ATTENDANCE:

Regular attendance is imperative to insure quality instruction for all students.

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT:

SBSD students are expected to act kindly and respectfully toward others at all times. Harming or threatening others, degrading comments, and any general display of disrespectful behavior (in the studio and/or on social media) will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the studio. Students are expected to listen & focus in all classes. Socializing/talking during instructional time causes distraction and will not be tolerated. Students should practice ONLY the technique and dance steps specific to the class they are participating in. Use of cell phones, smart watches, or any form of technology during class is not allowed. Ringers should be turned off and no checking for calls/texts.

ATTIRE & HAIR:

Proper attire, including shoes, is required to participate in class. Students who come to class improperly dressed and/or without proper shoes may be asked to sit out. No bra tops are permitted. Hair must always be neatly secured away from face in ALL classes! Full hour ballet classes have strict attire guidelines and require hair to be neatly secured into a bun. Full details regarding attire guidelines for all classes are available on the SBSD website.

FOOD AND DRINK:

Absolutely no eating during dance class! Snacks eaten in between classes should be eaten outside or in designated seating areas...never on the open dance floor! No open drink containers allowed – only beverage containers with secure lids, straws, etc.

CLASSROOM OBSERVATION POLICY:

SBSD has a closed studio observation policy. Our priority is a focused environment for our students which is best achieved with only the students and teachers in the studio room during classroom instruction time. Our Poway Studio has a viewing TV in the lobby, and at the RB studio, on occasion, the doors will be kept open and parents will be invited in to watch the last few minutes of class.

PARKING (APPLICABLE ONLY TO RB STUDIO):

The Bernardo Oaks parking lot is for the use of S&T Club members only. Non S&T Club members are to use the back parking lot, accessible off Pomerado Road, when parking, dropping off or picking up dancers. No waiting or parking in handicapped spaces should occur at any time, for any reason unless the car is equipped with a handicapped sticker. Blocking traffic in either parking lot while waiting for your child to make their way out after dance class is not permitted. Please pull fully into a parking space while you wait or circle around to keep the flow of traffic moving.

SWIM & TENNIS CLUB FACILITIES (APPLICABLE ONLY TO RB STUDIO):

SBSD students, and their families, are expected to respect all rules and regulations of the RB S&T Club. Non Club members are limited to the use of the dance rooms, tables outside the dance rooms, restrooms and playground*.

*Playground use is a privilege. SBSD families who are not club members should not plan for extended play dates before or after dance class. Siblings may use playground while waiting for a sister/brother who is taking class, but only when properly supervised by an adult. Children of ALL ages require supervision on the S&T Club playground.
