observers can be distracting to both teachers and dancers.

5. If you need to meet with a teacher, please coordinate a time with the front desk. Please do not enter the

loud/distracting devices.

hallways. Benches are not bolted to the wall and can tip over.
NOISE POLICY
The lobby is used as the MDCD office for our front desk staff, and we greatly appreciate all efforts to keep noise at
a minimum. We encourage adult students, parents, children and siblings to use head phones in the lobby while
listening to music, watching movies, watching YouTube, etc. Excess noise distracts dancers, clients and the staff.
Please be aware of your surroundings and be respectful.
DRUG & ALCOHOL POLICY
This is a family friendly establishment. Any person either under the influence, or that smell strongly like any
substance (alcohol, marijuana, etc.) will be asked to leave the studio, as it will be assumed that person is under the
influence. We cannot allow any child or under-age person to leave with a party that is under the influence. Per our
policy, we are required to call the police and allow them to handle the issue.
Failure to comply with the request to leave, and/or becoming argumentative, will result in that person(s) being
permanently banned from the studio, and put their child or friends at risk of being permanently banned too.
