For our very young dancers it may be necessary from time to time to close the curtain if they are too distracted.

10. This policy applies mainly to our competitive student's. The studio reserves the right to drop a dancer for excessive tardiness and/or absences. Students missing an excessive amount of classes (more than 3) prior to a competition, performance, and/or recital, it is the instructor's discretion to determine if the dancer will be able to participate.
