Dancers must use good time management skills to ensure they do not miss class. If a student misses 3 or more classes without due cause it may be considered as misconduct and may result in disciplinary action. 

​​

If a student is late to class multiple times it may be considered as misconduct and may result in disciplinary action.

• PARENT OBSERVATION: Parents are not permitted to observe classes. They are to drop students off at the beginning of class and then return 5 minutes prior to the end of class. This will allow for your dancer to be more capable of focusing on their class and build independence.  The observation of class is only permitted on the first day of class for our new Starlet (Ages 3-6) dancers.
