Classes
A minimum of 5 students per class must be met in order for class to commence. Central Mass Dance Academy reserves the right to combine or cancel any classes. All of our classes are taught by highly qualified dance instructors that go through a full interview, evaluation and training process prior to being hired.
All classes consist of a warm-up that includes stretching, across the floor progressions, center work, new movements, and dance combinations. Proper dance terminology will be enforced. Tiny Twinkles, Twinkle Babies Twinkle Stars and Combo Star classes are an introduction to dance, including tap, ballet, jazz and free dance.
Parents are not allowed to observe classes outside of our Parent-Observation Weeks. It is important to have the child in a focused and structured atmosphere. Allowing a child to develop independence in the classroom is important, and our staff is well trained to help each child’s unique needs as they grow into well-trained dancers.
Attendance
Dancers benefit the most from their classes through consistent class attendance. If your child is unable to attend class, please call the studio to let us know. If your child is ill or injured but not contagious and well enough to come in, please have them come and observe class.
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class by the teacher or teacher’s aide. There are no refunds for missed classes and it is the dancer’s responsibility to attend another class of the same level as a makeup. Classes cancelled due to inclement weather can be made up, but they cannot be refunded.
Being on time is important! Late arrivals disrupt the class and may cause the dancer not to receive the proper warm-up and therefore can result in injury. Students arriving 15 minutes late to class without a call will not be permitted into class and no refund will be given. Any student missing 6 or more classes in one genre of dance without proper documentation will not be allowed to participate in that respective dance in the recital.
Each year, students with perfect attendance will receive an award for their achievement. These are students who have only had to makeup three classes throughout the entire year, inclement weather excluded.
