If a student is injured it is up to the student and the parent to notify the school of the injury. We encourage students to participate in watching class until healed.

The studio reserves the right to have students who come in late, sit out and watch. It is up to the teacher of the class if the student can participate if late arriving. Stretching is done right at the beginning of class and if the dancer is not properly stretched, they can severely hurt themselves. We at LADC are invested in your child and we take injuring your child very seriously.
Attendance in class is very important to us to continue the growth and education of your child. Awards for Excellent and Perfect Attendance are recognized at the Annual Show.

We hand out notices periodically on up coming events at the school please check your child’s dance bag to see if any notice was sent home.
We at LADC do a studio phone call out to all members of L.A. Dance Connection. Please have all phone numbers updated with the school.

The school is not responsible for providing care before or after any class. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time before or after class. If a parent is running late please call the school so we can notify your child where to wait for you to pick them up.
If you are the last class of the evening please be no later then 15 minutes to pick up your child as a courtesy to the staff members that are off work waiting for you.
