Drop off and pick up will be at the side door (beside the main doors from the parking lot) leading to the studio on the right-hand side of the building. Our staff will help you get acquainted with the entrances and exits during the first few weeks of classes.
There are 2 parking lots located on both sides of the building. We ask that you please do not block entrances and exits to the lots with your vehicles. Watch for children exiting and entering as the lots do get busy with less visibility into the evenings.
Arrive on time at least 5mins prior to class start time. Please ring the bell if you are running late and the door is locked
Safety is of utmost importance to us. To guarantee the well-being of all our students and their families during
their time at our facility, we kindly request that you prioritize punctuality when picking up your child. Please be
aware that we do not offer supervision for students before or after their classes. Parents are responsible for
ensuring that their child arrives punctually and is safely dropped off for their class.
Furthermore, we kindly ask that parents ensure they are present at least 5 minutes before their child's class ends
to pick them up. This practice will help facilitate a smooth transition between classes.
For parking, we urge you to utilize the designated parking spots and exercise caution when entering and exiting
the parking lot. Your attention to these safety measures contributes to a secure and harmonious environment for
everyone.
Our instructors are trained professionals who love what they do! You child's growth and happiness is so very important to us. Should you at any point throughout the dance season have questions or concerns please do let us know. We are always happy to communicate with you. We want to ensure your child is having a positive and memorable experience at So Dance Studios.
