Dress Code

This year we have been trying to implement our dress code to all classes and all levels. It is important that we continue to follow this code. Please see the dress code attachment to understand what your child should and should not be wearing to class.

Hip Hop dancers: Please remember to wear clean tennis shoes to hip hop. Please do not wear them to and from the studio. Both our dressing room and girls bathroom have shelves and cubbies for storing your outdoor shoes while you are in class.

Inclement Weather

We follow Henrico County Schools. If they close due to inclement weather, we will then close.

To be sure you can call the studio to hear the voicemail, check our Facebook page, or check the home page to our website (www.westendacademy.com scroll down, and you will see Facebook updates on this page).

Car Pool Lane

Please remember that our carpool lane is not for parking. It is used for the convenience of dropping off and picking up students. Please be courteous and use the parking lot to park you cars. We would also like to ask that you drive slow and with caution in our parking lot. This is a business that has many children coming and going ever hour.
