Class Expectations:

• Be in the locker room on time and dress out quickly.  You will be assigned a locker and given a lock.  If you lose your lock, the replacement fee is $4.00 .
• Be prepared for class.  Appropriate dancewear: bottoms – dance/exercise pants, capris or soffee shorts w/spandex; tops – P.E. shirt, or a plain t-shirt. Dance shoes can be used but are not mandatory.
  
• Hair must be kept out of your face.  
• Pay attention during warm-ups, stretching, center combinations, across the floor work and choreography. 
• Make-up Work – If you are absent you will have the opportunity to do make-up work.  If you are a member of the Dance Club, you receive 2 excused absences (no points lost). 

Class Rules:

• Personal Best – Don’t compare yourself to others; just keep practicing and do the best you can do.
• Appropriate Language – Use only those words that are appropriate in a classroom setting.
• Active Participation – Come to class ready to dance.  Dance is a way of expressing yourself and releasing tension. 
• Respect – Everyone in your class has feelings.  Respect those feelings by being polite and considerate to others.  Also, when someone is teaching a dance, NEVER criticize the choreography. 
• Trust – In order for your class to dance well as a group, you have to learn to trust each other.  You can earn that trust by doing your best to learn the skills and dances.
•  You are important – Be yourself and just have fun.
