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 DAYSIn 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 Sunday afternoon in May.  This is a positive, no-stress experience for the dancers and their parents.
