Class Requirements
Class placement is at the discretion of the instructor. Ages listed next to the levels are to be used as a gentle guide line for class consideration. New students on the cusp of an age group may be asked to participate in both classes for the first week in order to assess the correct level of placement for optimum learning and growth. All Ballet students Level Three and above are required to attend two ballet classes per week. Students Level Five and above are eligible to be considered to attend Pointe Class. It is highly recommended that all students studying Jazz or Contemporary also study Ballet as it is the basis of all dance forms. Intermediate, Advanced Foundation, and Advanced level students are advised to attend a minimum of three Ballet, one Pointe Class, Body Conditioning and at least one Elective each week to increase strength, stamina and maintain the proficiency that is required at this level.
​
Absence/Cancellation
Absence/Cancellation: Missed classes due to illness are to be made up promptly. Students are to attend makeup classes within a month of the missed class in a comparable level in any dance form. Students are allowed 4 makeups throughout the year for all dance classes. Private Lessons require a minimum of 24 hour notice for absences. Classes missed due to weather related school closings will receive an email with a suggested makeup class. Tuition reimbursement for missed classes is not offered. If at anytime a parent or guardian desires to cancel his/her child’s program completely, a letter is required. Full tuition for the month the student stops attending classes, as well as the month following, are due at the time of withdrawal. LDA follows the Londonderry School District for weather related closings. When Londonderry Schools are closed due to snow/bad weather LDA is also closed. When Londonderry schools have a delayed opening, morning classes will be cancelled.
Bad Weather
In the event that Londonderry School District cancels school because of snow or ice, our classes will also be cancelled. In the event of a delayed opening, morning classes will be cancelled and all afternoon classes will remain as scheduled. Check WMUR, or listen to WZID 95.7 FM radio or WGIR 610 AM for cancellations. You may also check the updates on our social media accounts to verify cancellations incase of afternoon inclement weather.

Illness
We take our responsibility seriously to create a safe and healthy environment for our families. Barre's and studios are sanitized, and the building common areas are cleaned. We ensure proper ventilation in all studios. We ask that you please assess your child for any symptoms prior to all classes. We ask that students do not attend class for 24 hours after a fever, vomiting or beginning antibiotics. Please do not send your child to class with any symptoms including a cough. Please consider wearing a mask when recovering from any illness. In the event that anyone in your family has any cold or flu like symptoms we ask that you do not send your child to class until they have been evaluated by a doctor.
