Rules and Policies :
At Commonwealth Dance Academy students are taught dance in a nurturing, fun, and disciplined environment. We believe that dance develops self-esteem and confidence as well as grace and poise.
ATTENDANCE: Students benefit from consistent attendance. We expect them to come to class on time, properly dressed for class.
CLASS PLACEMENT: Each student is placed in class according to his/her age, ability, and experience.
SCHOOL YEAR: The school year runs from September to May. There are four 8-week terms. Please call the studio for tuition/registration information.
SNOW DAYS: In case of snow, school may be canceled, but if conditions improve, we may hold classes. . Please call 508-668-4764 for a recorded message. It will be posted two hours before the days' classes are scheduled to start.
PEEK WEEKS: Parents and relatives are invited to watch class in October and March
MISCELLANEOUS: No food or gum in the dance studio. Label all shoes.
END OF SEASON PERFORMANCE: Dance is a performing art. All students are encouraged to participate in the annual recital held on a weekend afternoon in May. This is a positive, no-stress experience for the dancers and their parents.
