RARA School for the Performing Arts program offers a wide variety of dance classes (preschool, tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, hip hop, acrobatics) for children and adults beginning at 2½ years of age. We teach these classes in terms. Our RECITAL TERM begins each September when students are enrolled for the two semester program, ending with the “grand finale”- our recitals in June presented at a local high school. Some dancers enjoy non recital classes taught in 8-12 week terms throughout the year (fall, winter/spring, and summer). The summer term provides students the opportunity to strengthen skills or sample new classes in a short 8 week session beginning each June. COMPETITION &ENSEMBLE CLASSES: Annual auditions are held each June. (see brochure listing.) LOCATION: Dance classes are taught at our center located at 500 East Second Street in downtown Rochester. The center features four studio classrooms, each with an observation monitor for viewing. INSTRUCTORS: Our dance teachers are trained, mature and sensitive to the needs of both children and adults. They teach to develop technique and self-confidence, not stress, enhancing body image, strength and agility through dance. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Please make every effort to have students at each class. More than one absence in the last six weeks of the recital term (April 23– June 2) could jeopardize the dancer’s performance opportunity. DRESS CODE POLICY: Dancewear is worn for all classes. Students cannot dance in street clothes. See dancewear and shoe requirements . MAKE-UP POLICY: There are no make-up or refund opportunities for students who miss class due to illness, travel, family situations, etc. Classes cancelled due to inclement weather conditions cannot be made up or refunded. There will be make-ups scheduled in the event that class is cancelled when an instructor is unable to conduct class.
