Class Policies

• Class changes and drops MUST be submitted to the office in writing.

• Tarrytown Dance reserves the right to cancel classes with low enrollment.

• Students are placed in class according to age and ability. Instructors have the right to move your child if they feel that another level is more appropriate.

• Missed classes may be made up by attending another comparable during the week. Instructor permission must be received before a make-up class may be attended.

• For our dancers’ safety, students may not be dropped at the studio more than five minutes before class time and must be picked up promptly after class. Young dancers may not be left unattended at any time. 

• Any student who is more than ten minutes late may be asked to sit and observe class by the instructor.

• All instructors reserve the right to ask a student who is disrupting class to leave.

• Observers and parents are not allowed to disrupt the instructor/class at any time unless there is an emergency.

• Please schedule meetings with instructors through the office. During and between class times instructors are not permitted to leave their classes unattended to speak to parents. It is best to meet privately when the instructor may spend adequate time discussing your questions/concerns.
