CONFLICTS
All conflicts need to be listed on audition forms. Any other conflicts will need to be approved on a case by case basis. Only two excused absences are permitted per semester. Only one unexcused absence per semester. Unexcused means: no showing or other reason for missing rehearsal that was not approved by Kelby or Kristen. Any more than that will result in removal from certain numbers or entire performances without the option of tuition refund.
It takes a village!
Aspire is growing! 3 years old and we have learned so much! Our staff is expanding which allows us to focus even more on our young performers to give them the best experience possible.
PARENT LIAISONS
“It takes a village!” At Aspire Performing Company, we believe that strong communication and collaboration with parents are essential to the success of our young performers. We are looking for parents who would be interested and willing to play the role of parent liaison volunteer for their performer’s group.
