Student Placement - On Q Dance Center is a technique based studio that provides the same professional training whether the student is taking dance as a recreational or casual experience, a competitive experience, or is striving to become a professional.  After discussion with the parent, the Artistic Director may place a student in a different class level or style that will achieve the greatest benefit to the child based primarily on the students technical ability, with age of student as a secondary consideration.  Students will not be placed into a class strictly at the will of the parent as such non-professional practice may cause harm to the child's ability to learn and their self esteem.  Class sizes are limited and number of students per class is decided at the Artistic Directors discretion based on age, ability, and student expectations.  Classes may be cancelled if there are 5 or less students enrolled in a class.  Optionally, students may be asked by the Artistic Director to combine into a similar type class. 

Inclement Weather - On Q Dance Center does not match or follow any specific school district for inclement weather school closings.  Although all the schools may be closed, we may be open if the weather has sufficiently improved.  Please rely on WTVG Channel 13 news channel and the WTVG Channel 13 website for any class cancelations due to inclement weather. 

Observing My Child - Parents have the opportunity to observe their child through a television monitor in the lobby so that the student may get the full uninterrupted benefit of the class.  Observance times take place the first two weeks of the month with each class room on a different week.  Observance months are October, November, February, March & April.  Observance weeks may be reschedule due to holidays or the Artistic Directors discretion.

Students - All students are expected to give the utmost respect to all instructors and fellow students.  When performing outside of On Q, students & parents are expected to have good sportsmanship and etiquette. All students are expected to follow the dress code and arrive on time for class.  Water is the only food substance allowed in the dance rooms.

Parents:
Communication -
Please do not approach the teachers or coaches between classes.  Please do not hesitate to leave a message at the desk, in the drop box, or email the Artistic Director if you have any questions or concerns about ANYTHING that involves your child and your child's class, the instructor or coach, or ANY other concern.  The Artistic Director will follow up with you ASAP.  It is your responsibility to provide us with updated contact information including a valid email address.  We communicate via email whenever possible and you will receive your monthly account statement via email.  If you do not have an email address it is your responsibility to come into the studio and check the bulletin board or the studio communication binder on the desk for any studio information.
Student Absence -
If your child is going to be absent from class due to illness or other reasons, please email us or call the studio and let us know that they will be absent.  Students with a fever will not be allowed to take class.  Please follow the advice of the CDC where influenza or flu like symptoms are concerned.         Behavior - Any malicious or other unwelcomed behavior towards another student, parent, staff, and good name of On Q Dance Center will cause immediately expulsion from the studio at the discretion of the Artistic Director, forfeiting any paid tuition.
Lobby - No parent is permitted to leave a sibling of a student unsupervised in any area of the studio at any time.  Food and drink other than water is not allowed in the lobby.  If you choose not to respect the rules, then you choose to pay for any service we require to clean or repair damage caused by your spilled foods.
After Class - Parents are expected to pick up their child promptly at the end of their class.

Artistic Director - The Artistic Director decision is final in all instruction matters of the dance studio including but not limited to student placement, music, costumes, choreography, auditions of any type, competition venues, parade and performance venues.
