We are so excited to be starting our 2023/2024 Dance season. Our classes begin on Tuesday September 5th. This email will help answer any questions but if you have any additional feel free to reach out to us.
Location of classes- after many many years in our previous location we made the difficult decision to move. This was due to the condition of the space that we had but also the size. Classes are now being held at the 207 Old Harrods Creek Rd Middletown . This is near I love Tacos and Middletown Elementary School. Entrance is the first door at the back side of the building.
Waiting Room/Arrival- it is a good idea to arrive a few minutes prior to class time but not substantially too early. Many young dancers will do best if they arrive around 5 to 10 minutes before the start of class time to put their proper shoes on so when the class time starts they can enter and be ready to dance.
Parents and family members are allowed to wait in the waiting room we do have quiet activities available for siblings. If your child is enrolled in the many stars class that is a parent-child class that is done together in the parents coming to the dance room. There are no Street shoes allowed in the dance room so please remember to take shoes off prior to entering the dance room.
Observation- we are installing our closed circuit TV camera for observation.
Food and Drink- food and drink are also not allowed in the dance room.
Dress Code- for those that have already purchased their dress code items we have them at the studio. You can make an appointment to come pick it up. I will also post on the Band App, Website Forum when I'll be at the studio this weekend.

Communication-
Our La Petite specific app on the App store will be discontinued. Most of our dancers did not utilize the app and we found a better success with the band app.
Band App- the band app is a messaging/information app.

Portal- the portal is where you go to register for classes. Emails come from the portal and may sometimes go to your junk or spam files. Your registration email probably came to your regular file but when we send a mass email for all students that's when it's sometimes goes to the junk/spam.
www.lapetiteschoolofdance.com- that is our main website for informational purposes it has our policies our tuition and links. That website also has a forum where we post information.
Please check our communication wall at the studio it does have QR codes for locations of specific topics. This is where printed information is as well.
Texting or email works best to contact us. 502-794-6158 or lapetiteschoolofdance@gmail
Absences- If you need to miss class send us a text or an email and we'll let you know which makeup classes are available. It is recommended that you utilize your makeup within one month of your missed class.
Waivers- insurance requires us to have waivers on file of all of our dancers. When you registered the portal should have automatically had that as part of your registration process.
First Day-we will have a photo op area for the first day of dance class photos. Feel free to take a photo of your child. Our older dancers are welcomed to take pictures of themselves and Friends. If you post your dancer on social media please tag us we are on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Threads.
