If dishonorable conduct becomes an issue, we will respectfully discipline the child as we see fit with the circumstances in mind, and with the permission of the child’s parents.
• VDC reserves the right to suspend students from the studio, as well as, from registering and attending classes due to dishonorable behavior.
• We do not foresee a student’s behavior becoming a problem to the extremes listed above; however, in the event this does occur, we must be prepared.

These policies have been put into place to ensure that The Vault Dance Complex runs smoothly and each child has a pleasurable experience throughout the year. We hope you will refer to it as a handbook or guideline to answer any question that may arise. The Vault Dance Complex is fun and rewarding. Thank you so much for allowing us the chance to teach the art of dance to your child. Dance is life!
