What is OC All-Stars Cheer & Dance?

OC All-Stars Cheer & Dance, Inc. is a private organization serving the top cheerleaders & dancers in South Orange County. OC All-Stars Cheer & Dance provides quality training in a professional, safe, fun and positive environment. We teach technical skills pertaining to cheer and dance emphasizing perfection before progression while developing physical and emotional strength. Our focus is to instill self-confidence and self-esteem and to promote healthy socialization and life skills. The most important goal we have is for your child to have fun and build life long friendships and memories.

While the most obvious way that we help the youth in our program is by bettering their skills and helping them reach their athletic potential, we believe our program serves a higher purpose. Our competitive program’s primary purpose is to teach growing children and young adults how to work together as a team and overcome personal challenges. While each individual’s contribution is certainly important, we feel that team effort is the way to reach your goals. Throughout a person’s life, they will be put in situations where they must work together to achieve common goals. Whether in their professional or social life, teamwork is a lifelong lesson and at OC we teach how important that is.

While the hours, weeks, months, even years of work that go into improving jumps, leaps, and turns will improve your skills and make winning routines, much more important than that are the lessons you will learn about sportsmanship, working together towards goals and striving to win. As we win trophies, banners, medals and plaques to fill our gym and studios, we will be proudest of the life lessons that we have been able to give to the youth in our program.

3 Dance Tryouts PLEASE SIGN UP PRIOR TO THE DAY OF TRYOUTS

PARENT ORIENTATION: Parent orientation will be on Monday, April 28th @ 7pm in dance studio C, to educate parents on our program. We will cover important issues for the 2014-2015 season such as our philosophy, teams, rules and regulations, schedules, fees, costumes, competitions and more. Orientation is not mandatory to attend, however it is very educational and informative on nearly every aspect of our program.

TEAM TRYOUTS: Every dancer must attend tryouts to be considered for a team (except for Tiny Dance). All dancers will be placed on a team, but still need to attend tryouts to see what team is the best fit. If you are unable to attend the group tryout, please contact us immediately to set up a personal tryout. Positions will not be held for any individual trying out after the group tryout. Tryouts are closed to spectator viewing. Please see below for the time of tryouts. Dancers will be split by age during the tryouts.

OC All-Stars reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion which dancer will be selected for a team and which team or teams they will be permitted to join.

Each team will have a mandatory meeting for parents AND dancers during their practice times in June to introduce coaches/dancers and to go over team specific guidelines and expectations for the season. These times/dates will go out at their first team practice.

4 Dance Team Placement

We believe that an individual can excel and will be most happy in the year ahead when placed on a team that compliments their skill level. Furthermore, we believe that all of our teams regardless of skill level will have an extremely successful year. Our ultimate goal is to create balanced teams with strengths in all technical areas of dance. For the best interest of the dancer we reserve the right to move a dancer from one team to another at anytime throughout the season. If the dancer drastically improves his/her skills on a team or is simply not keeping up with his/her teammates on a team - movement may occur. This will also allow us to continue to give your child a happy and positive experience throughout the season. Moreover, we reserve the right to not place or remove any dancer from some or all of our programs if we determine that the dancer and or the dancers’ family are a detriment to OC All-Stars and/or its patrons.

Division assignments are based on the dancer’s age as of August 31st, 2014 for the entire 2014-2015 season. The number of teams offered and practice days/times will be posted on the website with the team placements. The number of teams offered and the practice days/times are subject to change at the discretion of OC All-Stars depending on the number of dancers at tryouts. Tiny Team- 1 hour/week Mini & Youth Hip-Hop- 1-1.5 hours/week Mini Teams- 4 hours/week Junior/Senior Hip-Hop- 2-3 hours/week Youth, Junior & Senior Intermediate- 5 hours/week Youth, Junior & Senior Advanced- 5-6 hours/week

Summer Dance Intensive Camp @ OC July 11th-13th OC All-Stars hires out professional teachers/choreographers during the summer to come to OC and work with the OC Dance teams on all different genres of dance and technique. We will bring in professional dancers from all over for 3 AMAZNG days! This is mandatory for all Mini- Senior team members. This is included in your fees. Tentative times- 9am-5pm (Mini’s 9am-2pm).

Summer Dance Convention- JUNE 7th & 8th We will be attending “2 Days in OC” dance convention. This is highly recommended for all Youth-Senior teams and is NOT included in your fees. The cost is $175 per dancer (or $200 if you want to take both sessions.) It will be held at the Irvine Hyatt and you must sign up with the convention directly. http://2daysinoc.com/.

