The following guidelines have been implemented in order to develop and improve the standards, structure and efficiency of the school, to reflect the standards in the profession and to ensure all students get the most out of their training.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES and EXPECTATIONS:

• Please ensure you arrive 5 minutes early. The session will start on time and lessons should not be disrupted once they have started. If you know you will be late, please text or get your parents to text Marianna on 0777 167 6629 or Andrea on 0787 230 5539 as this may affect the lesson plans.

• Students are expected to be self-disciplined; dedicated and hard working and disruptive behavior is not tolerated as it slows the lesson down and distracts other students. A high level of self-discipline is expected at all times in order for every student to achieve their highest potential and to fulfill their goals and dreams.

• You will please treat other students how you wish to be treated yourself. All students are expected to support and encourage their peers. This helps to build confidence and harmony within the group.

• All mobile phones are to be switched off during the session unless there is a special circumstance which requires their immediate response.

• You MUST bring a bottle of water with you to each session. You will feel thirsty after your dance classes and you will need to have water to hand during your singing lessons.

• Light snacks may only to be eaten during the breaks in between sessions. All students are expected to treat the premises with respect and clean up after themselves.

• Gum is not permitted at Triple Threat. The lessons can be very physical. Gum can inhibit your performing and can be dangerous if accidentally inhaled or swallowed.

• Please dress appropriately. (See Dress Code.)

• If you have any issues or concerns, please speak to one of your coaches who will always be happy to help you resolve the matter.  All the tutors are very approachable and are always available to speak with you at the end of each session or off the premises if the situation so requires. 


PARENT/GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITIES and EXPECTATIONS:

• Please ensure all fees are paid in advance before the start of each term.

• Please ensure your son/daughter arrives 5 minutes early & enters the school safely. The session will start on time and lessons should not to be disrupted once they have started.

• Please ensure your son/daughter is dressed appropriately. (See Dress Code.)

• Please inform the school of any health or emotional issues that may affect your sons/daughters training.


AUDITIONS FOR END-OF-YEAR PRODUCTIONS:

• The castings of our shows are based on the integrity of the show, the suitability for the role, historical reliability & attitude of the student and the number of parts available.

• Casting will be competitive with limited lead roles available. Triple Threat expects all students to accept their role in a professional manner - without exception.

• Triple Threat encourages all students to perform for the art rather than for the ego.  It is the quality of a performance that counts – NOT the quantity of lines or solos.

• If at first you don’t succeed, try, try & try again. Professional performers do not give up easily.

• The casting of a show is the decision of the Director/Musical Director and Choreographer. Their decision is final.

•If any student has a concern about their role in a show, they must speak to one of the coaches.

• Students cannot be cast in the show unless ALL fees are sent in by the date given on the invoice. Fees are not refundable. 


DISCIPLINARY POLICY:

Triple Threat has a three-warning policy to resolve behavioral problems or lack of self-discipline. 

The first warning is given verbally to the student. The second warning is discussed with the student and parents/guardians. The third warning is discussed again with both the student and the parents/guardians.   

If problems persist and cannot be resolved any other way, the student will be excluded from the school. Fees will not be refundable under these circumstances. 


DRESS CODE:

As a school that promotes individuality and self-expression within a self-disciplined environment, Triple Threat does not have a uniform. It does however have a dress code. Due to the requirements of the Dance sessions students are advised to wear the following attire:

GIRLS: Jazz top & Jazz pants or leotard & tights. Footwear should be Jazz shoes or Jazz boots. Fitted t-shirts and tracksuit bottoms are also acceptable.

BOYS: Fitted T-shirt/vest or muscle top, tracksuit bottoms, Jazz shoes or Jazz boots.

Students may NOT wear jeans, or any other restrictive clothing in the dance class. Absolutely no jewellery should be worn and long hair should be tied back. Drama and Dance sessions may become quite physical and rings and earrings can get caught on clothing and create a hazard.

Students may wish to bring a change of clothes and a jumper or tracksuit top is recommended after the dance classes.

For Acting and Singing sessions tracksuits & trainers are recommended.
