To ensure a conducive and enriching learning environment, we kindly ask all dancers and families to adhere to the Charleston Dance Center’s studio policies.

Class Attendance & Tardiness
Late Arrival Policy
Students arriving 15 minutes late to class may be asked to observe the class rather than participate. Timeliness is essential for a safe and effective dance experience. Dancers who arrive late to class may not have sufficient time for proper stretching, increasing the risk of potential injuries.
Minimum Attendance & Cancellation
To ensure the best learning experience for all participants, we require a minimum number of students to be present for each class to be held successfully. Typically, this number is six.
Failure to attend class or consistently arriving late may lead to class cancellations due to poor attendance. Please be aware that classes canceled for this reason will not be rescheduled by CDC.
Student Drop-Off
Dancers cannot be dropped off more than 15 minutes before class time.
Please pick up your child promptly after class. While our front desk is staffed, CDC cannot supervise children left after class. It is crucial for the safety and well-being of our dancers that they are not left unattended, especially since there may be another class scheduled afterward.
Thank you for understanding that our drop-off and pick-up policy is to ensure the safety of our dancers and faculty.
Etiquette
At Charleston Dance Center, we value respect, kindness, and teamwork. We encourage all dancers to exhibit good manners, support their fellow dancers, and show appreciation to our faculty and staff. Together, let’s create a positive and uplifting dance community where everyone can thrive and shine.
If you have any questions or need further clarification on any of our studio policies, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to support you on your dance journey and make it a truly enriching experience for all!
