We have set the following policies in place in order to keep a safe and enjoyable environment. We feel very strongly that if we create a fun, nurturing, family atmosphere, our students will be able to grow their love for dance and feel comfortable while expressing and developing themselves as dancer
Class placement of students will be decided by Capella’s instructors and will be according to age, previous experience, and ability. The instructor may recommend class advancement as the season progresses. It is crucial for the student to be in the proper class so that they will be able to make the maximum progress.
