To make the most of your class time, take the time to review your choreography at home, so that when you come back to class, you will be ready to learn additional choreography rather than re-learning your previous week's work.

If you've had to miss a class, get one of your classmates to help catch you up before your next class. That way, you won't hold up the rest of the group and you'll have more time in the end for polishing and perfecting your dance!
