FAQ

What time should I arrive?

Students may arrive up to ten minutes early for their class. Students must be dropped off in the circle drive at the front of the building. Please follow directions on the signs posted. Parents should enter the drop off & pick-up line from Cass St. Students will be greeted by teaching artists and assisted into the building. Parents should not park and get out of their vehicle.

What if a student needs to miss a class?

Please let us know in advance if a student will miss any classes so the teacher can adjust their lesson plan accordingly. Refunds cannot be made for missed classes.

May parents sit in and watch the class?

In order to help students let go of their inhibitions and develop a strong stage presence, we ask parents not to stay and watch their child in class, as it is often disruptive to the students.

What time should I pick up my child?

Parents can arrive up to ten minutes before class ends to pick up their student. The pick up/drop off point is the front circle drive in front of the building. Please enter from Cass St. & wait in the line until your child is dismissed. The Director of Education will direct students to cars. Please follow the directions on the signs. Our first priority is your child’s safety. A late penalty of $25 per each extra 10 minutes after the class end time will be imposed.

Will there be a performance at the end of classes?

All class descriptions have information about a performance. Some classes perform at the Final Showcase, others have an informal final class performance, and others do not have a performance at all. If a performance is planned, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props or costumes.
