Here is a general outline of what to expect in our lobby and in class: 

Lobby:

Class Etiquette: 

• No outdoor shoes are permitted in the studio as dancewear. 
• No gum in class. 
• No perfume or hairsprays that may bother others, though deodorant is encouraged for all those taking part in physical activities. 
• Classes are not to be interrupted. If waiting for a class, dancers must remain in the lobby or waiting area until the door is opened for them. 
• Watching classes is not permitted, unless requested by the teacher. Non-students are not invited to watch classes. 
• Cell phones are to be set to silent while in class. 

General Studio Policies: 

• All Passion and Performance classes are 19+. 
• Children are NOT permitted on the site of Passion and Performance. Our studio aims to maintain an adult only atmosphere due to the nature of sexual classes.
• The waiver is the document that protects Passion and Performance from liability. After you sign the waiver, Passion and Performance will not be responsible for any injuries that you may incur while obtaining services at the studio.
• Due to the sexual nature of our classes and performances, as well as venue restrictions, all Passion and Performance shows are 19+. 
• Instructors reserve the right to dismiss dancers without refund for disruptive behavior in class. 
• If a dancer commits to a performance but does not uphold attendance policies, Passion and Performance staff reserve the right to remove the student from the performance without refund. 
• Performances are optional, but dancers must decide by the third class. Dropping out of a dance after the third class will result in rechoreographing fees. 
• Once committed, dancers cannot back out of performing and are responsible for their costume fees. In the event that they must withdraw, there is a rechoreographing fee and costumes are non-refundable.  
• Extra practices are optional, but strongly encouraged. 
• Music is not censored and profanity is often present in class. 
• If a class is cancelled for any reason other than studio closure, a make-up class may be arranged, but the class will follow the same sessional pattern as all others. 
• Choreography is the intellectual property of the choreographer and cannot be taken anywhere else without permission of the choreographer and with credit given to them.
  

Attire: 

• Students must wear proper dance attire and footwear to all practices.  All students are responsible for purchasing the required shoes for the dances as selected by the teacher.  Character shoes may be required.
  
• Chair dancers must wear tights or pants to class.
• Tie up and Tease dancers must remove all jewelry. 

Attendance Policy: 

• Students in recreational or traditional classes should provide notice for when they are not attending class. This notice is helpful in the event that class plans need to be adjusted. We do not need to know why you are not attending class – simply that you will not be there. You can notify your instructor in the Facebook Group (HYPERLINK FACBOOK GROUP PAGE) for the class.
• In the event that students do not provide notice for missing class two times, Passion and Performance reserves the right to remove the student from the class without refund.
• Withdrawal from the Traditional Program after the second week  will result in a $50 Class Drop Fee.
• Dress and tech rehearsals (HYPERLINK SOMETHING HERE) are mandatory for all performing students.
• If you are injured, please still attend class as you are able. If you are ill and may be contagious, please stay home.
