Regular attendance in all dance classes is expected of all registered students. Dance requires consistent ongoing training, and dancers who excessively miss classes will not be able to execute their talents at the same level as those who have attended all classes regularly. Punctuality is just as important as attendance, please be on time and prepared for class. If you are running late to class, please contact our Studio office at 302-543-5257. Dancers who are more than 15 minutes late to class will not be allowed to participate.

Melodic Movements Performing Arts Program Placement is based on the following criteria: technique, commitment level, and attitude. Melodic Movements Staff will place students together in their appropriate class level.

Parents should sign dancers in at the front desk and sign out upon dismissal. Parents are more than welcome to wait in the lobby during class time, however, parents are not allowed in the dance studio during class time. No food or drinks permitted in the dance studio or in the lobby only water. Bathroom breaks will only be permitted during class time in the event of an emergency. We encourage dancers to use the bathroom before or after class. Dancers who are over 15 minutes late will not be allowed to participate in class.

All registered students, parents and families will be held to the highest standards of conduct. Communicating negatively to or about anyone in or outside our studio will not be tolerated. Melodic dancers, parents and families are expected to show courtesy and respect to all admin staff, instructors, directors and other students. Any student, parent or family member who exhibits negative or disrespectful behavior will be asked to leave class and or the studio. Melodic Movements dancers, parents and families should always be respectful and have a positive spirit attitude and behavior.
