Absences

If a student misses their regular class due to illness, travel, or any other reason, the studio will sometimes be able to offer an equivalent class they can attend to make up. Please note, not all classes have age/level appropriate classes that are similar to the one that your dancer is enrolled in. Further, this option of a make up is only offered prior to Spring Break. After Spring Break, all classes are in rehearsal mode for recital and working on their classes routine. Please email Miss Lauren if you would like to find out if there is an appropriate classes for your child to attend in order to make up an absence they have.

Placement

 Age is our first factor in regards to placement. Dancer's must be the minimum age of a class by August 31 of that year to enroll in the respective class.
We truly have your child's best interest at heart, and class placement by our well-trained staff ensures that your child is at the appropriate level for her / his level of development. We will communicate with you if we feel a change in class should be made for any reason.

Ballet is the foundation of  many dance techniques and is encouraged before or along with the study of jazz and contemporary.  For our MS/HS Contemporary classes, a ballet class in mandatory in order to enroll.

Class Time

Observation:
Parents are always welcome at the studio, however, weekly observation is not permitted unless invited by the instructor.

Please do not enter the studio when any classes are in progress. The viewing and disturbance is distracting to instructors and students.

Not at any time may a parent come up to a child during class to talk or correct a dance step or movement. Remember if you have any questions for the teacher please ask before or after the class if it is urgent. However, we encourage you to email lfsdfremont@gmail.com with your questions and concerns, or, to set up a scheduled appointment to discuss any matters in person.
​
