Additional Information All students are expected to conduct themselves with self-control and with the utmost respect for others. If a student acts in a manner that would put himself, herself, or anyone else at the Studio at harm, that student will be promptly dismissed! Parents will be informed of their child s negative behavior. Listening and following directions in class is a very important part of dance. Disciplining a dancer takes away from the class time, which is not fair to the other students. Please feel free to ask me questions as long as it does NOT interrupt class time. We are always open to positive comments and suggestions. Sarah s Dance Academy has the right to dismiss a student or family for any reason at any time. Pulaski Polka Days Parade.
