Please notify us ahead of time if you have a schedule conflict that will make you late to class. info@mountainairdance.org
Coming to class late is disruptive to the instructors and other students. Warmup is an extremely important part of class for injury prevention and skill progression.
Late arrivers will be allowed into class up to 10 mins after class start time and receive a list of warmups to do on the side so as to minimize the class disruption.
If you will be more than 10 mins late to class; please stay home.
Extreme weather conditions and emergencies are of course exceptions to this rule.
Repeatedly arriving late to class will result in a conversation with student/parent and may result in being dropped from the program.
