Monthly Newsletter
Our monthly newsletter, “Dance Express” will be distributed each month by e-mail. It is also available to view on our website or can be picked up at the front desk. The newsletter will have important information and the monthly activity calendar for our parents/ dancers to help you keep current with the Dance Arts Centre activities and noteworthy dates.

Dance Attire/ Dress Code
For all other classes you can wear leotards, tights, jazz pants, dance shorts or jazz tops. Hair must be pulled back in a ponytail or bun for all classes. For ballet classes only, all dancers must wear solid leotards and pink or black tights.

Missed Classes
Missed classes can be made up whenever possible. You can come to another class of the same age & level to make-up a missed class. We’d be happy to assist you in finding an appropriate class to attend. There are NO refunds for missed classes.

Recital
Each June we hold a fully staged professional dance recital at the Hopkins High School Auditorium. It's always a magical event!

Class/ Individual Pictures
A professional photographer will be here in May 2009, to take pictures of your dancer and their class in full costume. These pictures are optional, but they are a great way to have a memory of your year at Dance Arts Centre.

Punctuality
Dancers are asked that they arrive at least 5 minutes earlier than the start of their class time. This will allow them to get dressed if needed, use the restroom, and enter the classroom on time. Parents of children under 8, please take your child to the rest room prior to class to avoid disruptions.

Retail
For your convenience, our retail floor offers dance shoes, leotards, tights and some other fun dance items. Dance shoes are fitted by our staff and if shoes need to be ordered, the shoes usually arrive in 3 to 5 business days (unless they are specified on “back order”).
