Studio Policies

LDC is a professional school and does not function the same way as other local dance and performing arts schools. While it is not expected that students will become or wish to become professionals, LDC's policies, dress code, classes, teachers and community will be treated with professionalism and respect.

Additionally, LDC does not permit bullying, discrimination or negative talk about the school, its teachers, staff, fellow parents or students at any time. Inability to follow these rules will result in removal from the school.

Children are required to come properly prepared to every class (LDC uniform, hair done properly and on time). Preparedness is enforced in every class. If students are not properly prepared for class or are late, the teacher may ask that student to sit out that day. Credits, make ups and refunds are not provided, should a child be asked to sit out.

Uniform requirements for all classes can be found here!

Students are expected to come to class each week. If a student needs to miss a class for any reason, they are expected to do a make up class (preferably within a week of the missed class). Please contact theschool.lhgcreative@gmail.com to let us know that your child will be missing class and which class they would like to make up in.

You MUST email us for a makeup class. Please DO NOT show up to a makeup class without notifying us.

Email is the main form of communication at this school and it is imperative that emails sent by the school are read in a timely fashion, to ensure that parents and students are staying properly informed.

Parents must communicate clearly and in a timely fashion regarding any issues they or their student may be having.

LDC is a commitment based school. We do not offer refunds or credits for any reason. By registering with us, you are automatically agreeing to this policy.

Students who receive Work Study and Scholarships have an attendance requirement and are only permitted to miss one class, maximum, per semester. Students are also required to show up on time for class and behave in accordance to our studio etiquette.

Students who receive Work Study, but miss more than one class, show up late or are not properly prepared for or behaved in class, will forfeit their Work Study.

Any child that attends our school must be fully potty trained and able to use the bathroom on their own. Our teachers cannot help children use the bathroom.

All students should use the bathroom before class. We encourage students not to use the bathroom during class, unless it’s an emergency.
