If your dancer is interested in dancing on company next year they will not want to miss this event!

Back by popular demand! It's everyone's favorite fundraiser - Little Caesar's Pizza Kits! Pick up your order form packet at the desk and be sure to turn your orders in by 8pm on Thursday, January 16th! Please bring one check or money order for your entire order. Thank you!

Students are encouraged to attend all classes during the recital season. More than five absences in one class must be made up in order to participate in the recital. Absences must be reported in the parent portal or called in to the studio by 4pm each day, with a reason given. Excused absences can be made up in another class of the same genre within the same month and must be scheduled through the front desk. Excused absences are sickness, injuries preventing class observance, graded school performances such as choir, band, or theatre and important family functions such as weddings and funerals.

Here's a quick video on how to report dance absences through the portal!

If a student is to miss a lesson, notice must be given directly to the instructor by 12pm on the day (Mon-Fri) of the lesson or it will be counted as unexcused and unable to be made up. Saturday absences must be communicated by 8am. In order for a student to make-up an absence, the make-up must be made on a day provided by the instructor. If a student misses the make-up, they will not be permitted to reschedule. Any lessons canceled by the instructor will be communicated and make-ups will be offered.
