PARENT AND DANCER RESPONSIBILITIES

Emails are our main form of communication. Parents and dancers will be made aware of important dates, meetings, rehearsals and other necessary information ahead of time. Communication must be consistent between parents, dancers and the Competition Coordinator, Macy.

Drama creates weakness. We want to avoid drama and have a strong team. Dancers and Parents are expected to abide by our Member & Parent Code of Conduct.
