Missing class?
Your child’s punctuality and regular attendance in class is very important for their growth and understanding, their comfort in class, to their peers and our teaching staff. It is a commitment for you to ensure your child attends their classes on time each week and attends all lessons planned for them. Not only do absences impact the concert routines we create, it also impacts the social and confidence-building principles we work hard to foster in each age group.
Should your child miss a class you must notify us of the absence by completing the form below. We encourage your child to take a catch up class. Notification of a catch up class is required by the parent/caregiver to ensure the duty of care of all dancers is maintained and that the teacher of the catch up class is aware that your child is coming. Please note that it is the parents/caregivers role to organise the notification of the catch up class. NO refunds, discounts or credits are given for any missed classes. Catch up classes are a goodwill gesture offered to our students and are not redeemable as class credits.

Should your child be sick/away on the final week of term you will be unable to arrange a catch up clas
VIDEOS SENT OUT EACH TERM
When families miss a class and complete the above missed class form they receive a video. This video has been made so that children that miss a week or two of lessons can do the video as a "catch up" class. Rising, Shooting and Shining Star Students will also have access to an APP for additional class work.
CLASSES ARE NON TRANSFERABLE
Your child's classes cannot be transferred to another child. In the event that your child cannot attend a class, your child can attend a catch up class during the same term. Another child cannot take their place in the catch up class. Should you leave class early you are not entitled to a refund or credit.
