Regular attendance is important for the student’s progress and the progress of the class. We understand that a class may be missed from time to time, but students who miss excessive amounts of time may be asked to withdraw from the class for the benefit of the other students.

Street clothing will not be tolerated in dance classes. Students will not be permitted to attend classes unless proper dancewear as listed above is worn.
Hair must be worn in a neat fashion off the face and neck. Intermediate/advanced students must wear hair fastened securely in a bun or similar style. There are practical as well as aesthetic reasons for this. Body alignment is critical in dance, and the teacher must be able to see the line of the student’s body from the neck down. Hair on the neck can prevent this.
