- To be eligible, dancers must have danced with Sole Expressions at least half of their high school career.
- Dances must be approved by at least two teachers prior to programs being printed.
Recital Video Link
- Each family is required (by AVP Media) to pre-purchase a recital video link in order to continue this service. The $40.00 DVD fee will be collected via EFT over 8 months, $5.00 per month. An email will be sent out notifying families when the link is ready.
Attire
- We ask that our students come to class dressed in proper dance attire, no jeans or regular school clothing (tights, leotards, appropriate footwear, etc.). Tank tops/t shirts and jazz pants/leggings/capris are allowed, if they are snug fitting. It is important to be able to see each student’s legs, feet and arms for proper form and placement. Please also purchase leather or canvas dance shoes for your dancer. These may be puchased through us. If a child continually comes to class without shoes or appropriate dance attire, they will be asked to sit and watch class, rather than participate.
- Hair must be secured off of face and wear little to no jewelry for your safety.
- Caramel jazz shoes, ballet pink ballet shoes, black hip hop sneakers (updated July 2023) and black tap shoes will be required for the spring recital.
Food and Drink
- We ask that food and drink be left in the lobby area, with the exception of water bottles.
- Dancers are responsible for cleaning up and disposing of their own trash.
- No gum chewing during class.
Child Supervision
- We are not responsible for supervised or unsupervised children who choose to leave our facility. No student is allowed to cross the highway for any reason.
Lobby
- Access to the lobby will remain limited.
- Sole Expressions is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.
- Persons responsible for falsely pulling fire alarms will be held accountable for associated fees.
Cancellations
- Should Viroqua or Westby Public Schools close, dismiss early, or cancel after school activities for any weather related reason, there will be no dance classes held on that day. If there is more than one weather related cancellation of the same class in a month, we will schedule a make-up day.
Parking
- Sole Expressions offers plenty of parking in the main lot. Please be aware that this parking lot is also used by the other tenants in the building, so we ask that children are carefully supervised in and around this area. Families may enter our entrance on the North side of the building, where our facility is located. The alternate entrances are for other businesses in the building.
Communication
- Our website will contain all of the pertinent information for much of the year. Please take time to navigate through the site, as this will be the best resource for information.
- Please sign up for Remind.
- We strongly encourage each family to provide a current email address, for specific messages or updates.
- Of course we want our families to feel free to contact us whenever they need, so on our contact page you will find our dance email addresses, and we will try to get back to you promptly. Please also know that we are school teachers, so we are unavailable to answer phone calls or emails during school hours. We know questions and concerns come up, especially around recital time, so please do not hesitate to ask! Please allow 48 hours for a response.
