Q: What is your winter weather policy.
A: When it comes to cancelling class due to the weather please listen to KHBT 97.7 FM for updates or call us when in doubt (515) 332 5117. We will not call every student to notify cancellations and we will not necessarily follow the school closings due to the fact that the weather can change a lot from 7 am to 4:30 pm and roads can be cleared. Please always do what you feel is safest for your family. If you don't feel safe driving in certain conditions, we understand. We have extra classes added to our schedule.  If more classes are cancelled than what is alloted, we will make them up.

Q: I've lost my shoes! What do I do?
A: Please label all dance shoes with your child's name. Should your child's shoes be left at the studio or mixed with another dancer's shoes, we can return them to you. A tote bag keeps belongings together and portable. A cover-up should be worn to and from class as this shows proper dance training. Wear dance shoes only indoors to keep them clean and in good shape.
