-Training at POSH is a serious commitment for Fall(August-December) and Spring(January-May). Summer 2021 season are TBA. Our Spring 2021 season is January 6, 2021- May 21, 2021. Dates for our Young artists are encouraged to participate in all seasons, as well as culminating performances all seasons . The culminating event for the Spring is the only mandatory event for all young artists to participate in. The date and details are still currently pending, due to COVID-19. We anticipate the event happening mid-late May. Please plan to remain available through that time.

*COVID 19/CDC 19 Guidelines - We will be observing CDC Guidelines for COVID at all times. Masks are one of the MANDATORY supplies needed for participation in POSH. Each young artist will need a 50 count box of the disposable masks--to be kept at POSH. One will be used daily. We have limited spots available in order to properly social distance. Hand washing and disinfecting procedures will be taught and practiced by young artists and staff. Guidelines are posted at POSH and will be attached to registration confirmation email. If you or your child are sick, we ask that you keep them home. Temperature checks will be done daily upon arrival .

-Attendance- Young artists shall attend class without frequent tardies or absences. Young artists should be dropped off a few minutes prior to the start of class, in order to prepare. If young artists arrive after the 15min mark of class, they may be asked to observe*. After 3 absences or 5 tardies in a season, we will schedule a meeting to assess the young artists' progression in the class and to help find a solution. When/if a young artist is going to be absent or tardy, please email poshexpressions.us before the class begins or call (504) 982-3407. Recorded absences will be reviewed at the end of each month. For every absence neglected to be recorded there will be a $5 fee drafted from the account.

-Pick Up/Drop Off-Sessions will be closed to the public. Parents will not be allowed in the building to minimize traffic. Drop off/pick up happens at the front of the building (Clematis Ave)--pick up on the side of the building for evening sessions (Elder St.).

-Young artists should come dressed in proper attire/class uniform and have proper dance shoes daily. Uniform order deadline January 9, 2020.

-Pledge payment schedule is going to be very different than it's looked in the past. As we are transitioning under the umbrella of our non-profit, P.O.S.H. PUSH, we will be making changes to this as a whole. Details will be discussed in Orientation January 6, 2020.

-At POSH, our goal is to encourage, inspire and assist in the development of our young artists through the performing arts. With their hard work, discipline and commitment of the young artists along with supportive parents, we will achieve this goal.

-Any concerns will be addressed through a scheduled meeting with the respective instructor and director.

Please send your young artists with their official POSH duffel bag to keep up with their items. All bags need to include : dance shoes, journal--used in sessions and given upon first day--, pen/pencil and water. Baby wipes, hygiene wipes/ soap, disinfectant wipes, deodorant, and other toiletries(sanitary napkins as applicable), are necessary items that should be kept in young artists bags, to refresh themselves. Each young artist will have sessions that involve a great amount--if not constant, physical activity, therefore, it is vital to make sure they have what they need to support their hygiene. Also, remind your young artists to pack any medications for allergies or in case of an emergency such as an asthma pump, arm/leg/knee brace, epipen, etc. We keep their medical information regarding conditions and injuries on file but please tell your young artist to inform their teacher daily if they have an injury or health related issues, at any point.
