Studio Policies and Academic Guidelines
These policies provide clarity and consistency for families enrolled at Destiny Dance Institute. As a higher dance education institute, our standards are designed to support disciplined training, steady progression, and a focused learning environment. Clear expectations allow dancers to develop responsibility, professionalism, and respect for the educational process.
Consistent attendance is required for technical development and steady progression. Tuition is not refundable or prorated for missed classes.
Each dancer may schedule up to five make up classes per academic year through the Parent Portal. Make up classes end April 30. Weather related closures are announced on official studio platforms and do not qualify for make up classes.
Written notice of withdrawal must be emailed to info@destinydanceinstitute.marketmuscles.dev

Dress code compliance supports safe instruction and a focused learning environment. Full guidelines are available through the website and studio app.
Required attire for Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theater, and early childhood classes must be purchased through Destiny Dance Institute. Hip Hop attire must meet studio standards. All dancers must be in full dress code by October.
A parent or guardian must remain in the building during class to support safety and comfort.
Recitals are a required part of dance education. Performance assignments are based on class enrollment and instructional needs. Siblings or dancers of different ages may perform in separate shows.
Performance dates are announced during the season.
Studios are instructional spaces. Only enrolled dancers may enter studio rooms. Siblings and guests are not permitted to ensure safety and focused instruction.
