To ensure fairness & equality and to ensure smooth, safe running of the studio for all students and to have an enjoyable experience by all who participate/attend classes including group and private sessions here is what is expected by each and every student on studio/class policies and code of conduct.
Please if you have any questions contact: Allie Joseph najlasdance.com@gmail.com
Studio Policies:
- Please arrive to class at least 5 minutes early to avoid disrupting a class. (if your going to be late please message Allie as soon as possible don’t wait until the last minute as I may not be able to respond as I might be in another class. )
- If you can not make class you must message/text Allie as soon as you know. The earlier; the better. Waiting at the last minute should be used for emergencies only. Please message Allie Joseph @ 740-466-7590.
- No make ups/refunds/transfers/exchanges for any classes you have missed. All sales are final.
- Private sessions must be paid immediately at time of date and booking . This means we have both confirmed and I’ve sent you the link for payment that must be paid the day I send it. Please understand I can not hold your time/date without payment.
- Private sessions if you need to cancel it must be done 24 hours minimum but 48 hours is the best.
- If an emergency comes up and you need to cancel at last minute I understand things happen but if you frequently cancel at the last minute over time you may lose your private session spot and I’ll only book you as my time allows.
- If I cancel a class due to sickness or weather (winter months) it will be made up the following week which will extend our session or I will send out videos to keep us on track.
- Please ensure all phones are on vibrate or silenced in class and during sessions. If you are on call just let me know so I am aware.
- Drinks must be in a sealable container (no to go cups these leave marks and I am responsible for those marks) water bottles are ok.
- Keep small talk brief during water breaks only; to avoid disruptions in class. If you have a question about anything we are doing please ask me 🙂. I want you to have fun & learn.
- Let the teacher teach and help those students who are not sure of a move. ( Some students even adults are very self conscious) at the end of class we will either all clap to support one another or get in a circle.
- Please no gum in studio.
- Please no street shoes on the dance floor. Dance shoes only. If you have special needs please let Allie know.
- Payments are due monthly through my website to all classes as they run in 4 week sessions. Except Children’s classes run in 6 weeks sessions. Please pay on a timely manner. Do not wait until the last minute.
- Please know a class may be canceled for any given month due to low registration numbers or no sign ups at all.
- Drop ins will only be allowed once registration has closed for sessions. (day before start of class) If no one signs up for a session of a class that class will be canceled for that month.
- Preferred payment for drop ins can be done through the website. If paying cash; payment must be made before class start. ( No one will be allowed to participate without payment. )
- No one is allowed in the dance space that is not participating. I have a sitting room. If its a child I will leave the door between the studio and the sitting room open.
- Stay home if your sick and let me know that your ill so I know your not coming.
- You can contact Allie at najlasdance.com@gmail.com or http://740-466-7590.
- Please note: while I am generally always open to receive calls/messages and I do respond immediately most of the time. There may be times I am unable due to being in class or taking time off from answering messages. Please know I will usually get back with you within 24 hours.
- If you have an emergency and need to get a hold of me I will respond as soon as I am able.
- Thank You for your time and Support!
