OF PURCHASE OF COSTUME OR RECITAL FEE. 2 classes can be made up with a
˝ hour private lesson at private lesson rates.
LEVELS AND MOVING UP:
Students do not move up to the next level according to the amount of years
that they have studied dance. They must be able to execute proper
technique for each movement to the fullest for that level. Once the
teacher or director has determined that the student is ready to move up then
and only then will they be able to do so. Some students may take
several years and others only one, according to natural ability, effort and
practice. POOR ATTENDANCE WILL AFFECT PROGRESSION
