Other Information
If your child is ill, please allow them to recuperate at home.
Please wait QUIETLY and respectfully if you come to watch. We will have dedicated watching days
for parents, grandparents and siblings to come and watch. Parents will not be allowed to watch
every lesson as this can be distracting to the dancers, and not everyone’s mommy and daddy can
make it every week and this can upset the dancers when their parent is not there.
Whilst every reasonable caution is taken, Beyond the Barre nor its staff cannot be held liable for
any accident or injury sustained during class time or at any of our venues.
Please be prompt when fetching your dancer.
Remember to switch all phones to silent mode during classes
Please show an interest in your child’s progress, we all need emotional support and encouragement.
Coming to dance should be their pleasure, not only ours as parents and teachers.
Parent teacher discussions are very welcome but must be held out of class time.
No eating or toys permitted during class time
Drinking water is THE BEST, bring along a bottle of water.
Neither I nor the venue are responsible for forgotten items or lost property.
Teach your dancer to pack EVERYTHING in their ballet bags.
Mark all items clearly with your child’s name/initials.
Anything that is not marked will be donated to charity
Please take care that you leave all areas (especially the bathroom) better than you found them
Private lessons may be necessary for students when 3 classes are missed and catch up is needed.
These will be a further R200 per half hour.
Should there be less than 6 students per class we reserve the right to make necessary timetable and
venue changes and will try our best to accommodate all.
