*Please refer to the monthly BADA newsletters for any changes or updates.
Placement
*Placement is dependent on emotional maturity, physical development, strength, comprehension of skills and competency of execution. This policy is important to insure dancer safety and to insure best possible instruction at any given level.
*Instructors will observe class and evaluate placement for the first six weeks of class.
*You will be contacted should an instructor feel a dancer would be better served in a different class.
Attendance/Punctuality

*Parents will be notified if students are continually late for class.
*Students missing four or more unexcused classes after February 1 will not be allowed to dance in the performance without instructor approval.
