Students are required to attend all classes in proper dance attire. Hair should always be neat, tidy and pulled off the face. For all Ballet classes long hair is to be worn in a bun; in all other classes please wear long hair in a ponytail. Please find specific uniform requirements on the “What To Wear” page.
ATTENDANCE
It is much appreciated if students arrive to class on time, as it is disturbing for students and teachers when students are late.

To achieve success students must make every effort to attend class, especially during the time leading to the Year End performance.
