Class Policies and Procedures Daily operations: Students are expected to wear a face mask at aLL tIme wIth the mouth and nose secureLy covered. Students are responsIble for sanitIzIng the area in which they occupied before and after dancIng. TIme wILL be given at the beginning and end of cLass to do so. Attendance Policy: Students wILL attend and partIcIpate for the entIre cLass. Attendance wILL be taken at the beginning of cLass. It is the student’s responsIbiLIty at the end of cLass to inform the Instructor of the student’s presence if the student mIsses rolL caLL. OtherwIse, it constItutes as a zero for the day. Late Policy: If you come to cLass late, please stand to the sIde of cLass untIL the instructor aLLows your to join the cLass. This avoids disruptIng cLass and possIbiLItIes for potentIaL injuries to occur. Each late arrivaL results in a tardy. Each tardy wILL result in a 1 point deductIon from daILy partIcIpatIon grade. Three tardies is equaL to one absence. If you are more than 5 mInutes late, you wILL be counted as absent. Absence Policy: Four (4) absences wILL drop you one letter grade (i.e. if you have an “A”, then your rade wILL drop down to a “B”). For every absence here after, you wILL contInue to drop a letter grade. In other words (and if you began wIth an “A” in cLass), five (5) absences wILL result In a “C”, sIx (6) absences in a “D” and so on. Points wILL be deducted from your totaL partIcIpatIon grade for each absence. Excused absences are considered an official university function. Doctor’s appointments and advising will not be accepted as excused absences. Please refer to the student handbook for official verification. Pre-existing or developing health conditions: The instructor must be notIfied by the student of any previous injuries or heaLth conditIons that wILL affect regular attendance and/or partIcIpatIon by the first day of cLass. It is aLso the student’s responsIbiLIty to aLert the instructor immediateLy should an injury and/or heaLth conditIon arises. This incLudes but is not lImIted to: high risk pregnancIes, diabetes, prior injuries that become easily agitated and other various diseases. It is important for students to partIcIpate in both Lecture and movement cLasses. However, it is highly unreasonable for a student to pass a cLass where attendance is sporadic based on her/his heaLth conditIon(s). If the student has such heaLth Issues, she/he wILL be strongly recommended to drop the cLass in order to avoid a less than satIsfactory or poor grades. NOTE: if the student has an injury that wILL prevent her/him from actIveLy partIcIpatIng on movement days but she/he can stILL waLk to cLass, they wILL be expected to attend cLass and take notes. Notes wILL be handed in at the end of cLass for partIaL credit. It is better to receIve partIaL credit than no credit at aLL. ***Should you have an injury that requires you to miss more than 3 movement classes, you will be strongly advised to drop the course. *** Make-up Policy: Makeup work will not be allowed. This is a physical class. The student’s grade is greatLy dependent on daILy partIcIpatIon. Each day the student mIsses cLass, it takes 2 days to reLearn the lesson. Every cLass is a progressIon for the student as weLL as the cLass. Emergency Procedures: If you are injured, notIfy the instructor immediateLy. In the event that your injury wILL impact your regular partIcIpatIon it is the student’s responsIbiLIty to aLert the instructor. Even if you cannot participate in movement class while recovering from your injury, you are still expected to attend class, observe and take notes. You will receive partial credit. You will be expected to hand in your notes at the end of class. Should you have an injury that requires you to miss more than three (3) movement classes, you will be strongly advised to drop the course. Discipline/Course Specific Policies: ALL street shoes should be removed before entering the studio. This cLass requires the student to be wear dance attIre and baLLet sLIppers; no pointe shoes. Socks may be worn (during cold months) at the beginning of cLass during warm-up but wILL be required to be removed after warm- up or the first 15 mInutes of cLass. Do not put VaseLIne or lotIon on your feet prior to entering the studio. It makes the floor sLIppery (which can cause accIdents to happen) and attracts more dirt than normaL. Avoid spraying heavy perfumes/colognes prior to entering cLass. The lack of ventILatIon in the cLassroom wILL not diLute the scent and may cause other students to suffer from nausea and headaches. No talking in class. No gum, food or drink (except water in a covered container) is allowed in the studio. ALL food and drinks (except for water) must be consumed or left outsIde before entering the studio. ALL street shoes should be removed before entering the studio. Attire: Jazz shoes are required. Close fittIng dance wear is recommended for student comfort aLso aLLowIng the instructor proper view of the student for effectIve cLass instructIon and correctIon. Street cLothes are not acceptable. DressIng inappropriateLy wILL prohibit partIcIpatIon in cLass. HaIr should be secured off the face and neck. Hats are inappropriate and excessIve jeweLry is not desIred. V.

    Page 1 of 57 Dear Teachers, Dancers, Family and Friends, Welcome to the 2019 Season at Tribute National Talent. As we celebrate our 8th season, we feel very blessed to host an event that gives us the opportunity to do what we love while spending time with so many wonderful people. We hope you feel very welcome and a part of our family as you enjoy seeing all the outstanding dancers who will grace the stage this weekend. As we grow older, we begin to see things in a different light and our thoughts and feelings seem to be more important and significant. Over the last several years I have written welcome letters that talk about what Tribute is all about. Now going into our 8th season, I just wanted to simply say THANK YOU. As parents, we cherish every moment we can spend with our kids as they grow. Dance teachers also feel this way since they are like family as they see the dancers grow up in the studio and then graduate. In 2010 after my father passed, I knew I had to make some changes in my life so I could be a better husband and father. My son was 7 years old and my daughter was 2 years old at the time. I remember that before I started Tribute, I missed so much time with my own family when I was gone on the road so often and then all summer doing nationals. As I share this picture with you of me and my children from 2014, I am reminded of how truly blessed I am.

    Page 1 of 49 Welcome to the 2020 season at Tribute National Talent Competition. This year we are celebrating our 9th season and we are so humbled and grateful that you are here. We know you have hundreds of choices when it comes to dance events to attend and we can’t thank you enough for supporting our family business. Along with a loving and caring staff, we are honored to be your host and to see so many outstanding dancers perform on the stage with us this weekend. With each new season, as a family, we look back on where we started and where we are today with great pride. In an industry where there are so many choices, we are always reminded of how fortunate we are to have a small family business because of YOU and we never take that for granted. Each time I sit down to write a welcome letter so many thoughts go through my mind as I thank God for our blessings. In my personal thoughts, I was reminded that as families we all go through some ups and downs. Life isn’t always easy, and we might have hardships and challenges. We just hope and pray for the best and through it all we can become even stronger and find a more defined purpose in our lives and what we want to see for the future. At times we may decide to make some changes to help us have a better understanding of what is most important in life. One thing that never changes is that family is one of the most important and valuable gifts that we were ever given.
