The LA County Department of Public Health has removed the mandate stating we have to minimize the presence of non-essential visitors.  However, after three years of not having parents/guests/siblings inside our building we have decided we are no longer going to have an open door policy for non-dancers.  Please read below so you know what our observation policies are moving forward.  Please know we’ve spent a lot of time coming to this decision.  We will always do what we believe is in our dancers' best interest.  Our goal is to create the best environment for our dancers to thrive! 

 

"IT TAKES TWO" CLASSES - Dancers ages 18 months to 3 years old (Adult Required!) 

• An adult/caretaker is required to be inside the dance studio with their dancer for this class.  Siblings are not allowed.

• (If your 3 year old is signed up for a 3 & 4 year old class, parents will only be permitted inside during the observation & showcase weeks.  If you would like to be inside with your 3 year old for all classes, please sign up for an “It Takes Two” class.)

• We appreciate you taking the opportunity to fully engage watching your dancer - please do not take phone calls or bring laptops.  

• Siblings may come when accompanied by an adult.  We ask that loud activities be limited.  The siblings must remain with the adult at all times.  Please do not allow your child to tap/bang on the viewing window, put their face on the viewing window, etc.  Children using devices must have them muted or use headphones/earbuds.  

• The front desk managers will not be available for questions, but are happy to answer questions via email.

• If you need to speak with your private lesson teachers, please do so at the beginning of the lesson and do not keep them after your lesson time has ended.  

• If you are not able to follow our rules, you will be emailed and asked not to enter the building.
