Student Policies

2011-2012

ATTENTION PARENTS: The study of dance requires commitment and dedication. In order for students to progress, they must attend classes regularly and on a consistent basis. Our program insures the steady growth of each student, while not overloading them. Please help your children to be successful by bringing them to all their classes on time, properly attired and well rested.

The academy year runs from August through late May/early June. We close for major holidays, winter break and spring break. Please see detailed calendar.

Annual Student Performance will be held in early June, dates TBA. Participation is optional, but strongly encouraged. There will be a production fee and extra rehearsals.
