PEANUT, or SESAME SEED products to the studio. We appreciate your help in keeping the studio safe for

VALUABLES:
ViBE provides plenty of cubbies and hooks in change rooms during class. Please leave all
valuables (jewelry, ipods, cell phones, etc) at home. ViBE is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
LOST AND FOUND:
Any items found at the studio will be placed in the Lost & Found bin located in the change
rooms. At certain times during the year, with notice, the items in the Lost & Found will be donated to charity.

SNACK STOP:
ViBE has a fully stocked Snack Stop which provides nut-free and peanut-free snacks and drinks.
We remind you that food and drinks are not permitted in the dance class; however we welcome water bottles.
Inquire about a Snack Stop Card available for $10, $15 and $20. Purchase the Snack Stop Card from the front
desk or in the Snack Stop and eliminate the need to bring money for a snack or drink every week.
STUDIO ENTRANCES AND EXITS:
Each dance studio is equipped with clearly marked "In Door" and "Out Door"
signs. Please use the appropriate door in order to help with the flow of dancers entering and exiting each class.
We appreciate your co-operation.
LAST 10 MINUTES OF CLASS:
At ViBE, parents are able to view the dance class when the studio blinds open for
the last 10 minutes of every class. This is a good opportunity to allow dancers to gain confidence by
performing for an audience. Please keep in mind that this is "work-in-progress" and it is difficult to predict the
reactions of the dancers. Flash photography and video-cameras are prohibited. We appreciate your on-going
support, understanding--and smiles when the blinds open!!
MAKE-UP CLASSES :
Unique to ViBE, we offer make up classes to dancers who were unable to attend their
regularly scheduled class. A dancer may attend the same class as the one they missed on a different day and
time offered on our schedule. Make-up class lists are available at the front desk and are not recommended
during ViBE Annual Events. (Refer to the Calendar of Events.)
CALENDAR OF EVENTS:
As a courtesy to parents, we provide a list of important dates for studio closures and
special events. Please post the Calendar of Events somewhere visible in your home as reference.

DANCE CLASS APPROPRIATENESS:
During September and October, the ViBE Faculty will assess the
appropriateness of all dancers in their classes. Our goal is to ensure that all dancers are challenged and having
fun in classes that are appropriate for their ability, age, and level. If we believe a class change would be more
suitable for your child, we will contact you with recommendations. We appreciate your support in this
assessment process, as we have your child's best interest at heart.
