CLASS PLACEMENT:
RETURNING STUDENTS- I have hi-lighted appropriate levels based on your previous year’s progress. If there is a new technique you would like to try, please call for proper placement.
NEW STUDENTS- please call to discuss class/level options.
NOTE: It is important to remember that class levels are determined solely by the instructor. Students will not be registered if class placement has not been discussed or assigned by the instructor. Levels are determined by technique/ability, not by age or years of experience.

WHAT IF I MISS A CLASS ?
Make up classes due to student absences are not available. Tuition will not be refunded due to excess absences. It is important that parents make an effort to have their student at their regularly scheduled class time. If absences become an extreme problem, the opportunity to participate in the Spring Performance may be taken away.

Cancellations due to bad weather conditions will be posted on our website. Please check our Studio News page. We DO NOT follow any particular school system.
