ABSENCE POLICY 

​

Company member benefits include discounted tuition, priority enrollment, and special performance participation. In order to continue to take advantage of these benefits please be aware of our policies.

​

The following will be grounds for removal from a dance routine or in some cases suspension from the company:

• More than 3 absences from a company class or rehearsal (even if they are excused). ALL absences must be addressed as soon as possible to. be considered excused.

• More than 5 excused absences from any 1 technique class.

• More than 2 unexcused absences from any 1 technique class.

• 1 unexcused absence from a rehearsal.

• 3 unexcused tardies will equal an absence, so please be on time to classes or let your teacher know if you will be late.

​

Additional attendance details:

• If a class needs to be canceled due to weather or other unexpected circumstances, it will not count against you as an absence.

• Classes or pre-planned rehearsals cannot be missed less than 2 weeks before a performance.

• Non-compliance with the absence policy does not necessarily mean removal from a class, but it may mean being unable to participate in a performance or other event.

• Exceptions will only be made under extreme circumstances and addressed on a case by case basis (not to include school events or family vacations).

• This policy is subject to change as needed to enable our school to continue to offer a sustainable progressive dance program to our students. We will do our best to notify you of changes in advance.
