Code of Conduct Students & Parents
Ashland Regional Ballet/ Opus II Dance Studio
Code of Conduct for Students/Parents
ARB/OPUS does not use dance or the studio to take a stance on social or political issues. We do, however, applaud and encourage the creativity of our students as they learn the craft and artistry of dance.
When registering for classes at Opus II Dance Studio (Opus) and/or being a member of Ashland Regional Ballet (ARB) both the dancer and their parent/guardian(s) agree to the following Code of Conduct.
1. I will be an ambassador of ARB/OPUS and represent the very best of the studio/company.
2. I will treat all members of our staff, parents, and students with respect and kindness and will help to sustain an inclusive environment where all dancers are supported, regardless of age, level, or hours.
3. I will be friendly and have compassion for others.
4. I will treat others as teammates and encourage their improvement.
5. I understand that there is zero tolerance for bullying of any kind whether it be in person, on social media, email or texting.
6. I understand that posting false and defamatory statements or the use of ARB/OPUS social media accounts for personal disputes is prohibited and places me at risk of being blocked from these accounts. If I participate in social media, I will keep it positive and appropriate.
7. For concerns, the preferred means of communication is through email.
8. I will trust and abide by directors’ decisions with regards to my/my child’s class level and casting, as well as dance selections for performances.
9. I will honor my commitments to ARB/OPUS, fellow dancers, parents and teachers.
10. We expect our more experienced dancers to set a good example and serve as role models for our less experienced dancers.
11. Student Assistants in dance classes are role models and need to recognize that your students are watching you, not just in class, but all the time.
12. I will communicate with our School Director, Artistic Director, or a teacher if I have concerns about a class or about a situation regarding ARB/OPUS.
