ATTENDANCE

• A minimum attendance level is required.  Students missing more than 5 classes after March may not be allowed to participate in the year-end dance recital regardless if a costume has been paid for or not.

• Missed classes may be made up by attending a class of same level.  Only registered students may make up class.

 TARDINESS

• Punctuality is a must.  Please bring children prepared for class and on time.

• Students arriving after class has begun are considered late and  may be asked to sit out the remainder of class and observe. Warm up is critical in preventing injury and to enhance the productivity of the class. Young students are easily disrupted when latecomers arrive.  Please make every effort to be on time.

• When watching your child through our windows, please do not communicate with them, as it is a distraction to the students and the instructors.
