Parents are advised that the audition process is a valuable learning experience. However, auditioning does not guarantee acceptance into these programs. If chosen, students must be willing to commit to a rehearsal schedule agreed upon with parental consent. If this agreement is violated the choreographer is given the right to dismiss the student. A student may only be excused from a rehearsal if it is an emergency situation, prior commitment to their physician, or an injury.
All absences require a written explanation from a parent or guardian.
It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the rehearsal schedule and to inform parents or guardians of changes. Choreography is a very special learning experience for the developing young artist. Dance majors at PCCA have the opportunity of working with some of the most prolific artists in the nation. With such a great opportunity comes a responsibility which is necessary to ultimate growth. All PCCA dance majors, if starting in their freshman year, must take a minimum of eleven credit hours of coursework in the Dance Department.
