Academy Rules at the Aimee-Leigh Irish dance academy

---

Students in Class

• Dancers are expected to arrive at least 10 minutes before class to allow time to put on shoes and start class on time.
• Dancers are expected to stay until the end of the class and should not leave the hall without permission from the teachers. This includes asking to leave for a toilet break.
• Any spare time in classes and between dancing is to be used to practice and stretch. 
• Skipping ropes and stretch bands are to be brought along to every class.
• Dancers are allowed to bring along a notepad and pen to take notes of teachers feedback during class. 
• If you are unable to attend a class you MUST inform Aimee or Corale as soon as possible BEFORE the start of the class.
• Absolutely NO MOBILE PHONES to be used during class. If found to be using one, they will be confiscated and kept with teachers until the end of class. Phones can be kept in bags and used in emergencies only. 
• Dancers are expected to treat everyone within the Academy respect when at class, competitions and any other event where they are representing the Aimee-Leigh Irish Dance Academy. Rudeness, bullying or any other unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Student Uniform

• The official Aimee-Leigh uniform must be worn during lessons, competitions and at any event where you are representing the Aimee-Leigh Irish Dance Academy.
• The official uniform is purchased from Malley Sport and orders are made twice a year through Aimee.
• If you do not have the official uniform if it suggests that you wear comfortable t-shirts, shorts, leggings and white poddle (irish dance) socks. 
• Hair must be tied back off the dancers face when at class.

Parents of Dancers

• Please drop your child/children on time to class ensuring they have shoes on and drinks. 
• Please arrive on time to collect your child.
• Parents are advised to stand outside the dance hall gates and not to come into classes early to collect dancers as this disrupts the flow of class.
• Aimee or Corale will bring dancers outside once their classes have finished.
• Please inform Aimee or Corale if you will not be attending classes.
• Parents are expected to treat each other with equal respect and with the same regard in which they would like to be treated. Any form of bullying, rudeness or disrespect towards another parent or student in the Academy will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly.
• Parents are not allowed to sit in classes, unless your dancer has additional needs that requires extra support. In these circumstances, only parents with consent from Aimee or Corale can sit in at classes.  From experience through Aimee and Corale’s dancing career, parents in attendance at classes distracts the children and it can be intimidating for other dancers. 

The Aimee-Leigh Irish Dance Academy reserves the right to ask a dancer to leave the Academy at any times if the rules are not being upheld.
