Dress Code

Students must be properly dressed for dance class. MLAOD feels it is important that the teachers are able to see the lines and movements of the dancers during group practices. All students are to be respectful of this request. This ensures that the dancers are doing the steps safely and correctly. Jeans may not be worn to class. No street shoes or gum is allowed in the studio.

Important Things to Remember:

Stop in to Miss Lisa's office to check your dancer in and to pay for your lessons. If any student is paying in full for the dance season, they will receive THREE free lessons. This must be paid before the first Saturday class. No exceptions. 

Miss Lisa's office is ONLY for the teachers, desk help and Miss Lisa's assistant teachers. Parents and dancers are not allowed to be in this area. Please respect this. Thank you. 

Parents are NOT allowed to watch classes in session. I feel this takes away from the learning process for your dancer. I have a catered event in January to celebrate your dancers journey with a HUGE open house. Parents are allowed to watch classes in session at that time.

Remember that we have multiple ways of getting down to the studio: Back entrance is the most popular way (faces the YMCA), we have access to the Broadway entrance. You may take the stairs down or we have an elevator ONLY for those in need. Please respect the studio and the building we are in.

Dance postcards will be sent out. We have classes that are open to students, but don't wait! Once a class fills, we sadly cannot accept your dancer into that class. Our dance year starts at the end of September. We start the week of September 18th. If you do not receive your dance postcard, please let Miss Lisa know. 

We are so excited to see our familiar dancers and our new dancing faces this season!!!! Thank you for your continued support and loyalty to my dancing school. Come see what we love to do.
