	Arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the start of your lesson so you can put on your shoes and be ready to dance at the beginning of lesson time. Do not wait for the teacher to tell you to get ready and begin stretching. This should be done silently as to not disturb the lesson going on before you.
	Proper dance attire and shoes are required for every lesson. These include: leotard, tights, tight fitting t-shirt or tank top, or bicycle shorts. Highland ghillies or ballet shoes must be worn. Hair must be up and off the face and no jewelry.
	Please treat others in the way you wish to be treated. Rivalries within the studio or other studios will not be tolerated.
	If you are not going to attend a lesson or are going to be late, call the studio to notify the teachers so they are not waiting for you. If you do not call ahead, you will be charged for the lesson. We get worried about you if we don't know where you are!
	After learning a dance, you are expected to practice it on your own so that it can be reviewed, not re-taught at a later lesson.
	No food or drink except water is allowed during lessons (medical exceptions are allowed). A water bottle is suggested - please bring it with you and take it home again with every lesson.
	The studio door will remain closed during all lessons. Parents and siblings can wait in the waiting area during lessons.
	It is expected that notes will be taken during class on what to work on during home practice time. Practice at home is essential to improvement. Improvement must be seen at each lesson in order to move on to new material.
	Workshops are wonderful to attend and we encourage everyone to attend - but please make sure that they are approved by Mrs. Brownlee or Bree prior to attending. There are rules that we have to follow with attending a workshop and competitions...so to be on the safe side, check with us first!
	Show respect to others including instructors and classmates at lessons and fellow dancers, teachers, parents, volunteers, pipers and judges at competitions, and other studio events. Always remember, you are not only representing yourself, but your entire studio.
	Acquire a good relationship between dancer and teacher and dancer and parents!
	Costumes are a large part of a dancers success. If you do not look presentable, you may be overlooked at competitions. For this reason, costumes must be approved by the instructor prior to purchase.
	If you are having problems in class or at competitions, please let us know. We are here for you!
	Have fun!!
