To ensure the safety of all dancers and instructors, please read the following information carefully.​

​

Attendance, Illness or Injury

Attendance is imperative for consistent progress. If a student is going to be absent from class due to unforeseen circumstances or you know in advance you/your child will be away, please send a text message directly to the LAD Studio Director number. If a student is too ill to participate in class, they should remain home and rest. If they are injured and are feeling well enough to attend, we encourage the dancer to come to class and observe.

Placement and Dance Roles

For some new students it may be necessary to take the first week of class in a ‘trial’ level in order for the instructor to assess the proper class level. The Staff has the final word on casting for rehearsals and performances. Please be respectful of their careful decisions. We try our best to allow all students the possibility to be featured during the performances.

 

Instructor Interaction & Volunteer Policy - Blue Card​

La Danza Studio recruits and retain individuals who are not only qualified but are deeply committed to upholding children’s safety and wellbeing. Staff and volunteers are supported with ongoing professional development and clear guidance, empowering them to model safe and respectful practices in every interaction. All Instructors over the age of 18 have current Blue Cards and every volunteer has complete the Blue Card registration form.​
