Welcome to the Movement Space

We ask you to please help us establish and carry out the following studio procedures and guidelines.

• Prepare for class by entering the building with quiet voices and feet.  Remember other people work in the building and we must not run or use shouting voices. 
  
• Quiet and calm must be maintained in the lobby at all times. 
  
• Please bring a quiet activity for all children not participating in class.  The lobby must remain a peaceful and safe environment for your child and others. 
  
• Please commit to consistent attendance.  We feel that in order to further your study in any art form a full season of class experience is vital.  Consistency and perseverance in any pursuit teach life long lessons of the growth that comes from commitment.
  
• Upon entering the Movement Space, please mark your child's name in the roll sheet at the front desk.
