They are expected to stand in the fifth position, facing outward, and smiling.

  • We expect our dancers to always maintain a grateful attitude during competition and for the duration of awards ceremonies. This includes clapping/cheering for everyone on their team and the other teams on the stage. Any negative remarks, disappointed faces, or fit-throwing of any sort will NOT be tolerated.
