Current Families

Regular attendance helps dancers build skills, remember choreography and stay ready for recital. Please submit absences in Ellever. Arrive 5–10 minutes early; dancers more than 10 minutes late may be asked to observe for safety. Frequent absences or tardiness can affect choreography placement and recital participation.

Please keep dancers home with a fever, vomiting or contagious symptoms until they've been symptom-free for 24 hours, and let us know about injuries or medical concerns.

If classes are canceled for weather or a facility emergency, we notify families through Ellever and by text by 2:00 pm. Scheduled breaks and occasional emergency closures are factored into tuition, and makeup options may be offered.

Tiny and Mini dancers must be walked into the building by a parent or guardian. Pick dancers up right after class; they'll wait inside until you arrive. Let the front desk know if someone else is picking up. Ovation doesn't provide childcare before or after class, so please call if you're delayed.

Parents of dancers 4 and under stay in the lobby during class. To keep classes focused, parents watch on the lobby monitors instead of entering classrooms, and messages, snacks or medication go through a staff member. Please don't coach from the lobby.

Dancers are respectful to teachers, staff, classmates and the space; arrive in dress code with hair secured; and keep phones and smartwatches silenced and put away. Water only in the studios: no gum, food or other drinks, and no street shoes on the dance floor.

Ellever is our main channel for announcements, schedules and messages. Urgent notices and closures go out by text, and billing reminders and newsletters by email. Questions and concerns go to the front desk or Director (not instructors), by appointment, email or the Ellever app. Please keep your contact and emergency info current in Ellever.

Share content that reflects Ovation's values of kindness and professionalism. Don't post rehearsal or performance content without studio permission, only post your own child unless another family gives written consent, and never include a minor's name, age or location. Studio concerns belong in official channels, not online.

We welcome dancers of all abilities. If your dancer attends with a paraprofessional, aide or therapist, let us know before the season (or as soon as the need comes up) and complete a Support Accommodation Form. We're happy to coordinate with your dancer's school or care team.

All choreography and class content belong to Ovation Dance; ask before performing it at a talent show or school event (we love to say yes!). All staff are background-checked, first aid is given by certified staff, and music and costumes are always age-appropriate.
