CLASS CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS: Class changes or cancellations may be made based on enrollment. If a class must be canceled, those affected students will then be placed into another class which best suits their level of experience at the discretion of the director.

CLASS LEVELS AND PLACEMENT: Students are continually evaluated during the year, and in particular the first month of classes is used for review and assessment to make sure that each student is properly placed. LDC wants to make sure that each student is able to keep progressing and meeting the specific goals for the year. At the end of the year, all LDC students will be evaluated in May for their class placement for the next year. The director of LDC reserves the right to place or move students to a different class thani they originally registered for, based on technical ability.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS: Students are expected to arrive to class on time, having used the bathroom before class, with their hair up and in the appropriate dress code for class.

CLASSROOM OBSERVATION: Legacy Dance classes are closed to weekly observation (except for Move with Me classes). This allows dancers to learn in a comfortable environment where they are able to let their guard down and absorb the materials being presented by their instructors. We will have several occasions each year when parents/guardians may be invited into the classroom to observe a demonstration of what their dancers are learning. We would like to remind you that performing in front of a crowd is intimidating for some children while others revel in the experience.

CLOSINGS: We will follow the New Fairfield Public School closings for weather-related and emergency closings. If schools are delayed, morning classes are canceled.
