Attendance Policy for showcase: Regular attendance is crucial for dancers to remain in shape/avoid injury and progress at the expected rate. In addition, showcase choreography begins in January in all of our dance classes and regular attendance is extremely important for students to learn class choreography. Pre Dance 1, 2 and Creative Pre Primary dancers are expected to attend regularly all season to remain eligible to perform in the Showcase, but there is no set number of absences for these levels. Parents will be contacted if attendance becomes a concern for younger students. Occasionally, when younger dancers are absent a couple weeks in a row, they become hesitant to return to class at all due to the disruption in their routine. Please reach out and let us know if your dancer is experiencing any hesitation in returning to class; we are here to help! Primary and Grade 1: Any absences over the amount listed below could affect a dancer’s eligibility to remain in our program and/or perform in the annual Showcase. While it is possible to make up missed classes in another appropriate class, there is no guarantee that missed choreography can be “made up” and attending a lower level for an extended period of time is not permitted. It is imperative that dancers attend class regularly except in the event of illness. Grade 2 are allowed 6 excused absences February - April, and 6 excused absences August - October. The three weeks prior to the showcase are absolutely mandatory except in the event of contagious condition or graded school event. Dancers who are absent the three weeks prior to the show may be pulled from their class dance if the instructor deems it more beneficial for the class as a whole. Dancers work very hard to retain their choreography, and it puts extra pressure on their classmates when students are routinely absent. We thank you for realizing how important regular attendance is, and assure you that your dancer will be very glad they put in the time and effort when the big day arrives! If dancers “miss” new choreography, it is their responsibility to learn what they’ve missed. We sometimes record new choreography, but dancers should NOT rely on videos–we recommend keeping a “choreography notebook” to write down choreography and meeting with friends before the next class to review what was missed. (Pre dance 1,2, creative pre-primary and primary; not applicable) Picture day, full cast rehearsals, and dress rehearsals are mandatory for all levels/classes. Dancers who are absent from any full cast or dress rehearsal are not permitted to perform in the show. If you experience an emergency the day of a rehearsal, contact Simone ASAP. Dancers may not leave full cast or dress rehearsals earlier than their designated dismissal time (All levels/classes). Please review all dates and times carefully. Full Cast and Dress Rehearsals are absolutely mandatory.
General Rules regarding Ballet exams/Participation in dance competitions. 1. Only students who have developed the and achieved the ballet grade techniques will be allowed to participate in ballet exams. 2.
