CLASS/REHEARSAL INFORMATION
Dancer’s will receive a full curriculum based on the staff’s discretion. Each class will include a warm-up and stretch session, followed by practice of learning technique, practicing choreography, etc. Eclipse Dance Complex/Dance Net Studios LLC has the right of class placement based on level.
DANCER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dancer’s full responsibility to come to class prepared in proper attire, water (or an athletic beverage), correct shoes, and anything else needed for their classes. If a dancer comes to class unprepared once, they will receive a warning. If it continues, the dancer may be asked to leave class and a parent/teacher meeting will be requested. We understand that sometimes students will forget things occasionally and parents have several other responsibilities and priorities at home. Our studio is willing to make light accommodations for you and your family to make your studio experience as easy as possible. Please see the front desk for more information.

We ask that all parents with student’s younger than the 1st grade remain in the lobby during class time. We are happy to offer free wifi to all parents for anytime they need it. Make yourself at home in our lobby! Most importantly, please make sure you are frequently checking your emails and keeping in touch with the front desk for updates. We are also on the Band App, where you can find all studio information and message our staff and anytime. If you have any questions about the studio, please do not hesitate to ask.
PICTURE DAY
One of the great things we offer at our studio is picture day. Each class will have its own time slot during the week of pictures. We hire a separate company and maintain an organized schedule, so it is very important that we stick to the schedule that is provided. Although individual photos are not required, we highly encourage all students to participate in each class’s group photo.
DRESS REHEARSALS
All classes will have 2 dress rehearsals; one in-studio and one on stage. These dress rehearsals are mandatory and all dancers MUST attend to perform in the end of year recital. We will post the dates for these dress rehearsals before December holiday break, and we will have the schedules released after February Break.
END OF YEAR RECITAL
This is the moment we have all been waiting for! Our students have all worked so hard for these moments on stage, and we are always so excited to have friends and family join us for the show. As we get closer to the end of the year, we will release specific recital packets with lots more information, including dates, the venue, stage orders, etc.