Choreography Camp The competition routine choreography will take place on the below weekends: August 23rd and 24th, September 6th and 7th, September 13th and 14th, September 20th and 21st, and September 27th and 28th. Each team will attend 3-4 of the above weekends. Exact schedule will come out in June. Please keep all above weekends open as attendance is mandatory.

Weekend Rehearsals There may be times when weekend practices will be called. Coaches will give advanced notice. All practices are mandatory. The Junior & Senior Advanced teams will have mandatory Saturday practices on Saturdays in January & February (when there is not a competition).

Friday Rehearsals The Friday before each competition there will be mandatory practices for all the teams. They will practice with other teams and run their routines in front of one another. This is a great way to warm up for the competition that weekend and practice performing in front of an audience. There is no additional fee for this. They will practice for 1.5-2 hours. Tentative schedule: Tiny- Youth teams- 4-5:30pm & Junior- Senior teams- 5-6:30pm.

5 Competitions/Special Events You will receive a permanent schedule for the competition season no later than August 2014. The cheer & dance competition season begins in November and will go through April. Please remain flexible because we are not in charge of when competition companies release their competition dates for this season. We will get this information to you as soon as possible for scheduling purposes. If you are thinking of making plans on a weekend from November- April before the competition schedule comes out, please discuss this with Heather to make sure it won’t conflict with a possible competition. Tiny, Mini & hip-hop teams attend approximately 7-8 competitions and Youth-Senior teams attend 8-9 competitions.

All competitions are mandatory. Please plan ahead and watch the calendar for upcoming competitions to plan personal time around competitions. It will be necessary for dancers to be at competitions for a majority of the day. Parents are encouraged to provide carpools or arrange transportation for their dancers if they do not want to stay for the duration of the competition. The reason for this is for support of all teams during the competition. If you are sick the morning of a competition it is still necessary to attend the competition. It is not uncommon to compete sick. If a dancer is too sick to attend a competition you must contact the coach immediately. Missing a competition is grounds for dismissal from the team.

OC All-Stars Rules & Regulations

General Rules  Positive Attitude – It is important to keep a positive attitude throughout your training. Remember that you will have good days and bad. A positive attitude is a choice!  Work Ethic – We expect you to always work hard in class/practice from start to finish. You will not achieve your goals without hard work. Excessive displays of laziness and lack of hard work may result in discipline or dismissal from the program.  Gossip/Complaining – Gossip and excessive complaining within the program from dancers and parents is not tolerated and can be the single most potent weapon to destroy our teams. Although we welcome any and all suggestions, excessive complaining about rules and regulations set in stone are reason for dismissal from the program.  Team Interaction - It is important to treat your teammates with respect and dignity, and to be supportive of their development. Personal attacks, abusive behavior and inappropriate joking that may hurt your teammate’s feelings will not be tolerated. Learning how to work within a team environment means learning to accept the differences individuals may have – the differences and skills of each individual build up to make the team better overall. Remember each team performance can only be as good as each individual on the team, so support your teammates and help build up their confidence and skills. Any dancer that is disruptive or abusive to members of any team may be moved to a different team or removed from the program. Attendance  Attendance is critical to the growth of individual dancers which, in turn, benefits the team. We realize you may have pre-planned vacations prior to trying out. All vacations and appointments need to be scheduled outside of regularly scheduled practices. It is expected during the summer that all dancers attend all scheduled practices.  Any pre-planned extended absences outside of the scheduled OC vacation periods must be communicated in writing to the head coach upon acceptance of your position to a team.  If excessive absences are affecting the team, then the final decision comes from the head coach and director of the dance program and is solely their discretion.  Excused Absences are in cases of mandatory school functions that result in a grade for that class (not extra credit), death in the family and contagious sickness, must be communicated to your head coach prior to practice.  Unexcused Absences are jobs, dances, birthday parties, concerts, banquets, family reunions, weddings, school projects, homework, tests, traffic or long distance driving. Learning to manage your time is essential!

