EXAMINATION

An external examiner from UK will conduct the RAD examination for our ballet students in March.  The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is a recognized worldwide Examination board specializing in dance education and training, with an emphasis on Classical ballet.

All RAD examination details will be announced before the December holidays.

BEHAVIOR POLICY

We are committed to educate our students, model behaviors, and help dancers grow with love and respect in this program. If for any reason a student does not meet the expectations outlined above, Panaga Dance Centre enforces a 3-strike policy with regard to students misbehaving during class.

– Strike 1  a warning; student is still able to participate in dance class.
– Strike 2  a in class time-out, student will be asked to sit to the side of the classroom and observe. The instructor will determine the length of time for the time-out.
– Strike 3 student will be asked to sit down at the side and wait until the class is over. In the case of a Strike 3, the teacher will talk to both student and parent about behavior issues.

GENERAL POLICIES

• Please be prompt in dropping off and picking up your child.

• No gum chewing in the class at any time

• Every child needs to bring their water bottle, but No Food is allowed.

• Observation is permitted from the waiting room windows when the instructor chooses to open the curtains. Please refrain from peeking through the door or opening the curtains yourself. This is a distraction to teachers and students.

Don’t forget that we are always here to help and will happily answer any questions you may have.
