Enrollment
The Dancing School year is September through May. A student is expected to continue through the month of May. We do not accept students on a trial basis. A student dropping out in the middle of the year leaves the class with a vacancy that may not be easily filled at that time-but which could have been easily filled at the beginning of the year.
New Student enrollment for the 2011-2012 dance year will be held at the
Judith McCarty School of Dancing on
August 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th from 10am-12pm and 4pm to 7pm

Placement
The placement of any student must be left entirely up to the faculty and the Artistic Director. A graded system and placement of students according to training, age and ability or effort guarantees the steady progress of each class and the self confidence of the students. Promotion to more advanced instruction is considered on the basis of individual achievement.
Classes are not necessarily promoted as groups. Home practice is very important to every student’s progress and the time and place for it should be arranged with the help of the parents at the most convenient time for both the student and the family. Students should never perform at school or elsewhere until they have completed at least one year of dance training. JMSD should always be informed of any program on which the student is invited to participate as their performance in a reflection of JMSD, and it is of mutual concern that the dance be well rehearsed. If students enter pageants, etc., we will be happy to work with them privately. Recital Dances may not be used for other programs before the Recital.
