Policies & Procedures 2025/2026

ATTENDANCE

  • Regular attendance is important for student’s progress and the progress of the class. Attendance is closely monitored and students who miss excessive amounts of time may be asked to withdraw from the class for their benefit and that of the other students.
  • To participate in the end of year Demonstration Day or any other performance opportunities that may arise, students must have attended a minimum of 80% of their classes during the year. This allows for ~5 missed classes/year.
  • 90% attendance rates are required for Cecchetti Syllabus students in order to complete ballet examinations.

ABSENTEEISM

  • If students are experiencing any symptom of illness that is new, worsening, or unexplained, they are not permitted to attend class 
  • If you know your child is going to be absent ahead of class time, please email conmotodance2020@gmail.com to inform me. This helps with class planning and preparation.

LATENESS

  • All Con Moto Dance classes are structured in specific ways and begin with warm-ups to help prepare students and their bodies for their class. Arriving late negatively impacts the student and is disruptive to the class. Students should arrive ~5 minutes prior to class start time so they are prepared and able to fully participate in the entire class.
  • A student who arrives after warm-up may be asked to sit and observe the class. Participation without proper warm-up may result in injury.

ATTIRE

  • Proper attire and grooming are essential aspects of dance education. Body alignment is critical in dance. How hair and clothing is worn can not only affect student’s dance skills but also the dance teacher’s ability to provide feedback to students. Please ensure students are dressed as outlined in class descriptions and that hair is securely fastened away from face.
