Studio Policies

Attendance

Regular attendance is critical for consistency of training and progression.

Students must be on-time or early for all scheduled classes.
This is a physical activity that requires proper preparation to avoid unnecessary injury.

As a safety precaution, students who arrive 15 minutes after class has begun will not be permitted to dance. Late-comers will be asked to sit and observe class, as observation is a valuable learning experience.

We understand that some circumstances may prevent a student from attending class (illness, family emergency, etc). Please call or email the studio to let the instructors know your child will be unable to attend class.
