Attendance
Students must be on time for class! Students who come late to class may be asked to sit out and observe. Dancers must participate in class warm up! Lack of warm up could result in injury. The instructor will use their personal judgment to make this call.
A minimum attendance level is required. Please call the studio if your child is going to miss more than one class. We understand last minute things come up; however notice of your child’s absence is preferred.
Make Up Classes
No refunds will be given for missed classes. If you are interested in making up a class due to absence or inclement weather closings, please see the front desk.

Take a Bow Dance Center has one bathroom within the building. Parents, please allow time for your children to use the bathroom before class as to not delay and/or disrupt instruction.
