Creative Movement & Recreational Classes:

We ask all students to wear fitted, stretchy clothing that enables them to properly stretch and jump and allows the instructor to see alignment. Jeans, dresses, skirts and other restrictive clothing are not permitted.

Competitive Classes (except ballet):

All competitive dancers must arrive for class with black dance clothes (black bodysuit, black tights, black boy shorts, black fitted tops, black jazz pants or leggings, black tank tops, etc.) and proper footwear. Hoodies,sweatpants and socks will not be permitted.If a dancer continuously comes to class without the proper clothes or footwear, it will be addressed.

Ballet Exam Classes:

All ballet students must wear a black bodysuit and pink tights so alignment is visible. Ballet skirts and black shorts are permitted. Please note: All students are required to wear a black bodysuit, pink tights and pink leather ballet slippers only for all ballet exams.

We do not allow spectators during class time, as our studios are not equipped to handle seating and we find our students benefit from not having an audience during class time. At the end of class, we do occasionally allow viewing throughout the dance season. There is seating in the hallway if you wish to stay in the building during your child's class. We ask that friends not accompany your children to class, as it is disruptive for the class and instructors are unable to provide proper supervision for children who are not registered in the class.

Regular attendance is an important part of succeeding in any dance class be it Recreational, Creative Movement or Competitive. Poor attendance will result in parent contact and may result in the student in question not being permitted to participate in events such as recitals, competitions, dance exams, etc. R.S.I. Danceworks reserves the right to ask for the withdrawal of any student whose behavior is disruptive, disrespectful or jeopardizes the progress of other students. If your child is not returning at any time throughout the dance season, you must send an e-mail to info@knmdanceworks so our office can process your withdrawal. We cannot accept notice of withdrawal from other dancers or parents.

If a dancer sustains an injury during a dance event or is ill, their parents must make the decision if the dancer cannot continue. The dancer must be cleared by a medical professional in order to resume participation.

To prevent the discomfort of our students, their guardians, instructors, and others in our studio who have sensitivities, please refrain from wearing scented products or perfumes in the building.

KNM Danceworks is not responsible for misplaced or lost items. We do keep a lost & found box in the hall. At the end of each session, it will be cleared and all items will be donated to charity.
