Are there any Holiday Show/Spring Show observation rules? Our program policy is to limit parent observation to the Winter and Spring Holiday shows and ask that parents not observe their children during regular class hours. We have instituted this policy in order to keep the students focused on the dance lesson and avoid the "emotional response" that occurs when young children see their moms and dads. This policy also helps the other students who then want to know "where their parent is".
