Studio Policies

Attendance

Regular class attendance is necessary in order to ensure that your student can progress and learn in a manner that benefits them most.

Perfect attendance awards are given at the end of the season. Please see the Studio Policies for further details.

Perfect Attendance/Make-up Classes:

Perfect attendance awards are given at the end of our dance year (in June). To get an award for perfect attendance the student must attend all regularly scheduled classes since enrollment.

If a class is missed, the student is encouraged to make-up the class in any other class of the same level.

NOTE: All missed classes must be made-up before Memorial Day weekend.

Watching Class

Parents are welcome to watch class at any time. There is a comfortable room with a one-way mirror for observation. Please do not enter the studio while class is in session. No food or drink (except water) is allowed in the studio. Thanks for your cooperation on keeping our facility clean.

Holidays

We will take the following Holidays (these holidays will be posted on the studio calendar):

• Thanksgiving (Wednesday through Saturday)

• Christmas and New Years (usually about two weeks)

• Spring Break (same as Columbia Public Schools)

• Memorial Day

Inclement Weather

It is sometimes necessary to close the studio due to bad weather. If the weather looks threatening, please check our News & Updates page or our Facebook page, or call the studio (573) 489-4809. I will make the decision to have classes at least two hours before the start of classes.

I do not necessarily always follow Columbia Public Schools direction. If classes are in session, and you feel it is not safe to come, it will be an excused absence.
