We support and clap for everyone. Everyone is on the same team; we love dance and dancers. No one is allowed to make negative talk about another team or a member of our team, despite their personal choices in attire, movement, or behavior in public. We offer to help each other in all ways, sharing back up attire and accessories, and assisting each other whenever possible. We are respectful to all adults, especially parents, and the parents agree to these values as well. We will strive to give each other positive feedback and constructive critiques that lead to quality performances. We practice and perfect our technique as well as our performance skills; the best performer is one who makes the audience feel something! No one person is more important than anyone else and all efforts to improve add to the strength of our team and the quality of our character as human beings. We take responsibility more seriously than awards and work to praise the ones who make our dreams possible: our parents, our teachers, and most importantly, God!

Behavior in Classes
We expect that you will be open to new teaching styles, new styles of dance, and new choreography. We don’t ask that you absolutely love everything, but a positive attitude when approaching new things will make it that much more enjoyable. You get out what you give in!
Attire for Classes
The same as is expected of you at Dance Foundations. In addition, dancers must also have a cover-up over costumes or dance attire at all times in the lobby of the hotel to maintain modesty.
Behavior in Competition
As Performer
Come prepared to the Competition an hour in advance of your performance time (these times will be emailed) with hair and make-up done. Make sure you warm-up for your dances! No eating in costume. Please listen to all instructions from backstage helpers and teachers. When lining up for a group dance, wait patiently without talking. Practice makes perfect! Rehearse at home and practice prior to performing.
As Audience Member
Clap for everyone! No talking during a performance. Please keep our personal opinions to ourselves until we are in a private situation such as our hotel rooms or back home.
Behavior in Lobby of Hotel
All of the participants from the Competition will be staying in the hotel; it is very important that you do not discuss the class that you did not enjoy or the dance that you thought should have been costumed differently while waiting in the lobby of the hotel, as you never know who is listening. It’s just better competition courtesy! The same goes for comments about our studio and studio members: dancers, parents, and teachers; derogatory comments only reflect poorly on yourself!

Behavior in Competition
If you are in the audience during the competition, please be respectful of all the pieces; no talking during a performance. Clap for everyone! Same as the students, keep personal opinions to yourselves at the event and other public places.
Behavior in Lobby of Hotel
The same rules apply as we stated under student’s behavior in the lobby of the hotel. In addition, we expect that you will be setting an example for your children and refrain from talking negatively, as we would like this to be a positive experience for all. Also, please be responsible for the children in your care; double checking with them that they have all required possessions. If attending classes, please keep conversations to a minimum and in hushed tones so as not to disturb the class or teachers. Ensure that students are eating healthy including fruit, vegetables, and protein for best performances.
