SBSD sets standards for proper attire in order to encourage the best possible learning environment for all students. With that in mind, please remember that regular street clothes are never appropriate for dance class & hair should always be secured neatly off the face for dancers of all ages. Without proper shoes & attire, a student may be restricted from participating in class.

Students are expected to listen & focus in all classes. Socializing/talking during instructional time causes distraction and will not be tolerated.

Ringers should be turned off and no checking for calls/texts.

SBSD has a closed studio observation policy. Our priority is a focused environment for our students which is best achieved with only the students and teachers in the studio room during classroom instruction time. Our Poway Studio has a viewing TV in the lobby, and at the RB studio, on occasion, the doors will be kept open and parents will be invited in to watch the last few minutes of class.

No waiting or parking in handicapped spaces should occur at any time, for any reason unless the car is equipped with a handicapped sticker. Blocking traffic in either parking lot while waiting for your child to make their way out after dance class is not permitted. Please pull fully into a parking space while you wait or circle around to keep the flow of traffic moving.
