To maintain a fun and focused dancing environment all our classes, including preschool movement, are "separation" classes. Parent watch times are scheduled at the discretion of the instructor. There is a limit of 6 make-up classes per session. We ask that dancers make-up in classes in their current level. When doing make-ups during the months of Feb, March, April, and before the recital in May please keep in mind that classes are working on their recital dance, which may not apply to your dancer. If the Ann Arbor Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather, we will send an email and post a notice to our website and Facebook page to notify families if we will be open or
not. Weather closure days will not be re-scheduled, your dancer is welcome to make-up the class according to our standard make-up policy. We encourage dancers to take valuables with them into class or leave them at home. Dance Theatre Studio is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please note that not all classes will perform in all the recitals! Further information will be sent home during the course of the year, these decisions will be determined based on enrollment.

Regular t-shirts are not acceptable in class athletic fitted t-shirts are fine, but teachers must be able to easily see the dancers alignment.
