EXPECTATIONS

At Studio SEVEN, we believe every dancer deserves the same support, encouragement, and opportunity to learn, no matter their age. Being part of the SEVEN Sweeties team is something special, and we are excited to help each dancer grow in confidence, teamwork, and love for dance.

Our goal is to create a positive and healthy environment where dancers learn the importance of trying their best, practicing, and supporting their teammates.

Because dance is a team activity, each dancer’s effort helps the whole team shine. When everyone comes ready to listen, learn, and give their best effort, it helps create a fun and successful experience for all members of the SEVEN Sweeties.

STUDIO SEVEN TRANSFER STUDENT POLICY:

Any student may transfer into our studio as a SEVEN SWEETIES member with the fulfillment of a private audition if SEVEN Sweeties Auditions are missed.

GENERAL SEVEN SWEETIES TEAM REQUIREMENTS

  • Competition classes should take priority over other extracurricular activities. To help families plan ahead, we provide a Year-at-a-Glance calendar at the beginning of the season outlining all important dates and commitments.

    • Families whose dancers participate in school, church, or other activities are encouraged to share this calendar with teachers, coaches, and sponsors so they are aware of Studio Seven’s schedule and competition commitments.

  • Tardy & Attendance policy: A private lesson (at the expense of dancer/family) with your instructor or an assistant must be set up after you have been tardy or absent to 3 or more SEVEN Sweeties Rehearsal or required class (more than 10 minutes late or absent) a semeste if deemed necessary by an instructor. While this is meant to help the dancer stay up to date with their choreography and any changes made in the missed rehearsal, it does NOT help them with formations, spacing, transitions, etc so please continue to make class attendance a priority. 

  • All financial obligations must be met promptly and are not optional.

    • LATE FEES WILL APPLY ON OVERDUE ACCOUNTS. ($10 per week. Max $40 per month)

    • Overdue accounts will not be eligible to compete, with no refund/ reimbursement.

  • Conversing in a negative manner towards SEVEN Sweeties members, faculty, Studio SEVEN families, or any other connections with Studio SEVEN will not be tolerated and will be cause for dismissal from Studio SEVEN.

Studio SEVEN’s biggest concern is that your child possesses a personal desire to be involved in our performing arts program. Please thoroughly explain all guidelines and expectations for SEVEN Sweeties teams to your child, regardless of their age, so that there are no misunderstandings throughout the year.
