Absence Policies

Attendance

Our dance education depends heavily on your child’s attendance and punctuality. Please do your best to be consistent in arriving early and attending class each week.

Absences

If your dancer is going to be absent from class, please call the front desk and notify us so we can schedule a make-up class. Students are encouraged to make up any classes they may miss. Make-up lessons are allowed in any other age and level appropriate class. Once the session is over or the student has dropped the class, all make-up lessons become void.
