Attendance:

There is no substitute for regular attendance to insure progress! Once a student is enrolled in a class, their particular place becomes important to the teacher who arranges dance combinations according to those enrolled. Classes missed due to illness may be made up in duplicate classes designated by the teacher. There is NO REFUND on missed classes.

Late fees will be tallied at the end of the session if not paid when due.
