3. WHAT TO WEAR?
Dress Code Lists: -8 Week Course Dress Code
-Labeling- to ensure all dancers come home with their own belongings, please put their name in shoes and on dance bag.
4. GETTING YOUR GEAR!
Get your dance wear and shoes BEFORE you begin. To purchase from Tiny Tutus, you must make an appointment or purchase online at our boutique, and we will call you when your order is ready.
*PLEASE BE AWARE: as of now, our distributor is running about two-four weeks behind due to it being a peak season. If your dancer does not have their shoes or dance wear for the first few weeks of class, they are welcome to wear any color dance wear, active wear, socks or slippers (for jazz or tap) until their order comes in.
-Please note: shoes and dance wear (except tights) MUST be tried on with a Tutus employee before taking home. Tights can not be exchanged or returned once the package is opened.

Please click here to read our full description of Fall 2021 Covid Policies and Make up Class Procedures.
Drop off/Pick Up
We will begin accepting students 5 minutes before the class start time. Families will wait outside until we open the door. Students will enter the studio without parent. Upon entering, students will sanitize their hands. Temperatures will no longer be taken and recorded. Students will each have their own spot to sit and change shoes before entering the classroom. Parents are welcome to enter the studio with a mask to visit the front desk for any questions/payment/registration needs while classes are in session- we ask that you wait until students are in the classroom before coming inside. Merchandise- you must make an appointment starting the week of September 20th.
*For younger students, we understand the first few weeks might be tough to leave their parent. We will work with our students until they feel comfortable.
While students are in class, parents are free to wait in the car and observe class via Zoom. Please see instructions below to access your assigned Zoom code. At the end of class, parents will wait at the door until students are released by a staff member.
***Helpful Tip- please send your dancer in easy to slip on and slip off shoes (no tied shoes) to help with the flow of classes coming in and out!***
VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM!
Virtual Waiting Room Only. No Virtual Classes.
Every class (except Dance With Me 8 Week Course) has been assigned a Zoom link that will be used all year for parent's to watch class virtually. All parents should choose the "hide" option so that students are not able to see your face as this is distracting during class. Just click on the link to join! You don't need a zoom account to attend a meeting!
The zoom class code will be the same every week- save it in your notes or somewhere safe where you can copy and paste it into your browser each week! 8 Week Courses will have a new Zoom code with each new 8 week session.
To access your code, click on the link below to log in to your Parent Portal. Once in your Portal: -Click Manage Students -On the right hand side you will see a black box that says Notes. Click on the box to view your Zoom information organized by class. -Copy and paste the Zoom link into your browser and then you will need to enter your meeting ID and password Access to Parent Portal: https://dancestudio-pro.com/online/tinytutusdancecenter
Troubleshooting with Zoom: Double check your device, internet connection and most importantly, that you have the correct Zoom link! If you are not sure of your link, please check with the staff by emailing us at tinytutusdancecenter@gmail.com. We can not guarantee that staff will be available to troubleshoot or give you the link at the last minute, so please follow the directions below to check your link ahead of time.
Hiding Parents: By clicking on the three dots on one of the participants squares, and in the drop down, it will say Hide Non-Video Participants so that only the students are visible on the screen. On an iPad you will click the three dots in the top right corner and then click meeting settings then Hide Non-Video Participants. Please practice this before classes begin.
****Please keep in mind that technology and wifi are not perfect! There may be times (due to weather or unforeseen circumstances) that our wifi or devices are not cooperating. We always try our best to trouble shoot and appreciate your understanding with this!****
We are excited to see everyone and know that we are going to have a great year of dance class!!
