Pure Studios
Code of Conduct

At Pure Studios, we expect all artists to be mindful, respectful, and professional in every aspect of their conduct. Artists should take pride in their presentation by following our dress code and coming to class prepared with all required items.
Please label all personal belongings and bring a water bottle — only water is permitted in classrooms.

If you have any questions, comments, or conflicts regarding the following policies, please contact the front desk so that we can provide clarification or reach a resolution.

1. Behavior Clause

Pure Studios is committed to maintaining a judgment-free environment that fosters joy, growth, and creativity.

Avoid distractions to other classes or activities in the building.
Speak kindly about others both inside and outside of the studio.
Refrain from questioning or challenging professional staff about choreography or song selections unless it involves religious or moral beliefs.

Three-Strike System

Pure Studios enforces a three-strike behavior policy:

Strike One: The instructor will address the behavior directly with the artist.
Strike Two: The artist will be referred to the front office for a meeting with the owner, and parents will be contacted.
Strike Three: The artist will be removed from class for one week to allow time for reflection and correction of behavior.

Use or possession of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco/vaping products on the premises.
Any form of drama, gossip, bullying, or discrimination.

Please report any misbehavior to the front desk immediately.

Artists must commit to a continuous class schedule.
All students are required to attend the final three weeks of classes and rehearsals each semester in order to perform in the showcase.
Exceptions must be discussed and approved at least one month prior to the last three weeks of class.
Pure Studios reserves the right to withhold a student from performing if they are unprepared or fail to represent the studio respectfully.

Absences

Each artist is allowed 7 unexcused absences per semester.
Absences will only be excused if the studio receives at least 2 hours’ notice before class.
Missed classes may be made up in another class (scheduled through the front office).
If an artist misses three consecutive weeks of class, their contract will be automatically terminated, and termination fees will apply.

Check-In & Punctuality

Artists must check in at the front desk upon arrival.
Please arrive 10 minutes before class begins.
Artists arriving more than 10 minutes late will not be permitted to join class that day.
If lateness is anticipated, please notify the studio in advance.
