Important School Information

FIRST CLASS
Returning students will be provisionally placed in class based on an evaluation from the previous academic year. However, the teacher has the authority to reassign a class level, following an evaluation of the student’s first class.

ABSENCES
Good attendance is imperative to a dancer’s progress. The School at Steps administration and faculty appreciate advance notice of necessary absences. Students will be allowed four make-up classes at or below their level. Students with inconsistent attendance may be dismissed from their class and/or moved to another class.

TARDINESS
The slow warm-up of muscles is crucial to the prevention of injury. Students more than 10 minutes late may be asked by their teacher to sit and observe the class.

MAKE-UP CLASSES
Students are entitled to 4 make-up classes per class in which they are registered. Make-up slips should be obtained from the School at Steps office prior to the make-up class. You may not use make-ups to enroll in a new class. No make-up classes can be used during Observation Weeks.

LITTLE STEPS I
A parent or caregiver must accompany students in the classroom for the duration of the class. No siblings or babies are allowed in class; adults need to be fully available to assist the students.

CLASS CHANGES
A student cannot change classes and/or move to another level unless approved by the administrative staff. Students are allowed, without charge, one class change. Any additional changes will incur a $25.00 service fee.

INJURY OR LOSS OF PROPERTY
The risk of injury exists in any physical activity. Please consider this before enrolling your child. Steps cannot be held responsible for personal injury or loss of property. Personal possessions should not be left in dressing rooms or restrooms under any circumstances.
