General Policies

Attendance

• Regular attendance is expected and essential for a student's successful progress.  Lack of attendance will impede your child's progression.
  

• Make-up classes are allowed and must be made up within one month of the missed class, based on availability. Schedule make-ups at the front desk.
  

Classroom Etiquette

• Students arriving late must check in with the Academy registrar for a late admittance slip. Students arriving more than 10 minutes late to their scheduled class will not be admitted.  Also, students not admitted to class due to tardiness are not eligible for a make-up class!
  

• Listening to your instructor during class is expected.
  

• Please, no talking in class.
  

• Thanking your instructor at the end of class is proper etiquette!

General Academy Rules

• No running in the halls.
  

• No loud or unruly behavior.
  

• Dance clothes may not be worn outside the building.  Students must always cover up with "street clothes" when entering and leaving the building.
  

• Students not in required attire are subject to removal from class. Street shoes should be worn in and around the building.  NOT in the studios.
