2024 -2025 Season
It is understood and acknowledged that Believe Dance Academy follows the Sarasota School Board Calendar and our Holidays will be consistent with this calendar. It is understood that participation in our programming, classes and camps, and occupation of our lobby entitles Believe Dance Academy to use photographs of my children and myself for the purpose of marketing and promoting the art of dance and our classes and camps. All likenesses utilized will be strictly used to promote the studio, our classes, our facility and any use of likenesses will adhere to our core values.*



Conduct and Culture
Believe Dance Academy is committed to a family- friendly, kind, and supportive culture. Both our recreational and competitive programs are dedicated to teaching children to respect one another, and to communicate with integrity and dignity in intent and delivery. Parents are expected to identify any concerns via email to our Studio, and to not contact any of our staff or faculty via personal message, text or any other method of personal communication, and to ensure that requests are submitted during normal business hours. We pride ourselves on the delivery of the finest programming and we are committed to ensuring that our brand, our faculty, our dancers and our parent group reflect these values at all times. In the unfortunate circumstance that parents' behavior is inconsistent with this expectation, we reserve the right to provide one warning to the family. Any additional behavior that is inconsistent with our mission, our culture and our brand can and will result in our suggestion that the parent's values are inconsistent with those of Believe Dance Academy, and would be best served outside of Believe Dance Academy.
