DANCE TEAM

COMMITMENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

Welcome to the 2026 - 2027 dance season! Participating in any of the SOCA AIl Stars Inc Program is a privilege, not a right. As a member of the Ruby Red All Stars dance program, for the dancer who loves to perform, our program provides an opportunity to learn, advance, showcase, and compete. Team activities include competing in dance competitions, and performing at other venues during the year, in addition to team bonding experiences such as team rehearsals, dinners, planned activities, and lock-ins.

Our dance team requires a higher level of commitment for both the dancer and the parents. This packet has been put together to hopefully outline what is expected of the dancer and their families.

The following are policies necessary for a smooth and productive year. It is of the utmost importance that each dancer and guardian read and understand this agreement.

Please make all family members aware of our policies to avoid conflicts during the year. This includes anyone who may drive the dancer to and from practices/performances, pay for tuition/fees, or attend performance events.

COMMITMENT CONTRACT

Our goal is to provide quality dance education in a supporting and caring environment. Our company's program is intended to support this goal, while also giving students additional opportunities to perform as well as learn teamwork, dedication, and responsibility. The following outlines our expectations of our dancers.

1. Be a good teammate: including dancers, not on your own team. Congratulate each team member by name after performances, offer to do their hair during a quick change, or lend them your mirror! Small things like that go a long way towards building team spirit.
2. Be a good Team Sister/Brother! This year each senior dancer will be paired with another junior dancer to be Team Sisters! It is your duty as a BIG sister to assist your LITTLE sister including but not limited to leaving encouraging notes, assisting with costumes, bettering their dance level, cheering them on, helping with homework and so on.
3. Be respectful of others! Whether it's in the studio, outside the studio, at competitions, performances and wherever we gather as a team. Say please and thank you to your coaches, staff at competitions, etc Please be respectful and kind to your dance sisters, coaches, staff and all adults present. There is zero tolerance for PROFANITY, BULLYING, FIGHTING, and DISRESPECT!
4. Don't direct your teammates! Do not direct fellow dancers unless you are told to do so. While I do expect you to hold your dance sisters accountable, please refrain from negatively critiquing while in practice. If something needs to be addressed, please pull your coach aside and speak to them one on one because what we want may be different from your point of view.
5. Speak kindly to your teammates! This one explains itself, but sometimes I feel like our dancers spend so much time together and know each other so well that you think you can say whatever you want to each other. Think before you speak. Be inclusive of everyone. Be careful about what you say (again, especially on social media and in text/email. Please remember that a lot of communication is lost when the person you are talking to cannot hear your voice and read your body language. Being sarcastic via text message sometimes comes across as being mean. Think about what you write and how it might be received. As a team, we hope to provide you with the opportunity to learn, grow, perform, and make life-long friends!
6. Ask for help if you need it. From your teammates and Coaches.
7. Clean up after yourself! We love that the studio feels like home to so many of you! But remember that it's also home to a hundred kids beside you. Pick up all your belongings and throw away your trash; it's just good manners.
8. Be prepared! For class, competition and performnances. BE EARLY! Have your hair and makeup done. Stretch and warm up. Be ready to work.
9. Be a role model! Demonstrate good teamwork and good behavior on and off the dance floor.
10. Language! Always use clean and appropriate language. Don't gossip! The studio is a public space. Don't be mean! Don't be judgmental!
11. Social Media! Please be aware that nothing you share on social media is private. Use clean language and do not post anything inappropriate. If you post team pictures, make sure everyone is included/tagged. Don't leave people out/crop people out of pictures, etc. Please do not post videos of choreography more than 20 seconds long during the season. 
12. Please remember that your behavior is a reflection on this program and that any negative consequences will be enforce as per the "Behavior Contract."
13. School Comes First! Please be sure to work hard to complete all school assignments and keep a 2.5 GPA. If your GPA falls below 2.5, you will be asked to sit out or be put on mandatory tutoring until your grades have improved. 3.0 mandatory for stand battle and performance teams. Report Cards are to be given in person or emailed to SOCAAllstars@gmail.com every quarter. Please work together to ensure that everyone has the best experience possible on our Dance Team!
