As Competition Dancers, you represent the studio in all that you do. The highest standards of etiquette are expected of you at all times. In rehearsal, this means you should always be on your best behavior and dressed appropriately in the studio, classrooms, conventions, and competitions.
Behavior: At all times, dancers should be respectful to teachers, choreographers, and rehearsal directors. This includes paying attention during class, keeping chatter to a minimum, following instructors' directions, working hard, and refraining from negative attitude/comments. Inappropriate behavior will be addressed directly with the dancer and/or their parent.
Dress Code: ALL competition dancers should be dressed in relatively form-fitting clothing to help teachers see lines and alignment. Dancers should wear appropriate shoes during rehearsal, which will vary by piece/style and which teachers will discuss in rehearsal. Hair must be tied back from the face at all times (unless instructed otherwise). Bulky jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, and watches) is not allowed, because it may hurt the dancer or others. Small earrings are allowed.
