Policies
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. Lobby Rules * If you are waiting during your dancer’s class and have children with you, please keep them under close supervision at all times. For their safety no children are allowed into an empty dance rooms or the boutique at any time. Please respect the property of Medina Centre for Dance Art and ADS Theatrical Supply . * Only dry food is permitted in the lobby area. Please be respectful to the studio by cleaning up any crumbs or mess before you leave, including trash. Please return items to their proper place before leaving the studio. * Noise volume in the lobby area should be kept to a minimum as to not disturb classes. * Parents: Please be respectful to the instructor and class in progress by refraining from entering the dance studio while a class is in progress.. * The lost and found box is located in the main lobby.
Parking Lot and Drop Off *Do not block the entrances in front of the Free Enterprise building before 5:00 p.m. *Be respectful of our neighbors; if there is parking available in our lot please use it before you park at the Steakhouse or Free Enterprise. *Children should not walk across the street unescorted - traffic on Medina Street is fast and crazy. *Please be sure to pick your child up promptly after class (especially the last class of the evening.). Children are not permitted to wait outside the building for pick up. If they do not follow the rules we cannot be responsible for their safety. If you are going to be late, please inform your child to wait inside the building . Make Up Classes * If a dancer misses class due to an illness or other circumstance, they are encouraged to make up classes during other appropriate classes. Tuition fees will not be adjusted for missed classes due to illness, vacation, or outside activities. Private Class * Available for students to work on skill gaps and improve technique.

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. Viewing dates are as follows: .
