​2021/2022 ATTENDANCE POLICY

​Attendance

• Students should arrive at the studio 5-10 minutes before class begins to allow time for changing into class attire. If possible, dancers should arrive with dance clothes under their street clothes.
• Tardiness is disruptive to both the students and the instructor. Please make every effort to arrive on time for class.
• Students who have cold symptoms or fever will not be permitted to enter the building.
• If the student is injured and cannot dance, he or she is encouraged to come and observe.
• Please call the studio if the student will be absent.
• During the second semester, dancers may not miss 3 classes in a row OR 6 classes of a given discipline in order to perform in the spring recital.
• Repeated absence indicates a lack of interest in the student's dance education. However, we understand that there may be extenuating circumstances, such as quarantine, which cause students to miss class.
• If the student wishes to participate in the recital but has missed 2 or classes in a row, the student may be required to attend a private make up class or classes to get caught up with choreography and technique. A fee for private classes will be imposed at $30 per 30 minute private lesson, payable in cash prior to the lesson.
• Students who miss performance rehearsals may be recast at the director's discretion.
• In the event of withdrawal, the student will be charged for classes up to the date that written notification of withdrawal is received (either in person or email). 

​​Class Make-Ups

• Make-up dance classes are available for students whose tuition is up to date.
• To make up a missed class, the student may attend the same style of class one level down, or the student may observe a higher level class.
• Please schedule all make-up classes at the studio reception desk.
