Dear Parents,

Lakewood Dance Academy opens for Summer Session classes and Summer Camps June 7th. Our staff is committed to creating meaningful and engaging experiences for our students while maintaining the highest standards of health and safety. We are so excited to be dancing this summer!

CLASS SIZES / VISITORS

All classes are in-person with an option to Zoom in remotely, and class sizes are limited to 12 or fewer students. The lobby is now open to visitors during weekly classes. We encourage parents and caregivers to drop off and pick up for camps.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Masks are no longer required for in-person classes. You are most welcome to wear one at any time. Our staff is fully vaccinated and we will continue to use social distancing, hand cleaning, air purification and steam mopping to mitigate the spread of any airborne or surface viruses and bacteria.

SUMMER CAMP

Half day students bring a water bottle and peanut-free snack. Students may wear any athletic or dance clothing. Full day students bring a water bottle and snack and lunch. Students may bring a "paint shirt" or covering for craft time. 

I hope this is helpful in your planning. Please let me know if you have further questions or if I can help.

Tuition is due by the 10th of the month for classes and camps in the coming month. Accounts with a card on file are processed on the 5th of each month. Summer camps and classes are one time payments. Weekly classes during the school year  and summer session are due monthly. 

If your child is absent he/she/they are welcome to take a make-up class with any class in the same age range. Additionally, we have pre-recorded classes for students to take as a make-up. We do not pro-rate for missed classes or closures due to inclement weather.

Students should be timely to class, prepared mentally and physically to participate, and wearing appropriate dress for class. Students are expected to participate fully in class unless they are ill or injured. Students should raise a hand to be called on and give their teacher full attention and speak respectfully in class, encouraging peers and leading by example.

Food, gum, jewelry, and cell phones are not allowed in the dance studio. Students should not be in the dance studio without instructor permission.
