All rehearsals and performances are mandatory. Every member counts at every performance. Participants are allowed no more than two (2) of each class absences per semester. A semester is defined from August- December and January- June. If you miss any class in the week before a performance or are not prepared for a performance due to an absence, your ability to perform with the group is up to the discretion of your teacher and Mr. and Mrs. Krikac. If more than 2 of each class are missed in a semester the dancer will be charged for a private lesson and a private make up time will be scheduled. If you plan to miss a class, you must give notice via email at least ONE month in advance. **The unfortunate event of a severe illness/death in the family is of course an exception to the absence policy.**
