Hello and welcome to a new year of dance!

 

Mark your calendars now for our recital on Saturday, June 16^th, 2012.  

 

Please review the website for the registration form and studio calendar for the 2011-2012 dance year.  Please post the calendar where you will see it often, as it is full of very important dates that you will want to remember for the entire year.

 

Please Note:  Anyone arriving late for class, meaning after the teacher has started the class, may be asked to watch class and not participate, depending on class level.  It is important for injury prevention that the appropriate warm-up take place before the dancer proceeds through class and late arrival does not allow for a proper warm-up. Please call the studio if you know you are going to be late for class.

 

Attendance Policy:  Parents/Guardians must report all absences prior to class time.  The school must be notified if a student (a) will be absent due to illness, (b) will be absent for an extended period of time, or (c) is ceasing to take lessons.  Taking a student out of class early will cost him/her valuable curriculum work and is disruptive for the entire class.  Please arrange appointments and activities around the dance class schedule to avoid absences.

 

Late Fee Policy:  If one half (1/2) of a 10 week pay period balance is not paid by the 1st week or if the total balance is not paid by the 6th week of that pay period, a $10.00 per week late fee will accrue until the balance is paid in full.

 

Dress Code Addendum:  Students arriving unprepared for class will be asked to sit and observe that day.  Arriving prepared for class includes wearing the appropriate clothing, shoes and a neat bun at all times except for Jazz, Acro and Hip-Hop classes which require a neat ponytail.  If needed, please ask at the desk for a copy of detailed instructions on how to make a ballet bun.  Please make sure your dancer's hair is put in a bun before ballet class to avoid us having to take valuable class time to do it for you.  Due to hygiene rules, we can not loan out ballet clothing, shoes or hair supplies.  It is the parent's responsibility to see that your dancer arrives fully dressed and prepared.
