Attendance

Encouragement: Encourage your child in his or her dancing.  Impress upon him or her that he or she will be taking lessons for the entire year.  Dancing requires perseverance.  After the first year, however, if there is no interest, then is the time to discontinue further lessons.

Class Time: Dancers must be on time to class.  Latecomers are disruptive to the other students.  Parents should also be prompt in picking up their dancer after class; otherwise the boredom of waiting will be associated with dancing.

Leaving early: If your dancer must leave a class early, please tell the teacher before class if possible or speak with the secretary so that she can get your child from class.

Make-up Classes: Class lessons missed because of illness only may be made up.  Contact the secretary to arrange make-up classes.  The make-up lesson must be made up within a month of the missed lesson.
