Student Placement:

Those students who have previous training will be evaluated and placed with Mr. Mann's approval, in a class with other students who have achieved the same level of technique and accomplishment.

No student will be placed by the number of years he or she has studied, but only by what he or she has accomplished in that period of time.

Class Structure:
..
All classes are structured with allocated time for barre, floor and center work. All students, regardless of age, learn the proper names and techniques of each dance step. Age groups and technique levels are separated, as each age and level learn at a different rate of speed. The studios are so designed with raised floors and mirrors as to aid in proper teaching.

We have a professional staff of "Dance Educators" who have been selected not only for their own performance ability, but more importantly, because of their exceptional ability to communicate their skills to our students.

Student Attire:
..
The Center's policy concerning students attire is based upon tradition, but is found on the necessity of the teachers ability to see muscular movements and spinal alignment clearly.  Wearing the proper dance wear will enable you to benefit the most from your training.

Missed Lessons:
..
Missed lessons are frowned upon.  All lessons at the Center are planned in advance and adjustments in that plan must be made for each student who misses a lesson.

The progress of the class will not be hindered by any individual student, nor will any student be held back from the more rapid advancements by his or her classmates.
