1. No food/drinks other than water inside studios. 

2. Students should not bring cell phones, air pods, or smart watches into the dance room. If dancers are wearing these in class, they will be asked to remove & take to the front desk until class is over.

3. All children (6 & under) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times, unless they are in class.

4. All children (7 & up) who are being dropped off (unaccompanied by a parent) may arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled class time and leave 15 minutes after. It is a safety risk to have unaccompanied children wandering the studio and/or parking lot. 

5. No parents, friends, or siblings are allowed in dance rooms & we ask observers to avoid distracting dancers by tapping on the glass, talking loudly, gesturing, etc). This is for the benefit of all dancers who will learn more if we have their complete attention.

6. No street shoes allowed in the dance room. 

7. Abide by the studio/class dress code as listed on our website.

Dancers 6 & Below- You will need to escort your dancer to and from the dance room. Please take your dancer to the restroom BEFORE class begins to avoid accidents & disruptions to class.

​

Dancers 7 & Up: We welcome you to escort your dancer to and from class if you would like to do so. Once your dancer is familiar with SDA, you are also welcome to drop them off at the front door and have them wait in the lobby. Please be sure to drop them off and pick them up within 15 minutes of their scheduled class time.

If your dancer misses due to illness or other personal reasons, they will be able to make up for the missed class in a similar class. There will be no discount or refund given for missed classes. There are no make-ups for classes missed when the studio is officially closed for holidays, etc. All classes missed due to inclement weather can be made up. All makeup classes must be completed within 1 month of the missed class. You can schedule your makeup class through your parent portal. 

We require a 30-day written notice via email if you need to withdraw from SDA. Please email info@sunnyvaledanceacademy.com to withdraw from our 2024-2025 season. After the 30-day notice, we will terminate your monthly installment, or, if a full year was paid, we will refund the remaining installments minus 30%. 

This withdrawal policy remains in effect even if we have a shelter in place mandate from the federal, state or local government. In the event of a shelter in place, classes will convert to virtual classes and instruction will continue. 

Proper shoes & attire must be worn to participate in class. Hair should be pulled back off the face for all classes. A proper bun must be worn for ballet class. Don't forget to write your name in all shoes, bags, etc. You can find descriptions and examples of the proper attire for each class in the Classes section of our website. Note: The shoes listed will be the shoes required for Recital. Please pay attention to the color/style and if you have any questions, please contact our office at info@sunnyvaledanceacademy.com prior to purchasing. 

To ensure our students are focused & able to maximize learning we have door shades which help to block out distractions from noise and parents in the windows. With that said, we also want our parents to have the opportunity to view/track their dancer's progress so we have created a system that balances both considerations.

​

Door shades/windows will be open:

1. First 2 weeks of the season

2. First week of the month open (other than right before recital - April/May)

3. When we have a student trialing a class or a new student

4. Sunny Weeks
