School Policies
Advancement
Careful attention is given to placing each dancer in the appropriate class, based
on age, maturity, technical level, and ability. It is common for a student
to remain in a level for at least two
years. This time is needed to master increasingly difficult
steps. Good attendance, hard work, and a positive attitude are the keys
to steady progress.
Attendance/Promptness
Please inform the school via phone of anticipated absences prior to
class time. Students should arrive ON TIME. Tardiness limits warm-up
time, which causes injuries. Late arrivals also
disrupt class concentration. Students over ten minutes late will be asked
to sit and observe class. Please pick up your student
promptly after class.
Attire
All required attire may be purchased at Dance On in Laconia. NO JEWELRY
OR EXTRA CLOTHING is to be worn during class. Hair must be pulled back
away from the face and neck. A ballet bun is required for all kindersteps,
pre-ballet, and ballet classes. Dancewear is not suitable for streetwear. Please
wear cover-ups
and street shoes to and from class.

Communication
Please call the school with questions or concerns. Teachers are available
for private conferences outside of class time. Our
seasonal newsletter, "The Dance Beat", covers important
information, and a paper copy is available at the
front desk. Look for other important notices on the bulletin boards in
the lobby. Parents are invited to observe class during "Demonstration Days".

May. A $40 costume deposit (per costume) is due November 1st, and the
