Elevate Ballet Company's schedule mostly aligns with the Montgomery County public school schedule. However, dance lessons will not be canceled due to MCS early release and/or teacher workdays and we still hold regular classes on Veteran's Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Holiday dates will be posted in schedule and notice will be given to you and your child prior to each holiday period. If you have specific questions about holiday schedules, please contact us.
Attendance and Tardiness
Attendance is taken at each class. Perfect attendance is a priority at Elevate Ballet Company, and imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back a student’s growth. Please make every effort to have your child attend and be on time for every class. If your child will be absent, please notify us prior to their class. If your child misses 2+ classes in a row and a parent or guardian hasn’t notified us, you will be contacted at instructor’s discretion. Please do not drop off student any earlier than 5-10 minutes before their class time. We only allow parent observation the last few minutes of class as it can be a distraction to the class, and we do not have ample space.
Studio Attire & Etiquette
Students must adhere to dress code and arrive for class wearing the proper shoes and attire. Pink or nude ballet shoes (full sole or spilt sole), and any style/color ballet tights and leotard. Leotard, tights, and shoes are required for ballet classes. Leggings, athletic shorts, and bare feet are permitted in jazz, contemporary, tumbling etc. Hair must be secured back out of your child’s face into a bun for all dance styles. No heavy jewelry or long nails, as it may be a safety hazard to student.
