Cancellations 

There will not be a refund or make-up class offered for any inclement weather-related cancellations. Every effort will be made to avoid cancelling a class.
 

Dress Code 

All students at Teknique must follow a dress code. This is necessary as instructors need to clearly see the dancer's movements with their body. This is not only to ensure they are doing the step properly, but more importantly to avoid injury.

We will also issue a separate form indicating the shoes to be worn for each dance style (specific to the class and age of the child). Please be sure to have the proper shoes by the end of September. If the wrong shoes are purchased, you will be asked to return them and purchase the proper style for the specific class. (Please no lace-up shoes.) We do have Studio appropriate clothing for sale and that can be ordered. 

All Mini and Cutie students are welcome to wear a bodysuit, skirt, tights or socks.

All classes require the student's hair to be neatly tied back into a bun or a ponytail.

Ballet
Any bodysuit, tights or ankle socks. Skirts may be worn in class. Hair in a bun.

Acro
Any bodysuit, crop top and dance shorts, no tights or socks. Hair in a braid. T-shirts and/or jeans or pants are not permitted.

Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Musical Theatre
Dance crop top, bodysuit, dance shorts. Hair in a bun or ponytail. No pants.
 

Costumes 

We offer fundraisers to help offset the cost. We also include proper tights in with the costume balance. Every effort is made to keep the prices of costumes to a minimum. A non-refundable costume deposit (after September 30th) is required at time of registration.

Competitions
All students who are eligible to compete, must fulfill the following two requirements:
 

• must enroll in a minimum of one ballet class a week (regardless of the method they have chosen to compete with)

• must also be enrolled in a stretch and strength class 
   

All students will attend their regular scheduled classes as well as their competitive classes.
