You can help in the following ways:
1. Make sure your child attends class! It isn’t fair to them or the rest of the class if they get behind learning dances.
2.Make sure your child is on time—wearing the appropriate
dancewear and shoes and with their hair up. (Try getting to class 10-15 minutes ahead for younger children!)
3.Try to be respectful of the class in session by keeping voice levels and other noises at a low level.
