Absences
All students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled classes. Each class offers a step forward in the educational process. Repeated missed classes could leave a child behind the progress of their level. Technical ability and proficiency in dance is the result of continuous practice, discipline ,and hard work.
If a student misses more than two classes, PDT may phone your home. Too many absences may lead to loss of performance opportunity or repeat of class level. Steady attendance is crucial to keep up technique and choreography.
Makeup Classes
Refunds are not given for classes missed or unattended. However, students can make up missed classes at any time by attending another class in their level or the levels below. Due to class size restrictions, please check with the office before joining a class you are not registered for.
Swap/Drop a class
If you wish to swap or drop classes, please email pdt.accts@gmail.com so that your schedule can be updated.
Tardiness/Leaving early:
All dancers are expected to be ready to dance at their class time. If a student arrives late to class, the instructor may ask the student to sit and watch class.
A student that needs to leave class early should inform the instructor before class begins. When it is time for you to leave, signal your instructor and exit quietly.
Please contact the office if you anticipate being late or are leaving early to/from class.
