In the absence of an emergency or illness, all Dancers / Parents are expected to advise the Instructor(s) of a planned absence no later than 48 hours prior to the practice, performance, fundraiser or other event.
 
All Dancers and Instructors are required to perform at this year’s Greek Festival and International Festival. This is defined as follows:

  • Greek Festival (Sept 14, 15, 16) – 80% of scheduled performances
  • International Festival (Sept 28, 29, 30) – at least 1 performance

 
All Dancers will be required to attend at least 75% of all practices. There are a total of 20 practices; therefore, a dancer may only miss up to a maximum of 5 practices.
 
Absences due to any of the following are considered excused and will not count as a missed practice:

  • St. Stephen’s Summer Camp
  • HDF Camp Oratorical Festival

If a Dancer is unable to meet the attendance policy, as outlined above, they are eligible to perform at both Greek Festival and International Festival but will be assessed by their Instructor. In the event they have not sufficiently mastered a specific dance, they will be asked to step out for that dance during the performance.
