Attendance is Extremely Important!
WHY is it so important that your child does not miss class??
1) Each class they learn more of their routine. If they miss they fall behind and
inevitably get frustrated.
2) The instructor needs to choreograph for the whole class, students missing
makes it difficult to work on spacing and timing. Imagine putting together a
piece of furniture with pieces missing!
3) Dance is a team sport and every team member is critical to the success of
the group. Don’t disappoint your classmates.
