The Pointe Dance Centre’s Social Media Policy refers to all social networking sites, video/photo sharing sites, blogs, micro-blogs, wikis, podcasts, forums, instant messaging and geo-spatial tagging (for example, Facebook check-ins).
Please see below for our policies regarding Social Media and feel free to contact our office staff if you have any questions.
Intellectual property laws (for example, costume design and choreography) must be observed by all studio patrons when posting online.
While affiliated with our studio, (for example, images of your child in The Pointe Dance Centre uniform) we will not tolerate any posts that are racially, sexually, physically or religiously offensive.
All matters pertaining directly to the studio - whether it be fees, scheduling, placements or performance opportunities - may not be communicated via Social Media. We have an open door policy and encourage all communication, complaints and feedback to be communicated to us directly.
We discourage instructors from becoming ‘friends’ or ‘followers’ of families or students on Social Media, unless there is an existing relationship. We consider all studio members to be family and as such feel the obligation to respect and monitor personal boundaries.
Photos or Videos taken from performances or rehearsals may NOT be posted online, except with the permission of the students shown.
You may not post photographs / videos that feature The Pointe Dance Centre dancers other than your own online without the consent of their parent/guardian.
Identifying information of any featured minors - including names, ages or location - must be removed when posting on Social Media.
