Tardiness: Dancers are asked to arrive to class on time and prepared as part of the student code. It is at the discretion of the instructor to admit a dancer that is tardy.

Cancellations: Unfortunately there are situations when class is cancelled due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances. If class is cancelled by the instructor, every attempt will be made to find a substitute, or a make-up class will be scheduled.

Make-up Classes: If a class is cancelled due to weather or a condition that not controlled by DALA, dancers are invited to make-up the class in an equal or lower level class at no additional cost. It is the responsibility of the family/dancer to attend the make-up class. Please notify the office if you are intending to make-up a class in another class.

Absence: Dancers are invited to take a make-up class in the event they are absent from one of their classes. Please notify the office if you are intending to make-up a class in another class.

Trial Class: If you would like to try out a class new to your schedule, the first one is always free to see if it’s a good fit. If you are new to DALA and would like to take a Trial Class please fill out the LIABILITY WAIVER [+].

Level Placement: At DALA, we level students based on ability not just age. We use age as a starting point.

Annual Evaluations: At the end of the year, DALA completes evaluations for dancers in the top 4 Ballet Levels. These evaluations are intended to highlight progress and advise on opportunities for improvement.

Parent Observation Week: DALA holds two Observation weeks per school year. This is an excellent occasion to sit in and see your dancer in action during their training.

Photography: Any photographs of class or rehearsal are prohibited due to copyrights and student liabilities.
