Fees must be paid in full by the beginning of the year.
Communication for UpTown is primarily done through Email. Parents must notify the office of any change of contact information. It is the responsibility of the parent to read all emails sent throughout the dance season.
Students must arrive early for class allowing them time to change and stretch. If a child arrives late, it is the instructors right to deny entry.
Please do not drop young children off more than 15 minutes prior to class time. They will not be under any supervision.
Please go to the bathroom BEFORE class. Bathroom breaks during class take up a lot of time and are a distraction to the other students.
Please dress appropriately, come to class with your hair done and follow the individual class dress code. No jewelry is allowed, as it is a hazard.
Please mark all clothes and shoes with your full name on the inside.
We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Items found will be put in the lost and found. At the end of the month any unclaimed articles will be donated.
NO GUM allowed in the classroom
Only water will be allowed in the classroom.
Please respect the building. Keep halls and change rooms clean.
If a dancer chooses to eat in the hallways on their break, please ensure it is peanut free.
We are not responsible for injury caused while on the premises. If a child gets injured we reserve the right to seek medical advice.
Please do not wear your dance shoes outside of dance. This will keep them clean and will help protect the studio floor.
Parents cannot watch class, take videos or pictures.
Cell phones MUST be turned off and put away during all classes.
Classes may be cancelled due to weather or instructor illness. Every effort will be taken to find a sub for the class or hold a make-up class.
If you have to miss class for a valid excuse, please email uptown@fmcsd.ab.ca. If a child has missed too many classes and we feel it is affecting class performance, we reserve the right to remove the child from class. If a child misses 3 consecutive classes we will contact the parents to discuss the absences. If you wish to remove your child from a class you must email the office at uptown@fmcsd.ab.ca
Alterations to costumes are the dancers responsibility.
*ALL recitals and rehearsals are mandatory to participate in the Year End Recitals. Please make sure you check our Important Dates and mark them in your calendar.
