ATTENDANCE/MAKE-UP CLASSES

Attendance is crucial to a student's growth, so it is very important that students be prepared for class and on time. If a student is going to be absent, please call the academy ahead of time to guarantee make-up lessons. Lessons can be made up at any time during the current school year. No refunds will be granted for missed classes.

PLACEMENT

Students will be placed in the class that will be most beneficial for them. A combination of age and ability will be taken into consideration. As the student progresses, ability is of the utmost importance, with age regarded second. Children grow and advance at many different rates; therefore, they will be enrolled in the class level most appropriate for their ability. Because BBDA strives to develop a love of dance in every student, class placement is not taken lightly.

DRESS CODE

The following dress code will be strictly enforced. No street clothes will be permitted in the class. Baggy clothes are unacceptable because instructors are unable to see proper alignment of the body. Students not following the dress code will be asked to observe class.

Leotards and tights are required for all classes. Hair must be neatly pulled back and secured in a bun (mandatory for ballet and points), pony tail or braid.

No jewelry is to be worn.

Ballet - Black leotard, pink tights and pink ballet shoes. Sheer ballet skirts may be worn at the discretion of the instructor.
