Please understand that a lot of time and hard work goes into choreographing routines for performances. The choreography for each performance is customized and tailored based on the dancers that sign up to dance. The choreography is done well in advance of the first practice. We do not take lightly to dancers backing out of a commitment at the last minute. Please review our expectations below:

• Dancers who sign up for a performance are expected to uphold their commitment and attend all practices for that performance as well as the performance itself.
• We understand that there are times when a dancer may have to back out of a commitment. In this case, please give Amelia or Kerrilynn at least 2 weeks notice. This will give the teachers and dancers time to make the necessary changes to choreography.
• Should a dancer not uphold their commitment prior to the 2-week rule stated above, they will be subject to a suspension from the next scheduled performance and will not be asked to participate.
