Please do not be offended if an instructor does not have time. Should there be a concern about your dancer’s progress in class, the instructor will come to you.* Choreography for solos and duet/trios will include 4 hours of teaching/cleaning. After the allotted time, the choreographer may charge private lesson fees for any additional work that is necessary or additional cleaning requested by the dancer. Younger dancers may receive more time without additional costs. IF YOU CANNOT MEET THE FULL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF A SPECIALTY DANCE INVITATION, PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT. The financial responsibilities for monthly tuition and team requirements must come first. Late payments for tuition and company payments must be avoided at all costs! All invitations for specialties will be sent to PARENTS, not to dancers. SOLOS AND DUET/TRIOS are given chosen by the staff on a very limited basis. We look at age, ability, the level in which the dancer would compete, strength of the dancer in groups, ability to handle extra choreography, etc. Please do not approach teachers about specialty dances.
