Missed Attendance
Should a student miss a class due to personal reasons:
If there is a comparable class available, the student may attend within that specific term. Please check with your teacher for an appropriate time.
Regular attendance is important for the student’s progress and the progress of the class. We understand that from time to time a class may be missed, but students who miss excessive amounts of time may be asked to withdraw from the class for the benefit of the other students.
Please note – in order to participate in the recital, students must have attended at least 80% of their classes during the year.
Lateness
A student who arrives after warm-up may be asked to sit and observe the class. Participation without proper warm-up may result in injury.
Storm Closure
If a class in cancelled due to weather conditions, classes will not be rescheduled. Students may request a make-up class if an appropriate level is available. As recital time approaches, extra classes are scheduled at no extra charge to the students, so any missed classes are indeed made up.

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.
