By entering my electronic signature, I AND my dancer acknowledge and agree to the Attendance & Absences Policy: -Dancers are expected (required) to attend all rehearsals. -If your dancer is sick or experiences an emergency and cannot attend rehearsal; a PARENT or GUARDIAN must EMAIL [email protected] ASAP. If you can't get to your email, please use the Remind messaging system. Missing rehearsal once or twice due to illness is not necessarily a cause for immediate dismissal from the piece; however, Studio Director reserves the right to remove a dance from the piece if absences become a concern or we are not properly notified. -If your dancer needs to request an absence for a reason other than illness or emergency, a PARENT or GUARDIAN must EMAIL [email protected] 48 hours prior to the rehearsal they are requesting to miss. It is ideal (and expected) for dancers to miss no rehearsals; however, it is important to reach out so we can make the best decision for all dancers and choreographers. I do not intend for dancers to miss out on special events; but choosing to participate in extra pieces does come with extra responsibilities. Remember, the Opening Number should be the cleanest and BEST piece of the show, and that requires 150% from everyone. At the end of the day, it is always difficult to create/polish/clean a dance if there are different students absent each week.
