Policies

Arriving and Exiting the Studio:
Prompt arrival & pick-up are a must.  The Studio Lobby is closed.  All classes, with the exception of Mini Dance & Mini Hip Hop/Tap  (one parent allowed), are drop off and pick-up.   Only 4 students are allowed in Lobby at a time and Staff will supervise entering and exiting the lobby before, during  and after classes. Please wait outside or in your car before and after classes.  If you need to contact the studio, please call 978-453-0033 or e-mail lisa@bravoschoolofdance.com.   

Bring only the essentials!  

Due to food allergies, Bravo! School of Dance is a Peanut Free School!  Please no food or drink inside the waiting area or dance studio.  Just water!

We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please leave your valuables at home!

Snow Policy: 
Please call the studio one hour before your scheduled class. If class is cancelled due to weather, a message will be left on the studio Voice Mail or check your e-mail, the studio Facebook Page and/or Website for notification. Classes cancelled due to snow can be made up within one month of cancellation by attending another dance class of the same or similar level. We do not offer refunds due to weather cancellation. In some cases, a virtual class option may be provided. 

Holidays and Vacations:
The Dance School Calendar, informing you of when the studio is open and closed, is posted on the website or check the bulletin board located in the lobby for notification.  View our Calendar.

Classroom Conduct:
Please show respect for your teachers and fellow dancers.  No talking, touching, hanging on Ballet barres or gum chewing will be allowed in the classroom. Regular attendance and prompt arrival is appreciated.   Please follow the Dress Code for each class.  Cell phones are not allowed inside the classroom and must be set to silent in the lobby. 

Parent Conduct:
Please be a good role model and keep it positive!  Negative or inappropriate language and/or behavior inside and/or outside the studio, at studio events, and on Social Media will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal of both parent and/or student from Bravo! School of Dance.  Please communicate concerns sooner rather than later by contacting the studio to make an appointment.  Dance teachers are not to be interrupted before, during or in between classes.  Every effort will be made to address your concerns in a timely manner.

Virtual Classes:
In some cases, due to studio closures for illness or weather or for a student quarantine, a virtual class option via Zoom may be available. Regular class etiquette and participation is expected even on Zoom. Arrive on-time, in Dress Code and adjust camera so that the full body is visible. No eating during online classes. Find a quiet area to minimize distractions. Any student over the age of 6 not actively participating in a virtual class will have the session terminated by the Teacher.  Please notify the studio via e-mail if your child will be attending on Zoom on a given day. Late arrivals will not be allowed to enter the online class.
