STUDIO ETIQUETTE
The Baddie Code: Respect the Space. Respect Each Other. Own Your Confidence.
Welcome to Certified Baddie Dance Studio! 💖
Our studio is more than just a place to dance. It's a community where people of all backgrounds, bodies, and experience levels can show up, express themselves, and build confidence without judgment.
To keep our space safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone, we ask all Baddies to follow these studio etiquette guidelines.
By attending a class, workshop, or event, you agree to respect the following expectations.
💖 1. Respect Every Baddie
Be kind, encouraging, and respectful to fellow students, instructors, and staff.
We have dancers of all levels, from absolute beginners to experienced performers. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable learning.
No bullying, discrimination, body-shaming, gossiping, harassment, or inappropriate comments.
Be mindful of personal space and avoid touching others without their consent.
Celebrate each other's wins! We're here to uplift, not compete.
Remember: Confidence looks different on everyone, and there's room for ALL of us to shine.
🧼 2. Personal Hygiene
Dance is a physical activity, and we share an intimate studio space. Please be mindful of your personal hygiene out of respect for those around you.
Arrive wearing clean workout attire.
Wear deodorant and maintain good personal hygiene before attending class.
Avoid excessive perfumes, body sprays, or strong fragrances, as some students may have sensitivities.
Bring a personal towel if needed and clean up after yourself.
If you're feeling sick or experiencing contagious symptoms, please stay home and recover.
Dispose of tissues, wipes, and other personal items in the trash.
A fresh Baddie is a considerate Baddie! 💕
👠 3. Proper Dance Attire & Footwear
We want you to feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly, SAFE while dancing!
Heels are optional for beginner heels classes unless otherwise specified. You're always welcome to dance in sneakers or socks!
Ankle support is key! We strongly recommend dance heels with secure ankle straps or ankle support, especially for beginners. Stability is more important than heel height!
Need dance heels? We recommend Burju Heels, designed with dancers in mind! Shop Burju and use our commission code SYLVIE at checkout.
Wearing Pleasers? Scuff guards are required to protect our studio floors and your shoes.
Protect our floors! Please avoid shoes with exposed metal heel tips, sharp edges, or anything that could scratch or damage the flooring.
Dress for movement! Wear clothing that allows you to move comfortably and safely. Knee pads are highly recommended for classes that include floorwork.
Express yourself! Whether you feel your best in leggings, shorts, or your favorite matching set, wear whatever makes you feel confident.
Follow any additional footwear or attire requirements listed for specialty classes.
Remember: You don't need heels, a certain outfit, or a specific body type to be a Certified Baddie. Come as you are! 💖
✅ 4. Class Check-In
All students are required to check in before EVERY class, regardless of membership status or whether you've already booked online.
Please check in with our front desk team when you arrive.
If no front desk staff member is present, you must check in directly with your instructor before class begins.
Do not assume you're automatically checked in because you've reserved your spot online.
This applies to everyone, including members, regular students, and first-timers.
Failure to check in may result in being marked absent and receiving an applicable no-show fee.
Checking in helps us maintain accurate attendance records, keep classes running smoothly, and ensure everyone is accounted for.
⏰ 5. Arrive on Time
We understand life happens, but arriving on time helps create a safe and uninterrupted class experience.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled class.
Be ready to participate when class begins.
Late arrivals may be denied entry at the instructor's or management's discretion, especially if the warm-up has been missed.
If you arrive late and are permitted to join, enter quietly and follow your instructor's directions.
Do not interrupt the instructor to ask what you missed.
Arriving late does not exempt you from our cancellation or no-show policies.
Warm-ups are an important part of preventing injuries, so please plan accordingly!
🤫 6. Talking During Class
We LOVE that our Baddies make friends and connect with each other! However, excessive talking can distract instructors and other students.
Keep side conversations to a minimum while the instructor is teaching.
Please do not talk over the instructor during explanations, demonstrations, or corrections.
Save longer conversations for water breaks or after class.
Feel free to ask questions about choreography when the instructor opens the floor for questions.
Be mindful that others may be concentrating or trying to hear the music.
We're here to have fun, but also to learn! Let's make sure everyone gets that opportunity.
