Attendance/Cancellations
MUST CALL or EMAIL TO REPORT AN ABSENCE!
217-971-2861 or dancecentre4@gmail.com
Be on time! I will do my best to start classes on time. Check the website or Facebook page in case I cancel
classes because of dangerous road conditions/emergencies. I will post the cancellation by 3:00 PM on the day
in question. Also, there will be a sign on the studio door on days classes are cancelled. If in doubt
call/text/or email and ask.
No Make-Up Classes due to bad weather or holidays. If a class is an excused absence
(meaning letting me know in advance) a makeup class will be offered within one month if available.
If a dancer continues to miss classes often (other than illness) I reserve the right to first- call and give
a warning, second- if he/she continues to miss – I will give notice whether or not they can perform in the
recital. It is unfair to myself and to the other dancers to have a dancer consistently
Dance Shoes All dance shoes can be purchased at: Step Into My Dancers’ Closet (SMDC Boutique), located
directly next door to the studio. No Bedroom Slippers.
BALLET
Hair in a bun or high ponytail. Any color leotard. Tights.Pink ballet shoes
JAZZ & TAP
Tights. Biker short. Dance top or leotard. Jazz or Tap shoes. No tennis shoes or bare feet. Hair tied back in ponytail or bun
HIP HOP

COMBO
Leotard and tights. Ballet shoes and tap shoes. Hair in ponytail or bun
Dancers need to arrive to class dressed properly: hair tied back, shoes, leotard etc.
No baggy clothes that will prevent the instructor from seeing the body alignment – exceptions for hip hop.
It is also important mentally for the dancers to be dressed properly for dance class. Just as you would not
arrive to swimming class in school clothes, you should not arrive to dance in play clothes. Make sure you bring the proper
shoes. Dancer arriving to class in inappropriate or revealing clothing will not be permitted to dance that day.
Arrival Time All classes begin exactly on time. Please plan to arrive to class early with a few minutes to spare.
Any student arriving later than 15 minutes from the beginning of class time will not be permitted to dance.
It disrupts the instructor, and due to safety concerns a student could suffer serious injury if they have not properly stretched.
Classroom Visits
Observation is an opportunity for you to observe your dancer’s progress in class. There are no classroom visits, except for the
last class of the chosen months. Only ONE observer per child may observe class the last lesson in December, March, and May, exact
dates will be handed out at a later date. You are welcome to visit on that day to see how your dancer is doing. However, visiting your dancer’s class is optional.
