*It is very difficult for teachers during performance time to have dancers missing. We encourage dancers to not miss class, unless you are ill or on vacation. Please let us know when you will be on vacation.
*Missing more than 3 classes may result in a child not performing a section that was rehearsed during the time the student was gone. The teacher will discuss the situation with the student.

RULES OF THE STUDIO

*Please arrive on time. If a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be up to the teacher to have the student participate or sit and watch. Warm-ups are very important so a dancer will not get hurt.
*No gum or food is allowed in class. Water bottles are acceptable.
*Please be considerate of others. Respect other dancer's feelings.  Teamwork is important to the progress of the class. We would like all dancers to feel like family and be treated as such.
. If we catch any students We do not tolerate destroying property or stealing, the student will not be allowed to return. However, we have been very impressed with our students--we have never had a problem occur. Thank you!!!!!
*Parents and friends of students, we love that you will come and watch and support your dancer, we ask that you remain outside of the classroom and watch from the studio windows. Please keep young children close it is a distraction to the teachers and the staff working at the front desk to have children running all over the studio.

EVALUATION

As a parent, if you would like to know more about your child's progress, please talk with the instructor of the class. The creative director will discuss dancer's progress often with the instructor. It is our job to know each dancer's name and level to help them to learn and feel comfortable in the studio.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Prodigy awards three scholarships a year for dancers with a financial need and who display a strong desire and dedication to dance. They must also take on a leadership role in their classes and help to encourage other students to excel. One scholarship will go to a Preschool age dancer, the second to a studio dancer and the third to a company member.
