Can parents leave while   the class is in progress?   A: Yes, the children in our Pre-school program must participate in the classes independently.   Parents are welcome to wait for their children in the lobby.

Shelves and coat hangers are provided   downstairs for these items.   Q. Do you have an observation window so I can watch my child's class?   A. Auburn Dance Center does not have observation windows into the studios. We feel   that it is distracting to the students and instructors.

However, we do offer parents three observation times   during the year to check on the progress of their child.   Q. May I videotape or photography my child's class?   A.

Classes must   be made up immediately.   Q. Do boys take dance?   A. Yes, Auburn Dance Center classes are not gender specific.   Q.
