Effort and Attitude:

Each day, students are expected to put in their best effort and maintain a positive attitude. Being on the competition team is intense and challenging, requiring dedication and perseverance. We understand that the training can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it’s essential that students push through difficulties and keep working hard on areas where they excel, without letting negative attitudes or self-doubt take over.

Respect:

Respect for staff and fellow students is non-negotiable. Disrespect in any form will not be tolerated. If a student displays low effort, disrespect, or has continual breakdowns, parents will be notified, and we may ask for the child to be picked up early. Please note that there will be no refunds in such cases.

Support and Encouragement:

We are committed to supporting each dancer’s growth. Throughout the week, we will incorporate affirmations, provide tips for improvement, and suggest activities to help students enhance their skills. While we may offer short time-outs if needed, our primary goal is to encourage students to push through challenges and stay focused on their goals.

The Benefits of Being a Successful Dancer on the Team:

• Skill Development: By adhering to the expectations and pushing through challenges, your child will develop not only their dance skills but also important life skills like discipline, resilience, and teamwork.

• Confidence: As students see their progress and receive feedback, their confidence will grow, empowering them both on and off the dance floor.

• Team work: Being part of a team that strives for excellence creates a strong sense of community and support, helping students form lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.

• Achievement: We know what it takes to be number one, and with consistent effort and a positive attitude, your child will be well on their way to achieving their goals and contributing to the team’s overall success.

We look forward to an exciting and productive week of Boot Camp! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

As we prepare for Boot Camp and Auditions, we want to outline some important expectations to ensure a smooth and productive experience for everyone involved.

Expectations for Parents:

Timeliness:

• Please ensure that your child arrives on time for all scheduled activities. Punctuality is crucial to maintaining the flow of our sessions and respecting everyone’s time.

• Excessive tardiness, absences, or leaving early will result in points being deducted or may affect your child’s placement on the team.

• Communication:Effective communication with coaches is essential. Please use the correct contact information for any questions or concerns: Phone: 816-500-4140 (Text or Leave a message) Email: icestudiosdance@gmail.com

  • • Important: Please do not contact coaches on their personal numbers. All communication should be directed to the official contact details provided above.

Supporting Your Child:

• Nutrition and Rest: Ensure that your child receives proper nutrition and rest, as these are key to their performance and well-being during Boot Camp and Auditions.

• Practice Time: Allow and encourage practice time at home. This helps reinforce what they learn during sessions and builds confidence.

• Feedback: Provide constructive feedback to your child to help them improve and stay motivated. Celebrate their efforts and progress.

• Team Spirit: Encourage your child to be a team player. Success in dance often comes from collaboration, support, and working together as a group.

Prioritizing the Team:

• It is important for your child to be committed to their responsibilities as a team member. Ensuring that they can fully participate in team activities without conflicting obligations will contribute to both their success and the overall success of the team.

Commitment and Time Management Statement for ICE Studio Dance Team

At ICE Studio, we are committed to fostering a supportive and competitive environment where our dancers can thrive and achieve their highest potential. As we strive for excellence, both in practice and performance, it is crucial that each member of our dance team makes their participation a priority.

We have observed that students involved in multiple sports and extracurricular activities requiring weekly dedication have faced challenges that not only stressed the individual dancers but also impacted our team dynamics and necessitated additional practices for rehearsals. To ensure that all team members can contribute effectively and benefit fully from our programs, we will be implementing a strict attendance and tardiness policy starting this season.

We ask that the ICE Studio Dance Team be a priority for you. If you foresee frequent early departures from practice or anticipate being tardy regularly, we kindly request that you reconsider your participation on the team. It is essential for the success of our group that all members are equally committed and available for all scheduled practices and events.

Our goal is not just to excel in competitions but to create a cohesive unit that operates smoothly and efficiently. Your full participation and punctuality are key to achieving this goal. Let's work together to make this season a remarkable and fulfilling experience for everyone involved.

Attendance Policy for Dance Competition Team

At ICE STUDIOS DANCE TEAM, we prioritize commitment and dedication to the Dance Competition Team. Regular attendance is crucial for the team's success, growth, and the development of each individual dancer. Please review the following attendance policy:

Attendance Guidelines:

• All members are expected to make their best effort to attend all regular, technique, and competition classes.

• Members are allowed a maximum of 4 unexcused absences from their competition class during the dance year.

Health Considerations:

• If a member is sick or sent home from school, they should refrain from participating in classes that evening to prevent the spread of illness.

Tardiness:

• Tardiness will not be tolerated. Punctuality is crucial to maintaining a focused and efficient learning environment.

• For every two tardies, the member will receive an unexcused absence.

Pre-Competition Practice:

• All team members must be present at the last practice before a competition or performance.

• Important information, last-minute corrections, or changes will be communicated during this practice.

• An unexcused absence from the practice before a competition/performance will result in the member not participating in that event.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we encourage open communication. Please inform the Dance Team Director or relevant instructor as soon as possible in case of an unavoidable absence.
