change in the dressing room before/after class; this protects your shoes as well as our floors. * A neat waiting area is expected, with personal belongings put away or in bags, not in the middle of the floor. When the student is neatly dressed for class, quietly go into the studio and wait.* Students will be assigned to the class from which they will derive the most benefit. If at any time a problem occurs, please call the studio office at (409) 926 - 1087. It is important that the teacher, student, and parents are happy. We are never too busy to talk with a student or parent, but not between classes unless scheduled. * Regulation dance attire is necessary for each student. Wear the assigned attire for each class to each lesson, along with the correct color of tights, the proper shoes, and approved hair. * Hair must be worn in a bun for all Ballet classes. A tight ponytail may be worn for all other classes. * Put names or initials on EVERYTHING - clothes, shoes, bags, etc. * If your child must miss a class, please call the office so that we know why he/she is missing. * No phones or cameras are allowed to be used during class time without approval from the instructor. Rhythm and Twirl usually observes the same major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and Easter) as those given by BISD schools.
