STUDIO POLICIES
Arrive on Time
Be ready to start class on time. Arrive a few minutes early to allow time to sign in, change clothes etc. It’s important to participate in the warm up and cool-down sections of class in order to not incur injure. If you arrive late, warm yourself up in the back of class and join class when ready. If you have to leave early, be sure to do some cool down stretches on your own as soon as you can.
Dress Code
Wear comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement but does not inhibit instructor from seeing your movement. Please refrain from wearing heavy perfumes in class as it causes respiratory problems in some people. Also please observe good hygiene. We all perspire in class so please wear deodorant.
Classroom Etiquette
Respect the space
Please honor your teacher, classmates, and class time by keeping conversations for before or after class. During class, let’s stay fully present in the dance.
Questions & missed classes
All technique and choreography questions should be directed to your instructor. If you miss a class, please make it up by attending another session within the series or scheduling a private lesson. (Private coaching is available at $150/hr.) Kindly do not ask classmates to reteach missed material.
Sharing insights
If you’d like to offer input when another student asks a question, please check with the instructor first. Everyone’s understanding may differ, and we want to ensure consistency with the techniques and philosophy being taught.
Come prepared
Bring your notebook, hip scarf, and—for intermediate classes—zills and veil, so you’re ready to dive in. Hip scarves and finger cymbals are also available for purchase at the studio.
Advancement
Students advance to the next level once they accomplish the objectives of each level. All students must ‘test out’ to move to the next level. Once they test out they can join the next level at the start of the next new session
Performances
The school offers an annual student recital shows in which all students may participate. Other performance opportunities are available to intermediate and higher dancers. Those who agree to participate in performance opportunities must be currently enrolled in class, must attend all rehearsals unless excused by the director & have the required costuming.
Intellectual property
Students understand that all choreographies & dance combos taught at the studio are the intellectual property of Carrie Konyha / Lotus School of Bellydance and may not be used outside of class or student performances without permission from the choreographer.
Termination
Students may be suspended or expelled from the school for disruptive behavior or non-payment of tuition in which case the student is still responsible for the debt. I reserve the right to dismiss students from class that are being disruptive, rude, intoxicated or otherwise causing disturbance.
