2011-2012 PARENT OBSERVATION DATE
Week of November 7th-10th
(REGULAR CLASSES ONLY- DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY NUTCRACKER OR SPECIAL REHEARSALS OR ADDITIONAL CLASSES)
Observation week is for moms and dads only. If in the case that a parent cannot attend then whoever brings the dancer to class may observe as long as they are an adult. There just is not enough room for mom, dad and other family or friends which is why we limit the number to 2 people per dancer and we prefer they be the parents.
THIS DATE IS TO GIVE THE PARENTS A CHANCE TO VIEW THEIR CHILD’S PROGRESS AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING IN DANCE CLASS. THE CHILDREN LOOK FORWARD TO THIS TIME EACH YEAR TO “SHOW OFF” HOW WELL THEY ARE DOING. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR THE PARENTS TO VIEW THE CLASSES SO THAT IF THE NEED ARISES TO DISCUSS ANY PROBLEMS OR STRUGGLES YOUR CHILD MAY BE HAVING IN CLASS, YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THE STRUCTURE AND EDUCATION GOING ON IN CLASS.
DISCLOSURE: YOU MAY TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOTAPE THE OBSERVATION WEEK HOWEVER, THE PICTURES AND VIDEO CAN ONLY BE OF YOUR OWN CHILD. ANY RECORDINGS OR PHOTOS OF THE DANCER ARE TO BE USED SOLEY FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL FAMILY USE AND NOT FOR DISPLAY ON WEB SITES OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PUBLIC DISPLAY.
FOOD AND DRINKS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT OBSERVATION SO PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COFFEE IN THE CAR.
OTHER CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED AT OBSERVATION UNLESS THEY ARE A DANCER WHO HAS A CLASS FOLLOWING THEIR OWN SIBLING. PLEASE ARRANGE FOR BABYSITTERS
