Consistent attendance is important for individual progress and for the success of the group. Students who miss an entire month of classes during the season will not be eligible to participate in the end-of-season performance.

The success of this activity depends on the dancer's ability and the team spirit/positive attitude of both students and parents.  Professor de Vicente reserves the right to decide who will continue to be allowed to attend class.  Decisions will be based on the student's ability and the attitude/behavior of both student and parent.

A.  All students who regularly attend classes (do not miss an entire month of classes) will participate in the end of season show, based on their ability to dance.  Students will be selected to perform in the castanet ensemble based on their ability to play the castanets. Professor de Vicente reserves the right to make the final decision as to who participates in each show and in what dance(s).  This is to ensure continuous improvement in the quality of the shows.

B.  Once students are selected to dance in a show, they must commit to participate in all rehearsals and remain at the theater/presentation until the event has ended or until Professor de Vicente has determined that dancers may leave.  Rehearsals will likely occur at times other than regular class hours.  Students that cannot commit must let Professor de Vicente know as soon as possible.  She will then decide if the student will participate in the show.

C. Costume Deposit - All students will be required to provide a $100 security deposit for performance costumes. Deposits will be returned when costumes have been received by the Costume Coordinator after the show.

D. Costume Rentals - Every student that requires a costume that is the property of Carmen de Vicente Spanish Dance Academy will be required to pay a rental fee to offset the wear and tear of the costume (s). The first costume will be $25 and any additional costume $5.  

No parents or family will be allowed in the theater during the week of rehearsal, including dress rehearsal night, unless otherwise specified by Carmen de Vicente.  

There will be no "make-up" classes for missed classes except for weather cancellation.
