In the event of inclement weather, please check your email, call the studio or check the studio Facebook page, Instagram or website at www.hudsonriverperformingarts.com for closing information.
We communicate primarily through email. Please read all correspondence that is sent home via email or on paper. The majority of the questions asked are answered in this material.
For the health and safety of all, please keep your child home if they are sick.
Participation in our annual ballet and recital is optional, though usually all students participate. Costume payments are non-refundable once orders are placed. A placed costume order is taken as your commitment to participate in the ballet/recital and classes through the end of the year.
Please feel free to stop in to our upstairs lobby with questions, tuition payments, or catch a glimpse of the beginning or end of your dancer’s class. We ask that you do not stay the whole class or use the waiting room as a play area for siblings. Please note that students in level 3 or below (including Hip Hop 1) must be escorted to and from class by a responsible adult. Students in level 4 and above may walk themselves up and down from class. Our downstairs lobby remains closed due to lack of space. The studio opens 15 minutes before the first class and closes after the end of the last class. If you drop off and pick up, please be timely out of consideration for our staff. Siblings may not be left unattended in waiting areas.
Tuition payments and all paperwork needs to be handed into the office and not given to instructors.
Students will place their belongings in their dance bag and put their bag in a cubby upstairs or in the downstairs lobby. Lockers in the studio are for our company members. Cell phones will be turned off or silenced. If you need to reach your student during class, please call the office.
Contacting teachers outside of class is prohibited. All questions or communications care of HRPAC instructors must go through the office.
Students are required to follow our Student Dress Code; please see the Dress Code information page for details.
If there is a matter you would like to discuss, please call the studio at (845)896-1888 or email at hrpac205@gmail.com. ALL communication for studio business needs to be handled in this manner. Please do not use other forms of communication, including using personal phone numbers, texts, or messaging on personal Facebook pages. Thank you for your understanding.
