Lobby Area
When arriving for class, students are asked to wait in the lobby area at the South Park Recreation Center
until their class begins. All students are asked to arrive on time and be completely ready to begin class
(with proper attire, hair and shoes). After class, students must remain in the lobby area until they are
picked up after class.
Make-up Classes
If a student must miss a class for any reason, the student/parent must inform the studio before the class.
Any student missing a class will have the opportunity to participate in a “make-up” class. Please avoid
missing class. Your ABSENTEEISM HOLDS UP THE PROGRESS OF THE ENTIRE CLASS.
Parent Observation
Family and friends are invited to observe classes during “Parent Observation Week” typically held in early
November. We ask that those observing class show respect to instructors
and students by remaining seated and quiet. Students look forward to showing you what they have learned thus
far, but need to remain focused on the instructor to do so. You are welcome into class but please limit your
visits to the classroom to offer the instructor quality time with your child. We encourage you to attend our
observation week.
Recital
Our annual recital is a very rewarding and exciting time for all students. Each year's recital is held at the South
Park School Auditorium in May,
typically at 1pm and 7pm (subject to change). Most classes will perform their
dance in our professional stage show. Each student is required to purchase a costume (and tights and
proper dance shoes if needed). Professional dance pictures will be taken of dancers in costume during our
dress rehearsal. Dress rehearsal attendance is mandatory. You may video tape at the dress rehearsal ONLY.
A professional video will be recorded at our recital for your purchase.
Registration Fee
The registration fee $10 per student (subject to change). This fee must be paid at time of Registration.
