Oh, boy, here I go:

1. Please DO NOT send your child to class wearing jeans, and then get mad at ME when I make them sit out! And please try to understand that dress code is for every class, not just when it's convenient for you.

2. Please do not ask me to rearrange schedules or move Recital & picture days, to suit your schedule & plans. I cannot make everyone happy, and I have lots of factors to consider when making these choices.

3. Please do not leave your non-dancing children at the studio during class so you can run errands or shop. I am a dance teacher NOT a babysitter

4. Please don't barge into class to speak to me, I AM WORKING! Please call ahead to make an appointment.

5. Please do not expect me to be understanding if your child misses class to see the hairdresser or go to a birthday party. And dont even THINK about asking for a refund in those instances.

6. If your child decides to quit dance, please let me know, I am not psychic. If you're worried I'll get mad, you should see me when you DON'T call!

7. Please pay your bills. On time. Please. I don't want to have to send Bruno, the Knee-cap specialist, to pay you a visit. Because that's what I feel like doing to parents who blow off my bills and give me lame excuses.

8. Don't be a pushy stage parent. It's unbecoming.

9. Don't complain about my prices. I am not ripping you off.

10. If you really don't like the way I do things, you're free to go somewhere else and see if they'll put up with you.


Wow, that sure makes a person feel better!
