(FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS)
Footwear for advanced team students often changes from term to term depending on the style of dance being taught. A range of dance shoes is required, however, if students are needing to purchase new shoes we recommend ‘holding off’ until we announce which shoes will be used for performances (no point in buying them until you need them!). JFF will advise students at the start of each term of the required footwear for performances.

ATTENDANCE
WEEKLY LESSONS
Good attendance is imperative as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Catch up classes or additional lesson time is not available. Please make every effort to be at all classes and advise of any absences. Advanced classes especially require a committed attendance otherwise your place in the team will be forfeited.
ATTENDANCE
CONCERTS
Concert performances provide many great benefits and allow students the opportunity to showcase their work in a formal theatre setting.
The thrill of performing in front of a live audience, and the experience of being backstage help students to develop an appreciation for dance as a performing art.
At concerts students improve their social and communication skills, learn how to work as part of a team and grow in confidence as their work is acknowledged.
The increase in students enthusiasm and energy after a concert is always noticeable. Concerts are a very special time for our students and we strongly encourage that concert dates are recorded early in the year to ensure availability. Absence at concerts effects the entire team, as such, we ask that you advise as early as possible of any issues with concert dates.
PARENTS & FRIENDS
WATCHING WEEKLY CLASSES
Parents, please be aware that your presence may be daunting to class members, so it is preferred that you leave the students alone while they take their lesson. Parents & friends may be invited at various stages throughout the term to enter the lesson and watch the last 5 minutes of class (always at the teacher’s invitation). For the comfort and wellbeing of our students we ask that phones are not used to record students work during viewing sessions - teachers are able to demonstrate choreography for recording on your request.
