dansko’s Expectations

Expectations of a danskore member are:

- To be a positive role model inside and outside of the studio

- To be positive and supportive toward your peers

- To achieve a strong work ethic while in class and always try your best

- To use your class time wisely and practice outside of your studio time

- Wear proper dance attire to all classes. (See website for class requirements)

Absence

Please ensure that you phone or email the office to let us know if you will be away from class and the reason for the absence.

It is helpful for us in assisting each dancer’s progress if we are aware of any health issues, injuries or any other situations that may arise throughout the year. If you are absent for more than 3 classes in a row you will be required to do a make up class. Poor attendance will not be tolerated.
