We offer “You & Me” classes for dancers under the age of 3, with a guardian.Independent dance classes begin at age 3 (dancers must be fully potty-trained). Yourdancer must meet the age guidelines for class by December 31st of the season.

At arrival, expect to be greeted by our Front Desk Staff and other dancers. Dancers should immediately find a cubby and change into their dance shoes (combo classes always start with tap). Keep dance bags and personal belongings in your cubby and bring all dance shoes needed for class with you to the line-up door with your water bottle, if desired. Wait with your backs on the wall until your teacher greets you and escortsyou into the dance studio. Parents do not need to check-in dancers at the Front Desk;your dancer’s instructor will take attendance daily.

Our dance season starts August 7, 2023 and ends May 25, 2024 (39 weeks of classes). Please see the studio calendar for studio closures throughout the season.

If your dancer is going to miss class, please log their absence in your Parent Portal tonotify ADFS. You may schedule a “make-up class” for the absence during anotherclass of the same level within two weeks by emailing info@adfslv.com. Remember,regular attendance ensures the progression of not only your dancer but the entireclass. We appreciate your dedication to making dance a priority.
ADFS reserves theright to refuse service if the make-up class was not scheduled due to class sizes. Adoctor’s note may be requested for frequent absences. ADFS reserves the right torefuse make-ups for frequent absences and may drop your dancers from a class ifthere are more than 3 absences in a row, with no refunds. Absence from class doesnot count towards the required 30-day notice required to cancel your dancer’senrollment. You are responsible for all tuition until enrollment is canceled in writing.Make-ups cannot be guaranteed during recital preparation; your dedication toregular attendance during recital season ensures the success of your dancer and ourshow.

By enforcing a dress code, dancers learn responsibility and self-awareness and are not distracted in class by clothing or hair. Proper dance attire allows teachers to see the dancers’ bodies for correct alignment and placement to prevent injury. Without a dress code, dance class can quickly turn into a dress-up party. All the items needed for dance class are available for purchase from our studio boutique. Please see the Dress Code Section or DSP for complete details.

We have observation windows for viewing. Please do not distract your dancers by talking to them or tapping on the windows. Do not open the classroom doors during classes. If you need to speak to your dancer or the teacher, please ask the Front Desk Staff.

We appreciate you dropping off your dancer in the lobby and helping young dancers into their dance shoes to their classroom line-up door. Level I+ dancers may be droppedoff and picked up curbside, but we do not allow dancers to walk across the parking lotunescorted. If you park, please exit your car and meet your dancers on the sidewalk.

We will host Bring-A-Friend events for friends to join in the fun, with no commitment. We offer free trials for friends interested in registering for the class. Email info@adfslv.com for more information. Liability Release Forms must be completed before dancing with us.

ADFS takes pride in being a happy and healthy learning environment. We love to recognize our dancers for showing one of our STAR attributes; A: attitude, D: discipline, F:focus, S: success. Awards are nominated by our staff and presented throughout the season.

Absolutely! We hope you find comfort in knowing that your child is in good hands while you run home, do errands, or enjoy some quiet time in the car. To ensure the safety of our dance family, we are limiting access to the common areas of the dance studio.Please drop-off and pick-up safely.

Your dancer’s safety is our top priority. If you are running late to pick-up, we ask that you call our Front Desk team so that we can make sure your dancer remains with our staff until you arrive. Dancers are never allowed to wait outside the studio for pick-up. In the event of frequent late pick-ups (longer than 15 minutes after class dismissal or closing business hours), ADFS reserves the right to charge your DSP account $1/minute beyond the dancer’s dismissal time; a courtesy email will be sent before charges apply.
