Parent Code of Conduct:

· I will choose to encourage teamwork and good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all DP students, teachers, and office staff.

· I will encourage my child to the best of my ability at all times and avoid giving him/her technical dance corrections.

· I will choose to place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of any personal desire and encourage my dancer to advocate for him/herself.

· I agree to do my part in keeping the Company drama free by being kind and courteous, and to respectfully and professionally communicate any lingering issues.

· I will choose not to engage in gossip or make negative comments about faculty, students, or other parents at The Dance Project or any other dance studio, but choose, instead, to communicate respectfully.

· I will support my child’s teammates, teachers, and choreographers and resolve to allow the teachers to manage their dancers and choreography as they feel best benefits the entire group.

· I will never post negative material on any form of social media with regard to The Dance Project, its students, parents, or faculty. Doing so will result in an immediate and non-negotiable termination from Company and studio enrollment.

· I understand that my behavior, actions, and attitudes directly affect my child’s dance experience, either positively or negatively.
