Class attendance is very important and crucial for improvement and progression. After three classes have been missed the student's participation in dance classes and in the end of the year show will be discussed with a parent/or guardian or adult student. If three classes are missed of the same genre during this crucial show preparation time dancers will be cut from that show number. There will also be mandatory show practices scheduled.
