Students must be on time and will not be permitted to leave early/come late for other activities + sports. If either occurs, it will be considered an absence.

Classes
Dancers will attend their required "Core" classes as indicated (see graph below) and then cast in routines for competition and/or showcase. Everyone will perform at least 1 Jazz + 1 Contemporary routine, as well as Tap if participating. Ballet performs in the Showcase only. Choreography can/will be scheduled outside of core class time and a rehearsal schedule provided.

Ballet
All Ballet classes must be made up if missed within 2 weeks of absence (school-required events or injuries with a doctor's note are excused).
Fees
Parents must maintain good standing in tuition + entry fee payments. Consistent declined cards will result in removal from the program.
Injuries
Dancers with minor injures should still attend class to observe and may return with a doctor's note.
Decisions
All decisions made in regard to placement, classes, and routines will be at the discretion of the Studio Owner in the best interest of the dancer's individual plan and the Company as a whole. Student's do not grow at the same rate and their path will differ from their peers. By participating in Company you agree to trust the professional opinion of this program and your dancer's needs.

Behavior
All dancers must maintain proper behavior in + outside the studio and set a good example for the younger students.
