Please WRITE YOUR NAME IN ALL YOUR DANCE SHOES and keep them in your dance bag at all times.
Spectators:
No one is allowed to stay in the classroom as it distracts the students. You are welcome to stay in the waiting room, which has an observation window.
Recital:
There will be an annual on-stage production in June. More information will be given in your monthly dance notices. Please make every effort to attend each dance class in order to be properly prepared for the recital. Students are not required to be in the recital, however, it is a good experience for the dancers, giving them confidence and a sense of completion.
Costumes:
Costumes may be ordered as early as mid-October. Your costume deposit (per costume/per routine) is due with your registration form or your registration will not be accepted.
NO REFUNDS are given after costumes are ordered.
Snow Days:
If Chester School is canceled due to severe weather, daytime classes (starting before 3:30 p.m.) will automatically be canceled. However, this does NOT necessarily mean that evening dance classes are canceled. We will send an e-mail to you by 2:00 pm if classes are canceled for the night.

If you are absent for any reason, or have a lesson canceled, you are welcome to make up the class missed in another scheduled class appropriate for your age and experience level.
