Student Company
Student Company dancers are expected to set the example for work ethic, dedication, responsibility, and positive attitude. As such, our attendance and studio policies will be strictly enforced.
- Dancers must report all absences prior to class/rehearsal as soon as possible via phone or email (email preferred).
- If a dancer is unable to participate in class or rehearsal due to illness, injury or any other reason, he/she is expected to attend and observe class. (Please use discretion as to degree of illness.)
- Dancers must attend all in-studio, stage and dress rehearsals for performances. (Dancers will be excused for emergency situations only.)
- Two late arrivals for class or rehearsals counts as one absence. “Late Arrival” is qualified as after the teacher has commenced instruction; not to begin before scheduled start time of the class.
- Classes that meet Once per Week: Two consecutive or three random absences from a registered class per semester will result in dancer’s revocation of ability to perform in the next scheduled performance or participate in the next scheduled company event.
- Classes that meet Twice per Week: Three consecutive or four random absences from a registered class per semester will result in dancer’s revocation of ability to perform in the next scheduled performance or participate in the next scheduled company event.
- Student Company Rehearsals: Two consecutive absences from rehearsal will result in dancer’s revocation of ability to perform in the next scheduled performance or participate in the next scheduled company event. Three random absences will result in a reconsideration of the dancer’s participation in the Student Company. Dancers must attend the final rehearsal prior to a performance in order to perform. Any dancers who are absent during any portion of choreography for a piece will not be choreographed into that piece. Places absolutely cannot be held for missing dancers.
