• Find our black door with Jubilee logo and go inside!

• All belongings and shoes can be stored in the white cubbies, but water bottles should be brought up to the studio.

• At the top of the stairs, locate the digital check-in and sign your student(s) in!

• Parents and siblings are welcome to stay in the Office, just off the studio. Please refrain from walking through the studio during class. If you choose to stay in the Office, please remain there for the duration of class. Snacks are often available by donation.

• Thank your teacher!

• Grab all your things, wait till your parents signs you out, and head home

• Parents, please be on time and sign out on check-in sheet
  *If anyone other than you is picking up your student, you MUST email your teacher directly in advance!

TIMELINESS - If you need to come to the studio early to get dressed, you are welcome to do so. Students are not under official supervision of the teacher until the start time of class, so parents of younger students may need to stay until that time unless arranged prior to class. Please do not come more than 5-10 minutes before class. Teachers use this time to get ready without distraction, and you may be asked to wait outside until the appropriate time. Thank you!

Students are expected to arrive on time or a few minutes early to class. The beginning of class is usually a warm up or a devotional (the order can often change) and it is very important that students are present for these both from a safety standpoint with getting in a proper warm up to prepare the body for the dancing it is about to do, as well as for the spiritual and communal aspects we hope to provide for students. If a student is showing up regularly late to class even by a few minutes, we will inquire as to how a solution can be reached. Regarding the attendance policy below, a late arrival of 15 minutes or more will count toward an absence, per teacher discretion. As always, it is much appreciated if an email can be sent directly to teachers in advance of either late arrival or absence. With classes being tight on time, we want all students to receive the full breadth of instruction and experience they have signed up for.

ATTENDANCE - If a student misses more than 5 classes in the fall semester or 6 in spring, they may not be able to perform on stage in their class’s dance.

• They are allowed to make up for as many as they need to with a paid private lesson if the teacher is available and finds this sufficient.

• If the reason for the additional absences is health related, a doctor’s note may be required and exceptions can be made in communication with the teacher and studio director.

• If you are nearing or exceeding the number of allowed absences and your participation in the show is at risk, you will be notified by your teacher via email.

• Please always check in via the iPad to ensure we know you were present for class.

Our time with your students is precious and limited, so parents must inform their kids to go to the bathroom before class and should accompany them downstairs to the bathroom. In the event a student needs to go during class, the teacher will have to stop class and bring the whole class downstairs to use the bathroom. This is for everyone’s safety since we do not have more than one adult teaching class at a time. Please take care of this before class!

Parents may stay in our office room during class if need be. Siblings who can play quietly are also welcome. Parents and siblings may not be in the dance studio during class (though exceptions can be made for new dancers and young ones having difficulty adjusting, in which case, parents must participate in class with the dancer rather than sit and watch on the side for the first class or two). Otherwise, we ask you wait till Parent Week or the recital season to see what we’ve been working on!

We keep our performance fee low by working as a community to cover the volunteer roles necessary at our shows. In order to keep everything well organized all families are asked to help in some capacity during our end of semester show. We expect each family will provide a volunteer for at least one role per show. (For example: check-in, class helper, usher, load-in/out etc.) Plus, it is loads of fun! Each role will generally not exceed 3 volunteer hours of your time per semester, but as always you are welcome and encouraged to jump in as you are able to help in additional capacities. (You are also welcome to have family or friends cover your role if that is what is best for your family.)

Students are permitted to video class choreography at the end of class for the sole purpose of practicing at home. They are prohibited from posting on social media, however, due to matters of privacy. Teachers will not be expected to video choreography from class to send out--if students would like a video from which to practice, they will need to arrange that by using their own device or having a fellow student share with them.

Great question! You should notify your teacher right away so she can make sure to be able to zoom you into class from home! 24 hours notice is appreciated and at least 4 hours required, as there may be a case where your teacher is unprepared to do a zoom class if she is notified last minute. Please stay home and clear out a space to dance and imagine that you are in the studio for class! We cannot offer makeup classes at this time. Students may opt for a paid private lesson with a teacher if necessary.

In keeping with our desire that dance be joyful and encouraging, we do not require that dancers perform at the final showcase.

Your costume and show fee can be removed from your tuition due if you notify us prior to your account being pulled. Once a payment is made it is non-refundable. If you notify us of your decision not to perform after you have paid, we can credit those fees to your account. If costumes have already been purchased (typically mid-semester) the fees cannot be refunded or credited to your account.

• Late Pick Up Fee: If you pick up your student from class over 10 min after the class has ended, an additional $10 will be charged. In the event of an emergency, please contact the teacher of the class as soon as possible.

• Other Fees: See our Pricing page

Because we have students with life-threatening allergies to peanuts and tree nuts, our studio is a nut-free area. Please do not bring any products with nuts into the studio. We have allergy-friendly snacks available for purchase in the office.

Parking at the Central Studio is limited in the lot shared by Jubilee Dance and Black Goat Fitness. Please drop off students promptly and exit the parking lot to make room for other arriving families.

Street parking is also available one block away on Augusta Ave and Lidgerwood Street.
