Class Behavior and Supervision


Students are asked to be prepared to start class on time, dressed for their particular class with hair secured. Students are expected to be courteous to faculty and fellow students. WDS reserves the right to ask any students not properly attired or disrupting to leave the class.

Watts Dance Studio LLC is not responsible for items lost or misplaced. Do not leave handbags or valuables in the dressing room.

Preschool students will be kept under supervision until they are picked up after class. We are responsible for all other students during class time only. Students may arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before class and should be picked up within 10 minutes after class.
