Expectations
What Dancers' Symposium expects of all its members:
Dedication. Directors, choreographers and dancers are all expected to follow through
on their commitments to each other and to the organization. This includes all the specifics
of the relationships listed below, as well as promoting the show, selling tickets, and
performing during both nights.
What choreographers should expect from the directors: A regularly
reserved space to rehearse in with a floor that is easy to dance on. The ability to communicate
about problems or special needs for rehearsals and the show.
What dancers should expect from choreographers: A weekly
rehearsal at a set time and location. Dancers should be informed of any
change in this schedule prior to their rehearsal. Choreographers should
be prepared every week and keep teaching on a schedule such that dancers
know 2/3 of the piece by the checkpoint date. Choreographers should inform
dancers of any special policies and be patient with the abilities of their
dancers.
What choreographers should expect from dancers: Dancers are
expected to attend every regularly scheduled rehearsal and important date
unless they have given prior notice. Excused attendance policies are subject
to the discretion of the choreographer. Any missed rehearsal is the responsibility
of the dancer to make up. Dancers are expected to work hard in rehearsal
and be respectful of their choreographer.
