"Training and Inspiring Dancers
and Teachers of Tomorrow"
              Summer Session 2010

Dates:  July 12, 2010 Mon - September 4, 2010 Sat

About Summer Session
Students typically register for the next grade level for Summer
Session.  For example, a student currently enrolled in Grade 1
would enroll in Grade 2 for the Summer Session.  Please check
with the instructor if you are unsure of the correct grade level.

Advanced registration is appreciated as instructors require time
to choreograph Summer Dances based upon the number of
students in each grade level.

Summer Dances will be performed at the Annual Showcase in
May 2011 (see Note below).  
Rachel's Ballet staff and parents
will jointly decide if costumes are needed for summer dances.  
If costumes are chosen, students must pay an additional cost
for summer dance costumes.

Note:  Enrollment in the Summer Session alone does not
entitle a student to participate in the Annual Recital.  Only
students who have enrolled for the Fall/Spring School Year,
paid the Flat Fee by Grade Level, and attended the full number
of classes per week for their respective levels are eligible to
participate in the Annual Showcase.

About Honor Dances
They are by invitation only. If selected, students MUST attend
Summer Session AND the regular Fall-Spring School Year.  
Honor dances may also be taken to competition, such as YAGP
Youth America Grand Prix, which will incur additional costs.  
The decision will be made by the instructors and the parents by
the end of August as to whether a particular Honor Dance will
be taken to YAGP.  There is no Sibling Discount on Honor Class
tuition.  If less than five (5) students enroll in an Honor Class,
then Private Lesson rates will apply (Solo, Duet, Trio, or Group).

About Absences
Students absent more than two (2) weeks during the Summer
Session will
not perform the Summer Dance or Honor Dance at
the Annual Showcase.  Students absent during Summer
Session can make-up classes missed anytime during the
Summer Session.
