To Bring to Class:
All Dancers: Notebooks and pens
Primary/Beginners: Skipping rope, 2 meter sticks
All Others: Jig shoes, skirt, swords
Attendance:
Please come to your classes at least 15 minutes early, so that you have time to change, talk with your teacher, check the information table, and warm up. Remember to allow for possible delays, such as traffic or weather. Consistent attendance will benefit your overall learning, confidence and knowledge, and will ensure that you do not fall behind the rest of your class.
Absence:
If you know you are going to be away, please notify your teacher, or KR, as your absence does affect lesson planning. If you are sick on a Saturday class day, please notify your teacher as early as possible. If you have not been able to reach your teacher before she leaves home, you may call the SHCC at 564-1062, between 8am and 9am and ask to speak with your teacher or with KR. (For weekday evening classes call or email your teacher during the day to notify her if you are unable to attend)
Refreshments:
Note: No food (especially peanut products) or gum are allowed in any studio. Teachers will give water breaks during each class.
Attitude:
Come mentally and physically prepared to your class, so you can put forth your best effort. You will then be happy with yourself, and proud of your accomplishments.
Preparation:
Katharine and Teachers are pleased to help you with extra lessons for preparation for Competitions and Examinations. There will be regularly scheduled classes once per week for competitors and those preparing for high level examinations. Start your lessons in plenty of time so that you will be ready and confident at the time of the competition or the examination.
Information:
It is very important to check the information table or binder every time you come to class for announcements about school activities; e.g. concerts, workshops, competitions, events.
