Drop Policy:
  

• Any dancer who wants to drop or unenroll from a class must notify FCDC by email.

• There are no refunds on any fees already due or paid (tuition, registration, recital, etc.) for those who choose to drop mid-season. ​

​

Sick Policy:

• Any dancer who is sick/contagious should stay home until they are better. Your dancer must be fever-free for at least 24 hours before returning to the studio.

• After being sick/contagious, a doctor's note releasing them for activity will be required for us to keep on file. ​

​​

Classroom:

• We kindly request that parents remain in the lobby during classes and observe from the monitor, as having parents in the room can be a significant distraction to students.

• No gum or food should be eaten during class, as this can be a danger to dancers.

• Dance bags should be stored in the room with our TBJ and combo classes, as this facilitates the easiest shoe transition.

• Please pick up students on time or let us know if you will be running late. We also ask that parents come all the way up to the door or come inside to pick up their student(s). Help us keep your kiddos safe!​​​​​

​​

Dress Code:

• Dancers should be in appropriate attire for class to ensure the safety of all students. This includes wearing fitted clothing such as a leotard and tights or leggings for ALL classes other than tap and hip-hop.

• Cover-ups or looser-fitting clothes may be worn for tap and hip-hop classes.

• No loose jewelry is allowed as it can be distracting and dangerous, especially in acro.

• Dancers should wear their hair in a ponytail or bun.

• Dance shoes should NEVER be worn outside the studio because this can damage them and the dance floor.

​

Bad Weather:

• As we all know, Texas weather can be VERY unpredictable! We do our best to keep everyone safe when bad weather arises, as we have staff, students, and families coming to take class from San Marcos and MANY surrounding towns!

• If class must be canceled due to bad weather, your dancer may choose to attend ANY other class on the schedule for their age/level as a make-up.​

 

Drop-off & Pick-up:

• Please do not drop off your student unattended more than 15 minutes before their class start time. You may always come as early as needed if you will be staying to supervise your dancer before class.

• Please pick up students on time or let us know if you will be running late.​

• We will not allow students under the age of 9 to walk to their guardian's car in the lot by themselves or with a staff member. You are responsible for coming to the door and physically bringing them out of the building. Students 9 or older are permitted to walk to their guardian's car, supervised by a staff member, until they reach their vehicle and make contact with their guardian.

​

Studio Lobby:

• ​Dancers and siblings should not be left unattended in our lobby areas. We want to ensure everyone stays safe and injury-free at the studio.

• Please do not allow your kids to run in the hallway or stand by the front doors/desk unattended.
