**Very Important Information for Parents and Students!**

Step By Step School of Dance
Competition and Performance Etiquette
  
We would like to take this opportunity to remind students and parents of competition etiquette and protocol.
Dancers should be dropped off in the rehearsal hall 1 hour and 30 minutes prior to performance time in costume, ready with hair and makeup complete. Parents should then leave the rehearsal room. Dancer’s belongings should remain in the dressing room or with their parent, belongings/costumes will not be permitted in the rehearsal hall.
Important – If a dancer does not show up on time to warm up and rehearse with their group, the group choreography is adjusted to compensate for any missing dancers. It causes stress on the group and teacher when dancers show up late. If there is an emergency and you are running behind or unable to attend, please contact us immediately at info@stepbystepdance.ca.
Maintain a positive attitude and always display camaraderie and support for your fellow dancers. 
Adjudication – judges give a critique of a performance accompanied by a mark.  This may be favourable to you at times, and not at others.  It is important to remember that it is one person's opinion of the performance that day and the critiques that the judge gives should be seen as a chance to learn and grow as a dancer.  It is also important to measure your performance based on your own opinion of how you did and to always strive for a personal excellence.  Please do not show disrespect towards a judge or the competition. 
While watching a performance, please show respect to the dancers by staying in your seat and not talking during the performance.
Please do not take photos or videos during performances. This will result in disqualification.
Do not discredit other performances or other dancers.  Please leave the task of critiquing and giving corrections to the teachers. Dancers and parents should only offer support and positive reinforcement.
When backstage please remain quiet and try not to move around. Stay out of the wings and be aware of dancers doing runarounds as well as all of the props.
Please keep the rehearsal hall and change rooms clean.  Pick up your garbage, keep track of your costumes and dance accessories, etc.
Always remember you are representing more than just yourself.  You are representing your family, your teacher, your group and your dance school.  Conduct yourself in a respectable and friendly manner at all times. 
Our main goal is to provide each other with positive and enjoyable experiences wherever possible.  This will encourage teamwork, increase self-confidence and enhance the learning experience of performing at festivals and competitions.

We are so excited to see our dancers perform on stage, and finally have their families in the audience watching! Thank you,

SBS Staff
