Make Up Classes
(not for personal absences-studio closures only)
Throughout the year, holidays (especially on Mondays) fall mid-session. Your dancer
is entitled to a make-up class of her/his choice (see instructor for appropriate class
for your dancer) to take the place of these missed classes.
IMPORTANT – make-up classes should be done EARLY in the fall or winter session so
your dancer can enjoy the class without feeling behind. After the first 4 weeks of the
session it is too difficult for your dancer to get the most out of her/his make up class.
