- Maintaining a proper attitude towards corrections and a positive work ethic during lessons is necessary! The instructors are trying to make your lessons a positive experience and the dancer needs to apply the corrections to improve technically.
- Keeping up in their regular classes (groups, exams, etc.) and not missing too many of their regular classes with no more than two excused absences.
- Students need to be always listening and applying instructions and corrections that the teacher says regardless of who they were meant for.
- Students need to be focused on dance while in dance class. They should not be talking too much or distracting other students.
- Students MUST make sure they stretch & practice at home regularly, so they are prepared for their next lesson.
- Anyone performing a duo or trio MUST schedule time with their partners to practice together.
- Dancers must be enrolled in all the recommended classes for their level before they will be permitted to do a solo/duo/trio.
