It will serve as an opportunity for parents to complete additional paperwork and discuss SUAI protocol while students participate in their Placement Class. This class will be conducted as a 1hr. dance class determining the placement and schedules of each SUAI student. For the most effective training, students will be grouped by both age and ability i.e., (Group 1 ages 8-11, Group 2 ages 12-16). Students should bring appropriate dance clothes for their Placement Class/Orientation - June 27th
