KINDNESS + RESPECT
Our goal is to foster a positive learning environment filled with creativity and camaraderie for both our students and parents. You and your child agree to treat all participants of Reach For The Barres Dance Studio with kindness and respect. No bullying of any kind, verbally, physically or otherwise will be tolerated.
SAFETY FIRST
The safety of your child and other children is our top priority. Our Faculty are all First Aid + CPR Certified. You acknowledge that your child has no physical, emotional, or social conditions that make it dangerous or unwise for your child to safely participate in our programs. No parents, friends, or siblings are allowed in the classroom at any time. This is for the benefit of your child. They will learn more if we have their complete attention. We kindly ask that parents do not enter the class room while in class sessions, unless permitted by the class teacher. (The only exception is our Mini & Me classes, of course.) No running or climbing/hanging on any indoor or outdoor furniture please. Running in the studio is dangerous for both your child and others around them so your child agrees not to run when participating in any of our programs.
PERMISSION TO SHARE
We love promoting dance magic and sharing it with others. We may take photographs, video and/or audio (the “Media”) during our dance classes, camps and other RFTB programs to post on our social media. We are the sole owner of any Media and may use the Media in any way, in our sole discretion. You grant us permission to use your child’s image without any restriction and waive your right to inspect or approve the Media. This is particularly important as we allow all of our enrolled families to access our closed circuit cameras during their dancer’s class to watch remotely, which means we cannot omit or restrict any other students image in the class from this broadcast.
PERMISSION TO PARTICIPATE
You give your permission for your child to participate in Reach For The Barres Dance Studio programs. You release and hold Reach For The Barres Dance Studio harmless from any and all liability that may arise in connection with the studio’s programs.

DRESS CODE + SHOE REQUIREMENTS
At Reach, it is very important to be dressed appropriately for each dance class you take! Just like you wouldn’t wear a tutu to soccer practice, we would prefer you save your soccer uniform for the field! Likewise, the same thing you wear to jazz class may not be appropriate for ballet class. Dressing appropriately gives dancers confidence! It helps teachers better see body lines so they can help you become the best dancer you can be. FIND YOUR CLASS DRESS CODE AND SHOE REQUIREMENTS HERE.
