  • No more than one absence is permitted per two month period, unless accompanied by a doctor’s note. No more than one absence permitted per month in April, May and June. Excessive absence may result in a student being unable to participate in the recital. A child can make up a class in the same genre, age and level class until March 1st.  Make ups must be done within the month of the missed class.
  • There are NO REFUNDS for missed classes.  Any class may be made up in an alternate class of same genre/age/ability level through March 1st, after which recital choreography has begun and it will not benefit the child to take a class outside their scheduled classes.   Please note that Dance Central allows for 4 cancellations of any kind.   If we miss more than 4 days due to weather, teacher illness or emergencies, the class will either be rescheduled or you may make it up in another class time.
