Article 2 – Attendance and commitment

  1. Attendance
    Students must attend regularly. No reduction or compensation will be granted in case of absence, except in duly justified cases of force majeure.

    • Students must wear clean, comfortable, and dance-appropriate clothing. Shoes must be clean, and jewelry or objects that could cause injury must be removed.
