Class Placement and Levels
* All instructors have your child’s physical and learning ability in mind. All students will be placed in the appropriate level of classes according to his/her teacher’s recommendation.
* Just because a dancer can do a step, does not mean that the step is being executed with proper technique. MCDA works hard to place every dancer in the appropriate level class.
* If your child is having a problem with the level of class he or she is in, please leave a note for his or her teacher. Sometimes changing classes or some extra help can make the difference. Private lessons are available. The overall progress of a class will not be held back to keep a dancer in class with peers or friends.
* Age requirements for all classes and levels must be met by August 30, 2010.

Bad Weather Closing Information
Closings will be sent via email to all studio families, posted on Channel 3 iAlerts and the studio voicemail. You will not receive a refund for a snow day, but you may make up the missed class.
VIEWING
In order to limit distraction, all classes are closed. Parents and family members may view the classes during specific view weeks. We request, if at all possible, that parents leave younger siblings at home during viewing. We realize that it is sometimes hard to do, but it does create a distraction to the classroom setting. This will just help keep distractions to a minimum.
