There are 6 doors at the CDT studio that lead to the outside. For security reasons, however, everyone entering and exiting the building should pass through the entrance of suite A - the door with our sign over it. All other doors are considered emergency exits only, and are to remain closed and locked unless there is an emergency.

Students’ pictures may be used for marketing. Please inform the office in writing if you do not wish for you or your family member’s photo to be used for promotional purposes. Otherwise, per this agreement, it is understood that you and your family member’s picture can be used to represent Chattanooga Dance Theatre. Students names may also be used in programs and on the backs of T-shirts.

Class Placement

It is imperative that all students attend classes on their level. Faculty puts much time and thought into class placement for each student, for the benefit of each student. If you have any questions about your class placement please contact the office or your teacher.

Dress Code

Correct dress code is required for all classes. Please see the brochure, office, Dance Works, or website for correct dress code for your class. Dance attire can be purchased at local stores: Dance Stuff, or The Batterie or online at If you have any questions about what to purchase please contact the office or your teacher. Bun lessons will be taught to all ballet classes on the first meeting of the class.

Attendance

There is no refund for missed classes. Classes will also not be prorated for family holidays and/or vacations. Students are encouraged to make up missed classes in a class that is the same level or lower level than the class they are enrolled. Attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. CDT cannot jeopardize its responsibilities to the rest of the class for one student. Please make every effort to have yourself and/or your student at every class.

Teacher placement is still required for attending all classes. If you are dropping in, make sure to check with the teacher and office to confirm which classes are best suited for your level of dance. Because you are not working consistently in a particular class, you may not be able to take as high of a level of class if you are dropping in.

Holidays

Holiday schedules will be posted on the website and at the studio. Please note that the CDT holiday schedule may be different fromyour school holiday schedule.

Inclement Weather

CDT will not necessarily close if area schools are closed. We will make every effort to hold class. If weather is questionable please check the studio’s website, or Facebook, or Twitter pages.
