Studio Guidelines & Info

We want every dancer and family to feel at home in our studio! Below you'll find a quick overview of our most important guidelines. A full Student/Parent Handbook with all details, waivers, and policies must be agreed upon prior to registering for classes on Studio Pro. You can find a link to the full MDA Studio Guidelines/Parent Handbook at the bottom of this page.

​

Dress Code:

*  Hair must be pulled back and secured away from face.

​

Attendance & Punctuality:
