Thank you for choosing to dance at Joyful Soles!

We consider it an honor and a privilege to instruct your Dancers, Thespians and Vocalists. Our goal is to provide excellent training in a loving and supportive environment. We look for the “Amazing” in each student and create opportunities for them to use their giftings and acquired skills to glorify God.

The following information allows our Joyful Soles Families to work as a team toward this goal. It’s a collection of answers and information that you need to know for our dancing season.

Communication

Email is our primary mode of communication. Via email, you will receive; your monthly tuition statement, event reminders, weather closures etc. Please be sure the email you use in Jackrabbit is current. If you have any questions about enrollment, placement, policies, billing, or need to let us know your dancer will be absent, please contact Miss Tami at joyfulsolesdance@live.com or call 720-318-6220.

Who’s Who

Mustard Seeds 1 and Mustard Seeds 2 = Pre-school dancers ages 3-5

Mustard Seeds 3A = Elementary school dancers ages K5-6

Mustard Seeds 3B = dancers ages 6-7

Arrival to Departure

Arrival: Please have dancers arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins in dress code attire, hair secured according to class requirements, and with a water bottle. If you have multiple items, please store in a dance bag. Please begin stretching.

ALL DANCERS – Please stay in the designated waiting area for your class until invited by your instructor to enter the classroom .

When class is finished, please pack up and head home promptly so other dancers can use our cubbies. For their safety, dancers are not allowed to wait outside.

Parents, if you can text to let your dancer know you are waiting outside, that would be ideal. If texting isn’t an option, dancers may wait inside and watch for you through the front door. When they see you waiting they may exit.

Quiet Please

Our space is small, and our walls are thin. Teachers and students can hear conversations in the hallways, on the stairs and in the kitchen. Please give each class the opportunity to learn without distraction.

Drinks Policy

Please, teachers, dancers and family members, WATER ONLY!  Water bottles should have a spill resistant top (no open tops). Sticky and sugary drinks invite ants into our studio and stain our carpet. All dancers are welcome to refill water bottles in the kitchen.

Food Policy

Please only bring non-crumbly snacks. Let’s not feed the ants! We have resident sugar ants in the alley behind the studio. They delight in the tiniest crumb and appear from seemingly nowhere when food is present. Meat sticks, protein bars, and pre-cut fruit are great snacks for dancers.  If your dancer has more than two classes and needs to bring a meal, please remind them to clean up their space in the kitchen and eating area when they are done. Paper towels and a handheld vacuum are available in the kitchen.

No Nuts Policy

For the safety of dancers with sever tree nut and/or peanut allergies, we ask that you leave these snacks at home. Please do not send any snacks containing nuts or peanuts to the dance studio. Also, if these are eaten prior to arrival at the studio, please have your dancer wash their hands. Thank you for your help keeping our dancers safe.

Welcome to Joyful Soles where the joy in our hearts puts a leap in our steps.
