punchfront dance studio attendance policy
regular attendance: The word ‘DANCE’ just so happens to be in the word “ATTENDANCE!” Attendance is a crucial part of dance education. Being consistent in attendance plays a big role in a dancer’s advancement. With poor attendance, dancers are more likely to have poor training which can lead to frustrations and injuries. Missing classes can be discouraging and often it is difficult to find the time to catch up. it is expected and highly recommended that all dancers are present in their weekly dance classes. continual absence in weekly classes may result in removal from all or some recital pieces (if you do not know the piece, you will not be in it).
TARDINESS: IF a student arrives more than 5 minutes after the start of the class, they miss warm-up and run the risk of injury due to improper stretching. a student who arrives more than 10 minutes after the start of the class may be asked to observe class rather than participate. this is not to be viewed as a punishment for the student, but as a safety precaution. please plan to be at punchfront with adequate time to dress so that you will be in the studio on time to start class.
CLASS SIZE
there are size limitations for each class in order to ensure that students receive quality dance education. class size must be at least 3 students enrolled in order for the classes to run. if a class is cancelled due to enrollment issues, then a full refund will be issued.
dress code
all punchfront dance studio students must adhere to the studio dress code for all classes. this information can be found under the “what to wear/studio dress code” tab.
Cellphone use
no cellphones are allowed in the dance studio. students may leave their cellphones with their other belongings in the cubbies in the parent viewing room. this is to limit distractions during class time.
