Picking Up and Dropping Off Your Child

You should plan to have your child at the studio about 15 minutes prior to the start of class.  This allows him/her plenty of time to change their clothes, visit the restroom, and fix their hair (for girls). Students who arrive to class later than ten minutes past the scheduled start time will not be allowed to dance. This is because they will have missed the initial warm-up and could subsequently injure themselves; and it is also disruptive to the teacher and the rest of the students.

Drop Off
If your child is over 6 yrs. you can just pull up to the portico and drop them off at the stairs.  If younger than 6, you may want to park and walk them in.

Pick Up
We prefer that children wait inside in the vestibule, for security reasons. Once they are out of class, we cannot be responsible for their whereabouts and we don't want anyone wandering around the parking lot.

Parents can line up outside of the portico to wait for their children.  Or, just park and come in.

Please plan on picking up your child within ten minutes of the end of their class.  If you run into a problem, call the Front Desk immediately - 703-778-3008 (or frontdesk@balletnova.org).

Children should always have clothes to wear over their dance attire.  Not only is it not professional for them to run around in leotards and tights, it could be a safety issue.

Waiting
You have a lot of options while your child is in class.  You can read a magazine and get a snack in the Community Room; get some work done quietly in the Conference Room; go shopping at one of the many nearby stores; or schedule a massage in the Massage Room (call Robin Dennis at 617-388-7955, fitpromassage@gmail.com).
