2. Minis (Level 1)
3. Juniors (Level 2)

D. Attendance & Time Commitment

Attendance will be taken and noted at each class. If you have three unexcused absences, RCDC will discuss the best option for your child going forward. If you have an emergency, please contact RCDC, BEFORE class, not after, if possible. RCDC will make an effort to be understanding with accommodating schedules, but the ultimate responsibility for attendance lies with the dancer and parent/guardian. All dancers must be picked up after class within 15 min. If parent is going to be late, a call must be received. If consistent tardiness occurs, an alternate plan would be discussed to ensure tardiness doesn't continue. Schedules will be discussed and posted in advance with holiday cancellation dates and other special events.

Due to the teaching format of each class, we prefer that parents do not stay with their child inside of the dance space. This ensures both the focus of each student and the learning environment to be the best possible.

E. Professionalism

As an RCDC dancer you should display a professional working attitude during classes, preparations for performances, and to all other dancers. Group energy must be maintained – a positive atmosphere promotes growth. RCDC is a family and it is fully expected that each individual within the company contributes to the group as a whole.

Everyone is expected to be on time and stretched by class time. If 10 minutes late, you are asked to notify someone so that the instructor can be aware of the child’s tardiness. If you are more than 10 min late, you will not be allowed to participate in class, only observe; no exceptions for this rule! You will not be refunded for that particular class, if you are absent or miss the class. Only water is allowed in the studio. No food or sodas/juices allowed inside the studio space to keep the cleanliness of the studio.

If your child has to be removed from the studio, a written notice within 30 days has to be provided to the studio. There will be no fees refunded on any circumstances (i.e., recital, costume, tuition).

F. Calendar and Closings

* RCDC follows most traditional Public School's calendar except Jewish holiday closings. (RCDC is opened during Jewish holidays)
* RCDC will communicate closings and delays via email and/or text
* Make up classes, if necessary, will take place in May and/or June
* Tuition will not be prorated or refunded due to weather related issues

* Honor their teacher and dance mates by giving full attention and cooperation in class
* Refrain from engaging in disruptive behavior individually or with other students during class
* Refrain from Interacting with cell phones/ other technology during class Parents will be made aware if dancers are not adjusting well to the classroom environment.

In the event that RCDC has a concern with a dancer, a meeting between RCDC, the dancer, and any other party involved will be held. Depending on the severity of the issue, a warning will be given. Each dancer is allotted 2 warnings of the same issue within a 6 month period and/or three warnings of different issues within a 6 month period before the dancer is asked to sit down. The following will result in immediate dismissal: delinquent accounts, inappropriate behavior and destruction of studio or other student's property.
