Policies

The following OSUD policies help ensure students' safety and well-being at the dance studio.

• Registration and general communications with OSUD take place by email.
• Every student must complete the online OSUD registration, including the signed waiver, prior to their first class.
• Students who are unwell should stay home. We request an email to explain their absence for our records.
• Students should be fully prepared to dance prior to arriving at the studio. This includes having hair done, having dance attire on underneath street clothes, and having dance shoes easily accessible in one bag to limit extra clothing items being brought into the dance space.
• Dancers must have their own water bottles. A water bottle filling station is located on the first floor.
• Due to allergies, 200 Crichton St. is a nut- and peanut-free building.
• Additional protocols may be put in place as appropriate.​​
