Code of Conduct
Dance classes have their own set of rules and manners. They are meant to preserve the long history of discipline in dance and show respect to the dance professionals who lead the classes. Our goal is to create an environment where students feel both nurtured and challenged. At the same time, our instructors maintain appropriate order, safety and discipline to ensure a safe, positive and educational environment, MAD reserves the right to refuse admittance to any person who jeopardizes our ability to provide such an atmosphere. Disrespectful or disruptive behaviour or language in class is not appropriate and will not be tolerated.
Mareeba Academy of Dance strives to maintain a positive learning environment for its students. Please be courteous in your dealings with our teachers. Parents displaying disrespectful or inflammatory behaviour or conduct will be asked to leave the school and such behaviour may result in the discharge of their child from the class and MAD program.
