Dance Etc. School of the Arts

Hygiene & Cleanliness

It is important to remember that dance is a physical art-form executed in a group setting. In a dance studio where activities induce sweat and children are moving through the space, extreme body odors can become a terrible distraction and an embarrassment for the child if a classmate is insensitive and says something out loud.

This check list is a friendly reminder so that all individuals experience a pleasant environment:

Be sure all dancewear is laundered after each wearing - please do not wear already worn, dirty, soiled, or musty clothing to class or store it in your dance bag.
Please be sure to thoroughly clean all body parts, including feet, ears, toes, collar, and any areas confined in tight clothing.
Hair should be clean and pulled up properly, meaning off the shoulders and neck, away from the face and securely tied in a bun that is not going to fall down or out in the normal course of dance activity.
Please, no excessive perfume or body spray prior to class as this may aggravate allergies of other students.
Please wipe the toilet seat when appropriate.
No food is allowed in bathrooms. It is a health hazard to consume food in the same location as bodily waste.
Do not store any food or beverage (except water) in your dance bag as this will cause a stench and invite vermin to inhabit your bag and the studio.
