TO START DANCING!
To ensure the safety of all dancers and instructors, please read the following information carefully.
Attendance, Illness or Injury
Attendance is imperative for consistent progress. If a student is going to be absent from class due to unforeseen circumstances, leave a text message on Desiree’s mobile. If students know in advance that they will be absent from class, please leave written note in box. If a student is too ill to participate in class, they should remain home and rest. They are injured; they should come to class and observe (no class fees will apply).
Placement and Dance Roles
For some new students it may be necessary to take the first week of class in a ‘trial’ level in order for the instructor to assess the proper class level. The Staff has the final word on casting for rehearsals and performances. Please be respectful of their careful decisions. We try our best to allow all students the possibility to be featured during the performances.
Student/Instructor Interaction
Please be advised that the study of dance involves physical contact. Instructors will often need to make hands –on contact to adjust students’ alignment and to demonstrate proper motion. Students should keep the faculty informed of any recent illness, injury, or other conditions that may interfere with their classwork.
