​

 

Please Note: TWS has a zero tolerance for BULLYING!!!

​

 

TARDINESS

​

It is very important that each dancer arrives on time to their class. We highly suggest arriving 10 minutes before class to get settled in.

Being on time means each dancer will participate in the warm up and be much better prepared for the rest of the class.

 

MAKE UP CLASSES

​

Make up classes are not available at this time.

If you miss a class, you will not be able to make it up.

​

 

PICK UP’S/DROP OFF’S

​

Parents/Guardians are asked to pick up their student on time.

A fee of $10.00 will be added to your account if you are more than 15 minutes late and/0r more than 15 minutes early.

TWS is a dance studio, not a daycare.

story lines, music, dance, and other endless possibilities.
