Class Resources & Policies
Monthly Focus: Each month I will focus on a specific quality I feel necessary to build on the dancer’s foundation. We will have a dress-up day at the end of the month reflecting a theme. Do not panic if you arrive in the parking lot and see everyone in a crown or a super hero cape. I will always be prepared with extra accessories!
Parent Observation: You will be notified a couple of weeks in advance about parent observation day. You will be invited in to the classroom the last 10-15 min of class to observe your dancer’s progress.
Lost and Found: I try to collect lost items before I leave for the day. Items left in the hallway or classroom will be placed in the lost and found bin located at the end of the halls just past the restrooms.
Encore Photos: Please email me pictures from your dancer’s Encore Adventures. kim@ecdance.com
