Our Policies
On Stage Dance Studio, Inc Studio Agreement and Policies
On Stage takes pride in the level of excellence of its students. In order to keep this level it does take a certain level of commitment and dedication and most of all teamwork to maintain a good teaching environment. I am looking forward to an amazing year. On Stage has already established itself as a studio with incredible technique, and outstanding dancers that are instructed by professional and quality instructors that stay educated consistently in dance education.
These policies are set up to provide equal treatment of all dancers, and to make all students and parents aware of what is expected of them. I will always do my best to help resolve any situations that arise so please come to me with any questions or concerns; I can not solve problems if you do not come to me and make me aware of them no matter how small you may think they are.

We love On Stage! My oldest daughter has been dancing here for nearly 8 years and my youngest daughter is in their Twinkle Star program. My oldest has grown up in this studio that is now her second home. What started out as an interest; is now her passion. My daughter has gained so many things from the coaches here. She has grown so much with her dance skills while training here. She has learned discipline, hard work, teamwork, respect and confidence! She loves her coaches and her teammates! And I love the community it has given me and feel so lucky to be a part of it. I will always be so grateful to the staff for helping me raise talented, strong girls!
