Please fill out this application by June 30th. Please note that we are not able to place every applicant each year. Additional positions may be added as the season progresses. Assistants are used in classes for 1st grade and younger, some 2nd-5th grade classes, and technique classes with approval from the Dance Director.  

Assistants are placed by a combination of the following:
1) Number of classes that need extra help due to higher enrollment.
2) Your availability during classes that require assistance, and location that needs assistance. Please keep in mind most of our younger classes are earlier in the evening. Those applicants with availability for BOTH locations will receive the most hours/priority scheduling.  
3) Type of classes you are best suited to assist.  
4) Performance in previous years of assisting if applicable.
5) Attendance and Attitude in your current dance classes.

Code of Ethics:    
I will demonstrate respect, loyalty, maturity, patience, and kindness to my students, my peers, my parents, my teachers, and other visitors to The Academy of Performing Arts both when I am assisting classes and when taking classes.
I will treat children of all races, religions, cultures, & backgrounds with respect.
I will share my love of dance with my students in an encouraging and positive way.
I will follow the dress code set forth by The Academy of Performing Arts.  This includes having my hair pulled back and wearing my class assistant shirt, and appropriate pants and shoes.
I will make every effort to attend every class I agree to assist.  This includes arriving in a timely manner and calling ahead when I am sick or unavailable. I will notify The Academy of Performing Arts if I am unable to continue my commitment so that another dancer may have this opportunity.
Subbing and Credits:
If I am unable to assist a class, I understand it is my responsibility to find a sub.
If I am able to find a sub, I understand that the assistant credit for that class will be credited to my sub.
If I am unable to find a sub, I understand I will not receive a credit.  
If I am unable to find a sub more than 2 times in one month, I understand that the class maybe given to another assistant.
As a parent or guardian, I understand that I will receive credit for all the classes that my child has assisted that month at the end of each month, before the next billing cycle.
Summer assistant credits will be given at the end of the summer session to be used for fall tuition.


Please remember we are unable to finalize assistant schedules until team placements and your individual class schedule is done.
Most assistants will receive their school-year placements by mid-August unless we have a summer position available.  
Thank you for your application!
