These policies are to help with the safety of students, help the studio function in an efficient manner, and, above all, provide students with an unparalleled dance experience.
Parents, please review the policies with your child. This document outlines requirements each student will be held to during their entire duration of dancing with Captivating Dance by Nona.
Our policies are in place to ensure the safety of all students and the smooth operation of the studio. Please review these guidelines with your child.
Parents are responsible for monitoring siblings not in lessons. If a student has time between classes and is not being picked up or with a parent during that time, they must wait quietly. They may do homework or watch class, but are not to disrupt class or leave studio without signed waiver by parent or legal guardian.
No Food or Drink is allowed inside studio, except water. No gum chewing is allowed. Cell phones need to be silenced in the studio. No talking on cell phones in studio unless permission is given from instructor. Classes are closed to onlookers. If you would like to view a class, classes will be open for viewing during the last week of each month.
It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure their student has proper attire and bottle of water for every class.
Captivating Dance by Nona is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal property. PLEASE LABEL all your dancer’s belongings: Shoes, dance attire, outerwear, water bottles, etc. Proper language and good behavior are required at all times by students, family members, instructors, and staff members. If a student is disruptive or disrespectful their parent or guardian will be contacted and asked to have them pick their dancer up from the studio.
If improper language or improper behavior (disrespecting peers, property, instructors, staff members, gossip, talking in class, etc.) is considered to be a problem according to the instructor, the student’s enrollment may be terminated. Termination of student’s enrollment is at the owner’s discretion and prior notice is not required.
A student’s enrollment may be terminated if they or one of their family members refuses to cooperate with the guidelines set forth by Captivating Dance by Nona or if a student or one of their family member creates a negative impact and/or scene for our students, instructors, staff, and/or other family members. Student enrollment may also be terminated for soliciting other students to join another studio. Nona reserves the right to terminate student enrollment at any time.
Students will be placed in class according to their age and ability. There may be class changes as the season progresses. These alterations are for the benefit of the student, so they can get the most out of their training.
Any choreography learned by a student is sole property of the studio. Permission must be granted by the studio for a student to use studio choreography at any venue where the member is not with the studio or acting on behalf of the studio.

Students must be picked up no later that 10 minutes after class. Please notify the studio if you cannot get your student to or from class on time. This applies to rehearsals and performances.
For your child’s safety, ensure your student is with an instructor and in a lesson before leaving.
Termination of or Withdrawal from Class(s)
If you drop or withdraw from a class for any reason, a full month’s notice or 30 days must be given to the studio (in writing or by email). If you choose to withdraw from any class in the middle of the month, you will still be charged for the entire month.

Social Media
Today, social networking is such a huge part of our lives, for both adults and children. CDBN wants to do whatever it can to keep our dancers safe, including from actions resulting from the use of social media. Please follow our simple guideline:
Any pictures taken at the CDBN dance studios and/or CDBN attended events can only be posted if you have explicit permission from CDBN faculty, the dancer and/or their parents (especially of our younger dancers) to post on other sites.
Dancers must remember that families have different rules for internet/social networking usage. Many parents do NOT want their children’s pictures or statements/tags referencing their child on the Internet. Please be mindful and respectful of other people’s privacy.
In addition, remember that you represent CDBN and its reputation, especially when at the studio, competitions, conventions, or anytime you are wearing CDBN dance attire. To that end, be mindful of your conduct.
