We intend for students and parents of the Phoenix performing arts to strive to behave in a positive and constructive manner at all times and to utilize truth, fairness and integrity in the development of personal decisions and relationships both inside and outside of the classroom.
Phoenix strives to offer the highest level of performing arts instruction in a positive, respectful and caring environment. In order to develop and ensure this environment, we ask all of our students and our parents/caregivers/families to abide by the following rules and code of conduct.
Phoenix Student Code of Conduct
Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct
On the occasion that repeated failure to comply with the Code of Conduct occurs, Phoenix Performing Arts reserves the right, at its discretion, to dismiss or take disciplinary action on any student or parent/guardian/family member who breach Phoenix Performing Arts’s code of conduct.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Phoenix Performing Arts admits students of any race, color, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs or any other programs.
Our dance classes require a more strict dress code to provide a clean slate for our dancers to place their movement on. Please follow these dress codes based off the classes your student is enrolled in –
Jazz- Students are required to wear black leggings or capris that are form fitted (not loose) accompanied by a solid color shirt. Jazz shoes are required (tan or black).
Adult Jazz- Dancers are required to wear black leggings, shorts or capris that are form fitting accompanied by a solid colored shirt. Jazz shoes are preferred but please speak to the instructor (Amber Coughlin) if this is not possible for you.
Ballet- Students are required to have (girls) a black leotard, ballet pink tights, ballet slippers and hair in a bun or (boys) white t-shirt or black leotard, black tights, and black ballet shoes.
Comfort and Freedom and movement are very important for our actors. We ask that those in theatre classes or attending musical rehearsal are dressed in clothing that they can move in freely, while not having anything dragging or hanging off of them. Jazz shoes are required for performances. Students are expected to obtain them before the week of the show.
Online Classes shall be held to the same level of professionalism and rapport as our in-studio classes.
Students shall arrive to classes on time. Students arriving more than 10 minutes late to a class can be disruptive, especially in an online setting. If a student knows they will be late or unable to attend, they are to reach out to the instructor at least 12 hours in advance.
Students shall remain muted unless asked by the teacher to unmute themselves for participation. Background noise can greatly affect other students’ ability to hear and interact with the instructor. *if a student has a question, they may visibly raise their hand*
Students shall be in a room where they are separated from potential distractions. This includes but is not limited to – pets, siblings, and other music/televisions.
Students shall act with respect when interacting with the students or instructors through zoom.
Students shall be sufficiently prepared for class. We ask that students have access to a video camera for classes. For vocal instruction and theatre courses, students should also have a notebook, pen or pencil and water bottle. For dance, students should be dressed in comfortable clothing that does not inhibit movement, and have water nearby.
*Dance Class Specific* – Students shall be in an area at least 6ft x 6ft that is free of potential hazards or breakable items
