Dress Code & Conduct Expectations

Acceptable Studio Conduct
Students are expected to attend weekly and not miss more than 4 classes during a session. (Sessions run 15-18 weeks fall & spring, 6 weeks in the summer).
Students are not to arrive earlier than 10 minutes prior to the start of class so instructors have adequate time to prepare. Young students must be picked up punctually.
All students should bring a water bottle and leave electronics in a cubby or in their personal bag during class instruction time.
Most importantly, students are expected to act as an example of Christ while participating at Royal Stage. We have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, slander, disrespect towards instructors or colleagues, and a negatively competitive spirit.
