  • If Petoskey Schools are closed due to snow, there will be no classes.
  • If a student is out due to Covid-19, they may still participate in class via Zoom. Please contact the Assistant to the Artistic Director for a Zoom link.
  • If a student misses class, they may make it up any time during the current session by taking an additional class offered at their level during the week.
  • If a student has an injury, they are encouraged to watch class and take notes.
  • Dancers must arrive to class on time prepared and ready to dance.
  • There is absolutely NO talking during class, unless it is a question or comment to the instructor.
  • No gum or food may be brought into the studio for ANY reason.
  • Students must follow the School of Ballet dress code.*
  • More serious students are encouraged to attend more than one class per week, as regular study ensures more rapid progress.
