Attendance Policies:
Classes: It is expected that students commit to their classes. Please put classes as conflicts when auditioning for shows. If a class is missed, it is expected that the student takes a makeup class. If the student misses three or more classes when show materials are being worked on, students must do a private lesson with the teacher to learn what was missed. Class time will not be used to help a student get caught up; that is unfair to the rest of the class. A private lesson will be an additional expense, so please prioritize attending classes regularly. If a student misses three or more classes of show materials and does not make it up during private lessons, the student will be unable to perform in the show, and no refund will be given.
Private Lessons: If a student needs to reschedule a lesson, it must be done with a minimum of 24 hours notice. If less than 24 hours notice is given, you will be charged for the lesson.
