Black out for Performances - 2 weeks prior to all performances every effort must be made to attend all rehearsals. This could include non-scheduled days. Please try not to request time off.

Ballet IV & Company - Guest Choreographers. Nationally recognized Master Teachers/Choreographers have pre-set schedules. In order to get them to come to PRB, we have to rearrange our schedule. The weekly schedule will change at that time. We will post the changes as much in advance as possible. If it is not possible for your child to attend these classes, we need to know as soon as possible. This will enable us to tell the choreographer that your child is not available for the choreography. The student must also tell the choreographer prior to the start of the piece if they are not available for the entire choreographic session.

After school activities - Please try to arrange your activities so they do not conflict with your dance commitment. Three (3) unexcused absences from class or rehearsal may (at the discretion of the teacher or choreographer) result in being removed from choreography. If there is a conflict, please discuss it as much in advance as possible and in person with the faculty. Notes need to be delivered in person. Please report to the office with your note so it can be put onto the calendar. In the event of illness, please call the office prior to the start of classes. Please make every effort to attend all rehearsals and classes.

Makeup classes should be discussed with faculty.

Students should try to be in the studio at least 30-45 minutes prior to the start of class.

Pre-class warm-up reduces the risk of injury.

If you are late, please ask the teacher/choreographer for permission to participate in the remainder of the class. If you are more than 10 minutes late you may be asked to observe, due to risk of injury.

Dressing Room - No one is allowed in the dressing room during rehearsals! You may bring your homework into the studio with you during the rehearsal. Please, no parents in the dressing room. If you are waiting for your child, please wait in the parent's lobby. The dressing room is for dancers and staff only.

Please make every effort to keep the dressing area clean. Throw your trash in the cans.

No colored fingernail polish or excessive long nails. You may wear pink or clear color.

Only one pair of earrings may be worn for all classes and rehearsals.

No water bottles are allowed in the classroom when you are taking class.

Ballet IV & Company - If you are not selected for choreography, you may be assigned a specific part as an understudy and are required to participate. Please do not ask to leave early.

SUMMER PROGRAMS - All Ballet I, II, IIA III, IIIA, IV and Company students are required to take a minimum of five (5) weeks in PRB's Summer Program, unless otherwise recommended by the Artistic Director. The Artistic Director will make suggestions to selected students regarding outside summer programs.

New students enrolling at the School in September must audition for The Nutcracker if they did not attend the 5 week Summer Program.

Please do not drop your child off or park across the street from the church or on Dauphin Street, in front of the houses, or in the laundromat parking lot. You may use our side of North Enola Drive from the studio to the Lutheran Church and our parking lot.

Additional rules and regulations are printed in PRB's 2011-2012 STUDENT HANDBOOK, which is available electronically by clicking here.
