Studio Safety Rules

​

At Hillspire Academy, we believe dance should be a space of joy, growth, and magic — and safety is the foundation that makes all of that possible. To ensure every student feels protected, respected, and inspired, we kindly ask all visitors to follow the guidelines below:

​

​

Proper Attire & Footwear

​

• Wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothing suitable for your style of class.

• Clean dance shoes or socks only on the dance floor.

​

​

Arrive On Time

​

• Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to warm up and check in.

• Late arrivals may not be permitted if it disrupts a class or event.

​

​

Stay Hydrated & Nourished

​

• Bring a water bottle to every class.

• Avoid dancing on an empty stomach or right after a heavy meal.

​

​

Cleanliness & Personal Care

​

• Maintain personal hygiene.

• Help us keep the space tidy by disposing of trash and keeping belongings organized.

​

​

Devices & Distractions

​

• Phones should be silenced or on vibrate during class unless otherwise approved.

• No filming without instructor permission (some classes may allow short clips at the end).

​

​

Listen to Your Body

​

• Never push through pain. Communicate with your instructor if something doesn’t feel right.

• Modifications are welcome — every dancer moves at their own pace.

​

​

Respect Space & Boundaries

​

• Be aware of your surroundings and keep safe distance from others during movement.

• Consent is required before any partner work, touch-based instruction, or physical contact.

​

​

Be Kind & Encouraging

​

• Lift each other up. This is a no-bullying, no-judgment zone.

• Supportive behavior helps the magic thrive for everyone.

​

​

Children & Guests

​

• Parents and guests are welcome to quietly observe classes from the front studio area or seated at tables.

• We kindly ask that observers remain respectful and refrain from disruptive conversations, loud phone use, or coaching from the sidelines.

• Filming is only allowed with instructor permission.

​

​

Emergency Protocol

​

• In the event of an emergency, follow staff instructions immediately.

• First aid kits are available onsite. If you feel unwell, alert your instructor right away.
