Family members may also use a make-up to try a class. Students must be enrolled to make up a class. Make-up classes must be taken within 30 days of the missed class. Please consult with the office to schedule your make-up classes. Classes that are currently waitlisted are not available for make-up or trial classes.

1. To create an atmosphere conducive to learning, teachers require focus and respect from students. Students are expected to refrain from talking that is not related to the teacher’s lesson plan, and to mute cell phones and leave them in their bags during class time. San Diego Danceworks faculty are dedicated to creating the best learning environment possible for all of our students. All students must respect the structure and teaching style of all instructors.

2. Please arrive to class, in proper dance attire, 5 minutes before class start time. Entering class after it has begun is disruptive to the teacher and other students, so if your child is tardy, please advise him/her to enter class quickly and quietly.

1. Please bring all personal items, in a sealable bag. Loose items are liable to get lost, or picked up by another student.

2. Please label all personal items, dance wear including dance shoes with child’s name in permanent ink.
