DANCE

• The deadline to enroll in Dance is December 1st.

• Read the Dress Code for your classes carefully.  Several classes require specific attire to be purchased.
• Tech week (the week prior to productions): Attendance is MANDATORY to participate in productions.
• Ballet Levels 5-8: Your student will be in a Ballet production in May (“Snow White” is the 2023 show) which will require mandatory attendance and later nights during Tech Week (the week before production.)
• Ballet Students: If you accept a specific role in our spring ballet, you are committing to attend ALL rehearsals, including extra Saturday rehearsals in May and every night of Tech Week rehearsals (the week prior to productions).
• Recital Costumes: Younger classes and all Ballet students will have purchased costumes that will become the student’s; older students will have rentals, which are costumes the studio owns and will retain.

THEATRE

• Students MUST be proficient readers to enroll in Theatre.

• There will be at least one mandatory Saturday set-building day per show. Parents are encouraged to help!
• Please read our Class Description for Theatre carefully. Students are taught all aspects of theatre, and therefore their role for a show may be a backstage role.

• 2022-2023 Shows: “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” Theatre II, December; “JoeBob” (comedy about Job) Theatre I, March; “The Fourth Wise Man” Theatre II and select Theatre I, May.

ART

• Enrollment deadline is March 1st. However the later you join, the fewer pieces you will have in the art show.
• All Art students are expected to participate in and attend the Art Show at the end of the studio year.
• Please read our Class Description carefully, as we spend the first semester focusing on Art theory, and the second semester on technique and history. Therefore there will not be as many pieces generated in the fall as the spring.
• Art II students will be asked to help paint sets for productions for other departments. Sometimes this will be during class, but occasionally it will be on a Saturday. We encourage all who are able to participate!
• Students’ artwork will be displayed at all of our productions for Theatre, Dance, and Voice, and will culminate in an Art Show at the end of the year.

VOICE

• Enrollment is open all studio year, however late enrollment may affect your ability to participate in productions and recitals.
• Voice lessons are private lessons, and therefore time slots may not be shared.
• Lessons canceled by the instructor will be made up.  Lessons missed by the students will not be made up, but full tuition is still expected.
