Classroom expectations


  • Students are expected to be in the studio & ready to learn when class begins. Arrive 15 minutes early to stretch for technique classes.

  • Follow dress code at all times, including hair in a neat bun.

  • Bring water bottles into class. A water break does not include snacking.

  • No cell phones allowed in the studios or any phone use during class.

  • Always act respectful towards your peers & OYT staff. This includes listening, respecting personal boundaries, and entering class with a good attitude.

  • Engage in appropriate conversations and consider your word choice. Younger dancers are listening. An important part of showing respect to your peers and teachers is not engaging in gossip.

  • Repeated disrespectful or inappropriate behavior can lead to being asked to sit out for the remainder of class.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at any time.  You can email Tricia at Tricia.Belsanti@gmail.com or our studio manager, Nicole at oyt.missnicole@gmail.com
