Class Attire
Dance clothes are required for every class (see Class Attire for detailed listing for the clothing requirements for each class). Hair must be pulled back off face and no jewelry is allowed. If a student comes to class unprepared they will be asked to sit out and watch.
Lateness
To allow preparation time please arrive no less than 5 minutes before class. It is very important for student safety and health to not miss the warm up (first 10-25 minutes of class). Lateness is also disruptive to the class. Students later than 15 minutes will be asked to sit out and watch class.
Attendance
Please contact Christine to find out about make up opportunities for missed classes. When possible always notify teacher of absence from class.
Observation
At the end of each session there will be an Open House. Family and friends are invited to watch a class at this time. Otherwise parents may not watch class. It can be very distracting. Parents may wait in the lobby during class.
Tuition
For tuition amount please refer to our tuition form. Payments received after date due will include a $20 late fee. Payments are required for participation in classes. There are no refunds. Tuition may be applied to later classes only with a medical excuse from a doctor.
Rehearsals & Performances
Rehearsals are times scheduled for practice to prepare for a performance. Class is time to practice technique and develop strength to execute movement vocabulary properly. Some of class time will be used to learn choreography for a performance but extra rehearsals will always be necessary especially since Moving Light School of Dance performs full length ballets (or dance that tells a story). The school works as a whole to present quality educational performances to our community.
Rehearsals outside of class time are limited for younger students so participants are not overwhelmed. Older students will have a series of rehearsals leading up to a performance. Moving Light chooses to work this way so students who love to dance are given the opportunity to fully enjoy the process of creating and preparing for a performance.
Attendance at rehearsals as well as class will reflect students' participation in performances. When possible always notify teacher of absence from rehearsals in advance so they can plan accordingly. So, please make extra effort to save rehearsal times as soon as you are notified of them!

Food/Drink
