Attendance

Attendance

Students who attend classes on a regular basis are those that experience the most from their dance education. Often when one student is absent, an instructor will need to repeat an entire lesson plan, arrange an extra rehearsal for the entire class, or at the very least review choreography. Each class can be hindered by poor attendance or can progress nicely with all striving to attend classes regularly. Also, attendance is taken into consideration when placing students each year.
Attendance awards are given at the end of the year to students who have been present at every class during the year, not missing more than 10 minutes of class due to tardiness or leaving early.

As a courtesy, please call in advance if your child will not be able to attend a class. If they are able to and they are not contagious, they should attend class to watch and observe new choreography, even if they are injured or a little under the weather.

Please arrive for class dressed and ready to start including hair pulled back. Students should put their dance shoes on as soon as they arrive, leaving their street shoes on the rack in the lobby, and be ready to start our warm-up as soon as class begins. Being consistently late to class and missing our warm-up time is not acceptable. Students who miss our warm up time will be asked to stand to the side & warm up on their own so that we avoid injuries caused by not warming up properly.

Please do not bring your child more than 10 minutes early. Our waiting area is too small to accommodate 2 classes of children and the extra noise of people coming in early can disrupt the class in session. If there is a break before your class starts, please allow the previous class time to get their belongings and get out the front door. This will make the transition period easier on everyone. If there is not a break before your class, please come in quietly and as soon as the previous class has ended, be ready to walk in & begin your warm-up.

Students under age 12 may not be left in the waiting area before their class without their parent.

To avoid conflict of interest it is a policy of the Farmington School of Dance that no student shall be enrolled at any other dance school without the prior knowledge and approval of the director.
