Welcome to Bri's Dance Place! We're so excited that are interested in enrolling your dancer in our studio.

As a PARENT, I will:
Know my dancer's schedule and will make sure that he/she is at classes, rehearsals and performances on time and picked up on time.
Encourage my child to do his/her best without comparing my child to the progress of others.
Positively support and represent my dancer, BDP and his/her team in classes, performances, competitions and on social media.
Bring any concerns or questions that I have directly to the Parent Liaison teacher via studio email or studio phone only, not social media or teacher or director cell phone.
Help my child meet and follow all of the guidelines and requirements set forth in the BDP Partners in Dance Handbook.
Respect and understand that the decisions of BDP staff in placement and performance ability are final, in your child's best interest and in the best interest of the team.
Fully comply with all attendance policies in place and understand the refund policy.

We are a private business and have the right to refuse service to any person who does not follow our policies and procedures.
