Student Information

Find out all you need to know about how our studio runs, and the expectations for students.

Attendance

Regular attendance is vital for students to develop and keep abreast of their work. Students must be punctual. If late, please enter quietly, apologise to the teacher and join in with minimal disruption. Please let us know if a student will be absent for a prolonged time.

 

Uniform

All students must be appropriately dressed for class with correct dance footwear. No excess jewellery to be worn including watches. Please see the gear shop or website for uniform requirements. It is expected that all students must be wearing the La Muse regulation uniform within 4 weeks from joining our studio. Students must wear uniform at all lessons.

​

Hair

Hair is to be neatly groomed and secured off the face. From Grade 1 Ballet and above, all ballet students must have a tidy, classical bun. Any student inappropriately dressed will unfortunately not be able to participate in class due to health and safety reasons.

​

Water

Water in a bottle with a lid is allowed in class but absolutely no food or other drinks are to be bought in to classes in the studios. We have chilled, filtered water available in the student kitchen for students to refill their drink bottles at any time.

​

Studio Etiquette

Please respect the studios, changing rooms, bathroom and student kitchen as a shared space that needs to be kept clean and tidy for everyone to use. Place bags on the shelves provided to keep the foyer floor clear and safe. Use the bins provided for your rubbish and recycling. Students await the teacher before entering a studio. Student are not to touch any equipment including mats, props, stereo system or iPads without instruction from a teacher.

​

Viewing Classes

Limited space is available in the studio for viewing classes and we have viewing windows so you can observe from outside of the studios. Viewing of classes is only permitted up until Grade 2/Intro 3. All classes above these levels are closed classes. Viewing week is during the final week of the term and dates will be indicated on the studio calendar.

Please no noise when viewing a class within the studio. Teachers should not have to ask parents viewing to be quiet, our aim is for our students to be able to focus on their teacher and therefore require the space to be distraction free. No food is to be consumed by anyone viewing in the studios, which includes additional children/pre-schoolers.

​

Talk to your teacher

If you are needing to talk to your child's teacher, often there is not sufficient time to do so between classes as teachers will be preparing or starting their next class. Please either email or message, and if needed, a time can be arranged for them to contact you. Please be considerate of teachers personal lives outside of studio hours. Although you can text or email 24 hours a day, we are not always working and will respond as quickly as we can.

​

Notices and Newsletters

Correspondence is sent via email so it is essential that your enrolment form indicates an email address that is frequently checked. Please add lamuseaccounts@yahoo.co.nz to your contacts so the emails do not end up in your junk mail. Our studio emails come from a bulk email provider (Mailchimp) so be careful not to unsubscribe accidentally!

​

Changing your enrolment

For any students wanting to change classes, switch days, or add or cancel classes, please email lamuseaccounts@yahoo.co.nz to enquire. Please provide at least 1 months notice for changes, to assist with class rolls and invoicing.

​

Lost property

Name your uniform and your shoes! Try to collect all your belongings before leaving, anything left behind at the end of each day will be put in the lost property bin in the changing room. All items remaining at the end of each year will be donated to charity.
