Students are encouraged to pay attention to the teacher and try not to focus attention on those in the area not participating. Any persons observing class must do so without taking or distracting the class in session. 11. Please refrain from taking any photography or video during rehearsals and performances. Please refer to our Picture Policy and Video Policy of the Studio. 12. All accounts must be paid in full to be able to perform. Late fees are applied for late payments. All deadlines are final. No exceptions. Please see Performance Contract for further details on Performance Opportunities. 13. Last, but certainly not least, students should learn that a correction from your teacher should be regarded as highly as a compliment or praise. Corrections are good and are the only way we can improve. Some corrections need to be given over and over and over and sometimes for years to build proper posture and strength for dance. Gentle corrections even at a very young age are mixed with lots of praise to build a solid foundation.
