If you do miss a class, it's your responsibility to arrange make up lesson with the front desk if available. Make up lessons can only be offered during the same month if similar age and skill level lessons exists. From October each class will be working on a specific routine and therefore it will be difficult to participate in make-up classes. The work that you are doing in your own class is very important and your attendance is essential. Absenteeism from March onward may result in the student's limited participation in Recital group numbers. In a situation where there are only two people in a group class, then it will be considered as a 30 min. lesson. If only one person shows up for a group class, the class will be canceled.

If a Standing Lesson is canceled two or more times within a month, you risk forfeiting your standing day and time.
There is a 24-hour cancellation policy for all Private Lessons whether you have a Standing Lesson or not. If it becomes necessary to cancel your appointment, we must hear from you at least 24 hours before that lesson in order to avoid charging you for that lesson.
