I. Dedication: The art of dance is about constantly growing and evolving.
YOU have the potential to do anything you put your mind to, but YOU must be willing to work hard!
Show up for class with an eagerness to learn, a CAN-DO attitude, and readiness to give it your all.
Never give up. Never think you're above trying harder. Always challenge yourself to be better.
A dancer who puts his/her best effort WILL receive a more rewarding experience.
Be grateful for constructive feedback, it’s what will make you better!
Honor your teacher by paying attention in class and thanking him/her at the end of class.
II. Inclusion: EVERY student is entitled to the best dance education.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Dancers, teachers, and parents must help to sustain an INCLUSIVE environment where all dancers are supported, regardless of age, level, or hours.
Dancers must build each other up as teammates. No one should feel that he or she is better than others just because they dance at a higher level.
Embrace ALL students in your class, regardless of differences in skill level or background.
A dancer should be able to attend class without feeling self-conscious or alienated.
Friendships at dance are important. Nurture these relationships while also making new friends.
III. Community: TDA is an inclusive, nurturing dance family.

There is ZERO tolerance for bullying of any kind, whether it be in person, on social media, or texting.
Don’t gossip about a person behind their back or on line. Always be friendly and have compassion for others. Parents should be mindful and positive about other peoples children when speaking about them or should refrain altogether from doing so.
COMMUNICATE to your teacher if you are feeling uncomfortable about a situation.
