CLASS PLACEMENT

Previous experience does not automatically guarantee your level of placement. Students will be placed according to ability into the next level at the discretion of the instructor. The school director and teacher take into consideration not only age and ability but also the level of commitment, emotional maturity, and physical ability. Evaluation will take place on a monthly basis. Written evaluations will be given in January and June.

ATTENDANCE

Students are expected and encouraged to attend class on a regular basis. Missed classes affect personal progress as well as class progress. Please try not to miss more than 4 classes during our dance year.

Please show consideration to your teacher and arrive on time. Anyone arriving late to class may be asked not to take the class, or to leave.

Please notify the studio In the event of an illness, in order for us to best determine a make-up schedule, also if you are going to be late it is essential the teacher knows, and it is also polite. You must notify the studio at least one hour prior to missing a class. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the opportunity of a make-up class.

Please keep in mind that you are paying to hold your place in a class, as well as for choreography in the June Show. If you need to miss class due to outside activities, sports, etc, you are still required to pay the full amount for tuition whether you attend or not.
