Pay attention to nutrition. Students of the Conservatory and the Accelerated Dancer Program are especially in need of eating well and staying hydrated. It is important to keep muscles and bones strong in order to deal effectively with rigorous class and rehearsal schedules. See your doctor if you believe you may be injured. Don’t take chances. If you have a pain at one site continues or increases as you are participating in classes, please see your doctor and inform your teacher. Early detection is the key to preventing serious injury. Ice and Massage. If you suspect an injury, the best home treatment is to massage the affected area with ice. Eight minutes of ice massage followed by a five minute break, then eight more minutes of ice massage, 3-4 times per day is usually adequate. Always use a thin cloth or towel between the ice and your skin, or be sure to keep the ice moving. Students unable to participate in class due to sickness or injury must provide their teacher with a written note from their parents and/or doctor in order to be given permission to sit out of class. Students should come prepared with a notebook to take proper notes. Use of cell phones is strictly prohibited during class observation. 2017-2018 Calendar September 5, 2017 First Day of Fall Classes October 9-14, 2017 Bring A Friend Week October 31, 2017 Closed at 1PM November 13-18, 2017 Crazy Bun Week
