All Classes start on-time. Please arrive ~5 minutes early for each class to allow your dancer time to put belongings in cubbies, change, and prepare for class. 

 

Attendance will be taken daily during each class. Dancers who are more than 10 minutes late to class may be marked late or asked to sit out by the instructor.  Specific warm-up exercises are given during the first 10 minutes of class, and It is distracting to teachers & fellow class members when dancers are late.

 

If your dancer is going to be late or absent for any reason, please call the front desk of your corresponding studio:
