STUDENT CLASSES REGISTRATION

         Parents of Student Registrants - N.B. -  Before proceeding to registration below, PLEASE

• Check with your child's teacher regarding correct class level. Later adjustments will not be possible. 
• Know the first and last name (and correct spelling) of your child's ballet teacher.  Thank you!
• Remember that you are registering your child, not yourself.  In order for your child's name to appear correctly on his/her name badge at the conference, the name you type in the initial "Name" field MUST be your child's name, NOT yours!  You will be asked later to confirm the child's name; these two must match.  Your name will be requested a bit lower on the form. Thank you.
