It is important for the instructor to be able to see the line of the body while teaching to insure proper technique. Generally, female students are required to wear a leotard and tights for ballet, Pointe, jazz, and tap classes. Little shorts, a ballet skirt, or jazz/yoga pants can be added as an extra layer. Male students should wear a t-shirt and sweatpants or shorts. Tap, Hip Hop, Modern, Choreography, and Musical Theater students should wear comfortable clothing that allows movement and will not be in the way while moving. Jeans or other street clothing are NOT appropriate and not allowed in class.

Ballet, Pointe, jazz, and tap students are required to have the appropriate shoes. Hip Hop students need light soled, clean tennis shoes.

Long hair MUST be pulled back away from the face. Gum, cell phones, and jewelry are not allowed in class. Water in a closed container only is allowed in the studios.

Visitors may observe classes on the 1st lesson in the months of November, February and May. Special permission for visits can be granted on request – please check in advance.

Students will perform in three shows throughout the regular season (September-June).  Costumes, tights, t-shirts, awards, tickets, and a digital download of the show are INCLUDED in your monthly tuition.

Other optional dance opportunities will be available through community events such as parades & fairs and may or may not require extra cost..

Rising Phoenix Dance Center is not responsible for lost or stolen articles. Place your name on all dancewear, including shoes. Keep valuables with you or leave them at home.

As a general rule, we will follow Anoka/Hennepin School District #11 in regards to cancelling classes due to bad weather. Refunds are not given for cancelled classes; however, students are always encouraged to make up missed classes and we will do our best to provide a make-up class for instances where we needed to cancel. Cancelled classes will be communicated via email, posted on our Facebook page and possibly the occasional text message.
