Dancer Code of Conduct
• Have fun!
• Respect all classmates and teachers.
• Listen attentively during practices or classes.
• Obey dress code
• No negative comments to or about anyone.
• Come to classes and rehearsals prepared. This is called "work ethic". Always give 100% effort. This is called "heart". This will pay off in the end, I promise.
• Tell your instructor before rehearsal if you are ill or have an injury.
• Work together as a team. Support each other with positive feedback. Remember that everyone will have his or her time to shine.
• No negative comments about other studios or dancers.

• Lismore Academy School T-Shirt will be worn to every practice and class.
• Black shorts. Shorts length must be longer than the dancers hands when their hands are closed and down by their sides. No spandex shorts are to be worn unless there is another pair of shorts worn on top. Parents will be notified if their dancers shorts are too short by either email or a note sent with the student.
• Poodle socks are required.
• Dance shoes are required. Exceptions are allowed for injuries.
• Hair is pulled back and away from face. Dancers are asked to wear a headband if hair is layered (to keep hair out of face).
