1. Respect for Others:
Students and Parents are requested to treat others as they would expect to be treated themselves. Negative comments about others appearance or ability are not welcomed. Positivity and encouragement are, Danzation is a happy place for children and all members and their families are requested to invest in that.

2. Commitment:
Whilst it is appreciated that absence is sometimes unavoidable students and parents are asked to make every effort to attend. For performances this is especially important, if you will not be available come the time of a public performance (dates of performances are published well in advance) please inform me as soon as possible, students can still be part of the class building up to the performance if I know they are not going to be there as I can plan around this, however someone dropping out in the weeks preceding a performance can have a catastrophic effect on the outcome, denting the morale of the team and not fulfilling the full joy potential that the children deserve as a return for their efforts and hard work.

3. Clothing and appearance:
Danzation is a community dance school and as such there are no barriers to entry. Students however should arrive in suitable attire for dance e.g. T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, or dance wear and some form of appropriate footwear. The school T-shirt is available for purchase at reception. Jeans or school uniform with shoes is not appropriate. If further advice is required please ask. Students are reminded that they are ambassadors for Danzation and their families so please act in a manner befitting.

4. Safety:
Danzation has a Child Protection Policy and Health and Safety Policy and parents are requested to be aware of these policies in the interest of serving the wellbeing of the children. Parents are asked to disclose any medical information, allergies or injuries that students may have on the registration form and to provide any amendments to this information if necessary. Parents are also asked to recognize that as with any physical activity there can be a risk of injury and therefore release Danzation and its teachers from any liability.

5. Interruptions:
Parents are requested to drop off and collect their children in a timely manner, firstly for there safety and secondly to minimise disturbances to the class. Parents are also politely asked to recognise that sitting in on class is not permitted (exceptions on speaking to class teacher). It is appreciated that parents like to see the progress there children are making, however the presence of an adult within the classroom usually has an effect on the students, making them more self conscious and causing a general distraction. Parents will get the opportunity to see there children perform as Danzation holds regular demonstrations of work and this is the arena in which parents are requested to view there Childs progress.

6. Photography and Filming:
Photography and filming by parents or students during class is strictly prohibited. During events Danzation may employ a photographer to take still images or video footage which is then made available for Parents and Students as keepsakes. These images may also be used to advertise Danzation in differing forms of marketing including appearing on the Danzation website. When registering to become a member of Danzation a parental consent form for use of images of children will be required to be signed. Parents and spectators at events wishing to photograph or film the event are to be aware of the expectations which are explained in The Child Protection Policy
