Please feel free to contact the studio for our full dress code.

 

Inclement Weather / Closings

​

DWHS does not always close when area schools do; in-service days, weather delays, and some holiday closings do not affect studio classes.  If there is inclement weather, an e-mail will be sent from DWHS before 11am (on the day of classes) if we will be closed.  If we are not closing, no email will be sent.

​

Scheduled Closings

  • Labor Day (1st Monday in September)

  • Halloween (October 31st)

  • Thanksgiving Week (November)

  • Holiday Break (2 week hiatus in December…TBD)

  • Spring Break (1 week…TBD)

  • Memorial Day (Last Monday of May)

 

Visitor Week

​

Held during the weeks of Halloween and Valentine’s Day.  Parents are encouraged to come and watch their child’s progress in-class during these dates.  These 2 weeks are also designated for “bring a friend” in which the children are allowed to bring a friend to their dance classes (for free) so their friend may dance with them.
