BalletCorps Policies
BalletCorps policies are designed to support a safe, focused, and respectful training environment for every dancer. Please review the information below before registering for classes.
Appropriate class attire allows instructors to clearly observe alignment and technique.
Consistent attendance supports progress, confidence, and continued development.
Studio activities may occasionally be photographed or recorded.
Families should communicate any injuries or limitations that may affect participation.
Uniform Policy
BalletCorps maintains a structured dress code so that teachers can clearly observe alignment and technique during class.
Students are required to wear the designated BalletCorps uniform for their level. Uniform colors and specifications are outlined within each program level description. Please note that BalletCorps uniforms are currently under development. Until uniforms are completed, dancers are asked to wear a solid-color leotard for class. Boys should wear black tights and a fitted white or black T-shirt.
- Hair must be neatly secured away from the face.
- Jewelry should not be worn during class.
- Ballet shoes must be properly fitted and appropriate for the dancer’s level.
- Uniforms and class attire should be clean and well maintained.
Students who arrive without proper attire may be asked to observe class rather than participate.
Attendance Policy
Consistent attendance is essential for a dancer’s development.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes whenever possible. If a dancer must miss a class due to illness or unavoidable circumstances, families are asked to notify the studio in advance when possible.
Frequent absences may affect a dancer’s progress and readiness for advancement within the program.
In cases of extended absence due to illness or injury, please contact the studio so that we can discuss appropriate accommodations.
Photo & Media Release
BalletCorps occasionally photographs or records classes, rehearsals, performances, and studio activities for educational, promotional, and archival purposes.
By registering for classes, families grant BalletCorps permission to use photographs or video that may include participating dancers in studio marketing and communications, including the BalletCorps website, social media, printed materials, and performance programs.
No dancer’s name or personal information will be shared publicly without permission.
If a family prefers that their dancer not appear in promotional materials, please notify the studio in writing.
Injury & Liability Policy
Dance is a physical activity that carries an inherent risk of injury. BalletCorps strives to maintain a safe environment and provide proper instruction, but participation in dance classes is undertaken at the dancer’s own risk.
By enrolling in classes, dancers and their guardians acknowledge that:
- Physical activity involves risk of injury.
- BalletCorps and its instructors are not liable for injuries sustained during class or studio activities.
- Dancers should inform instructors of any existing injuries or physical limitations.
If a dancer becomes injured during class, parents or guardians will be notified as soon as possible. Families are responsible for ensuring that dancers are physically able to participate in dance training.
