Scores in dance technique classes:
 

Dance Technique Feedback Sheets (DTFS) are tools for assessment of and communication with the students.  Scores in the DTFS do not guarantee moving up to a next level.  Decisions about moving up, holding at the same level, or moving down are made by the instructor, taking into consideration several different aspects of the student's work in the technique course.  As a rule, students take two semesters of each dance technique level before progressing to the next level.  Exceptions to this rule may occur.  When exceptions occur, they will be reviewed by the technique committee.  To initiate the review process of an exceptional situation, the faculty member raising the exception needs to contact the chair of the technique committee, who will bring the case to the entire committee for review.  The final decision will then be communicated to all concerned parties.