6  Team members must be on time to practice. Continual tardiness will be grounds for disciplinary action or dismissal from the team. You are considered tardy to practice if you are not ready to go inside the dance room when your practice is scheduled to start with your shoes on and hair up.  Students must absolutely attend all technique and practice classes the week prior to competitions. If they miss practice before a competition, they may be removed from that competition.  Additional technique classes may be required in order to keep up with the team  If you are sick, you should still attend practice unless contagious. If you are injured, you must still attend practice. Either way, you will not be required to participate. You will, however, be required to watch any changes that may directly affect you.  Dancers may not compete at another studio while competing with OC (school dance/song teams are OK)

Leadership  Each member and parent must be aware of the responsibilities required and the commitment he/she is making to the team.  Each member must be aware that being on an OC All-Stars team is a privilege and responsibility.  While in Team Wear dancers must conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Foul language and/or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated and will result in the immediate removal from the team.

Injuries and Conditioning  All-Star dance can be very strenuous. Therefore, all of the dancers in our program are expected to be in top physical condition. This includes flexibility, strength and technique. If needed, you may be told to take an additional technique class or stretching class.  All team members are expected to take care of their bodies. This means absolutely NO DRUGS, NO ALCOHOL, and NO TOBACCO.

Dress Code  All dancers are expected to wear the proper practice clothing once it is handed out. Coaches will designate what to wear for practices. All members will dress in assigned uniforms at all Dance Team events.  Proper undergarments need to be worn (no bra straps showing etc.)  NO JEWELRY is permitted while practicing or competing  NO GUM is permitted while practicing or competing  Ballet Attire: Ballet pink tights, black leotard, pink ballet shoes and hair in a secure bun.  Costumes and uniforms must be clean and neat at all times (including shoes, tights, accessories, etc.)  Dance shoes must be in good repair.  No nail polish is allowed for any Dance Team performances or competition

Calendar  There will be two (2) two-week team vacations during the summer. This is 1/3 or the entire summer that you will have for vacation. Please schedule all family vacations during this time. June 23rd- July 6th OC Team Break #1 August 4th – August 17th – OC Team Break #2  The following are other important dates for the season.

We are here for YOU.  If you have any questions or concerns that need immediate attention please use the following chain of command: 1.Head Coach 2.All-Star Director 3.Owner  It is your responsibility to wear the appropriate practice wear to every practice.

NO items are to be left in the hall ways and cell phones must be turned off when practice starts. OC is not responsible for personal property you bring to the studio.  NO GOSSIP about any other teams (All-Star or school), NO GOSSIP about a child on your team or another team. NO GOSSIP about coaches and staff. It is much better to address a problem than to listen to idle gossip.  No profanity or abusive language.  You must arrive at all practices, competitions or any scheduled event on time. Punctuality is a MUST.  Please feel free to talk to your coach about anything; just remember to do it at the appropriate times. For example, approaching a coach in the middle of a practice in the dance room would not be an appropriate time.  Never post any negative comments on any websites or chat rooms.  You must get permission to use the word “oc all-stars” or any derivative of that word or team nickname in any form as a user name on websites or in your email address. i.e. ocallstarsmomof2@aol.com , [email protected], etc.  You must get permission to use the OC All-Stars logo(s) for any merchandise and all sales go through the front desk.  Every year we go through losses and additions of team members. The dismissal/addition of a team member is solely the director’s decision.  Practices may be changed or added at any time during the season.  It is the parent’s responsibility to know what is going on with your team. Check your emails (very important!) and the website regularly.  Withholding a child from a practice or a competition should never be used as a form of punishment.  Each team will be assigned teams to watch at competitions. We would love to have everyone there all day, but at the very least, you are obligated to watch your assigned teams.  Parents, relatives, friends and dancers are never allowed to speak with competition officials for any reason. If you have an issue, please come to us first and we can speak to the competition.  Parents are never allowed to represent OC All-Stars under any circumstances concerning accommodations, competitions or any other situation unless pre-approved through the directors.  All OC dancers and family/friends will show good sportsmanship at all times.  OC All-Stars parents are not allowed to contact competition companies regarding questions relating to an OC All-Stars competition.  The OC All-Star Directors may change, add or subtract any rule at any time.  OC All-Stars has the right to exclude any individual from the practices if, in OC All-Stars discretion, it is decided the individual’s presence at practice negatively affects the practices being conducted.  A parent’s negative actions may result in disciplinary actions to the student up to and including removal from the program.

8 2014-2015 Payment Policies Annual Membership Fee  Each dancer is responsible for paying a $65 annual membership fee. Second siblings will pay $45 and third siblings will pay $30.
