Production Withdrawal Policy

Students who withdraw from a production after casting, except in the case of a documented medical reason, may incur a withdrawal fee and may impact future casting consideration.

Because productions rely on the commitment of every dancer and family, we ask students to carefully consider rehearsal and performance schedules before accepting roles.
