Punctuality
Your cooperation in enforcing this policy is important!

- The beginning of each class consists of exercises to prepare the student to relax, concentrate, and focus.
- The exercises segue slow muscle warm-up excercises at the barre.
- Students arriving late are distracting, disturbing, and interrupt the fluidity of the training.
- It is the teacher's discretion to allow late students to participate or only to observe the class. Please respect this policy!
- Our classes begin and end on time.
- If for some reason, the class may run a few minutes late, we will confirm with the parents.
