Do not open any electronic device in a dance classroom unless directed to by the instructor of specific class assignment. The use of Electronic devices is always only with permission of the teacher of the class. Electronic devices such as cell phones, Ipods, Ipads, electronic tablets, laptops, etc. are not to be used or open or even be out in the studios during technique classes unless the teacher has so requested their use for an assignment.

Douglas Anderson School of the Arts Dance Department Requirements Contract

General Rules

1. All Students are expected to demonstrate good health habits and maintain a level of personal fitness necessary to meet all expectations of your coursework including attendance. Good sleeping and eating habits are important for any highly physically active person and are therefore expected of each dance major. The faculty will monitor dance majors adherences to good health practices. All students are expected and strongly encouraged to do a personal warm-up before class and warm-down after class. Keen awareness of one's personal body care and maintenance for the prevention of injuries is expected.

2. Injuries must be reported to the office with an accident report.

3. In order to prevent injury to themselves or others, students will not be allowed to wear loose or dangling jewelry, nose rings, navel rings, etc.

4. In the event of illness and injury that restricts dancing for one or more classes, a signed note from a parent or physician is required.

5. Any student not participating in technique class is required to quietly observe class and make written notes that may be checked by the instructor for that day. Dance teachers may also require an alternative assignment such as a report or critique of the class. It is your obligation to request an assignment from your ballet and modern teachers in technique class. For theory and elective courses, consult with your instructors. All reports and papers must be typed in acceptable book styles such as MLA or Campbell. Reports must include appropriate source citations, footnotes and bibliographies.

a. Requirements for three or more days of absence or non- participation: A three page term paper must be given to the grade-gathering teacher.

b. Requirements for five or more days of absence or non-participation: Two 6 page term papers must be given to the Ballet and Modern instructors.

c. All assignments must be submitted by date designated by the teacher. Students must request topics from the faculty.

6. Students must exhibit good behavior and show respect to the dance faculty and guest artists at all times.

7. Students must exhibit respect for the work environment. Lounging or socializing is prohibited in the dance office. Students are not permitted into the faculty office area unless you knock on the door and are invited in by a faculty member. Students may only use the dance phone for brief, emergency calls after receiving permission from a Dance Department faculty member. Use of the Dance Department's copiers and computers are prohibited to all students unless permission is granted by a dance faculty member. When using the copy machine, use is limited to three copies each.

All students involved in a performance must maintain at least a 2.0 grade average. Students are expected to maintain passing grades in all academic and arts area classes at all times. Students with low test scores must obtain a tutor.

Students are expected to be in attendance for arts area and academic classes on a daily basis. Participation is imperative. Students who cannot participate due to injury or

2012-2013 DOUGLAS ANDERSON SCHOOL OF THE ARTS DANCE DEPARTMENT

Page 11 of 35

absence are required to complete alternative assignments. It is the student's responsibility to communicate with teachers regarding alternative assignments. If a student has six or more absences in one 9 week period they must complete the required written assignments, and the highest grade that can be earned for the quarter is a B+.

Students' Fair Share assists with the production expenses of Dance Department programs like Historical Dance Concert, Children's Dance Concert, Student Choreography Concert, Awards and Senior Recital Banquet, etc. However, students in off campus performances, festivals and field trips may be asked to raise additional funds for these activities. Receipt of a dancer's Fair Share is required before participation in any off campus performance, festival or field trip.

Due to the expense of costumes, wardrobe maintenance, rental fees, technicians etc, every student is expected to participate in all fundraisers for the Dance Department. On certain occasions, students may be required to raise a specific amount of money in order to perform or to travel for special events. The Fair Share is a minimal goal for each participant; additional effort is needed from each student.

All dance majors are required to do 4 hours of volunteer work in the Dance Department each semester.

8. All Male Dance majors must take Wednesday afternoon Men's Dance class. Dance theatre men take guest artist rehearsals; resident faculty rehearsals and when these are not scheduled Men's class. Mr. Palmer will give grades to your grade gathering teachers to factor into your class credit grades! Please dress correctly and be on time!

Rehearsals

9. All students are required to be at all called rehearsals on time, practice good manners, and be responsible. Students should come to rehearsal with the proper attitude, prepared to dance, and with the proper attire. Failure to dress out for rehearsal will not be accepted. The same rules apply in rehearsal as do in class. (Please refer to Dance Department Dress Code and Policies.)

10. If a student must be absent from a rehearsal because of illness or a death in the immediate family, written excuse from a doctor, parent or guardian must be given to the instructor upon returning to school. Advance notice should be given.

11. After-school rehearsals begin promptly 5 minutes after the dismissal bell. Tardiness to these rehearsals may result in probation or expulsion from the performance. (For special circumstances, call time may be amended).

12. Students must be in class (academic and arts area) all day, on the day of a technical, dress and performance, unless otherwise arranged by the Dance Department.

13. Most after-school rehearsals will end 5 minutes before the activity bus departs, (unless previously scheduled otherwise) so students may dress in time to catch the activity bus. The beginning and ending time of all other rehearsals will be given in advance to the students by the instructor as well as being posted on the dance bulletin board. Transportation to and from rehearsals is both the student's and the parent's responsibility. It is important that the correct time and place of rehearsals is communicated to all parties.

14. Any extra rehearsals called on a weekend or evening will be scheduled in advance, as part

2012-2013 DOUGLAS ANDERSON SCHOOL OF THE ARTS DANCE DEPARTMENT

Page 12 of 35

of a special effort prior to a major performance, and only if absolutely necessary. Students may volunteer to audition for guest artist or special events, which would require evening or weekend rehearsals. If chosen for the piece, the student is responsible for attending all rehearsals.

15. Students that are performing must attend school all day including first period in order to be eligible to perform. Any exceptions must be approved in advance by Dr. Penney and the Dean. Students must attend all technical and dress rehearsals prior to a performance. Students who are absent from any rehearsal will not be allowed to perform and may be dismissed from the group if the instructor is not notified in advance of a problem or unavoidable conflict. In the event of an emergency, prior notification by telephone is expected. Once committed to a performance, a student must attend technical and dress rehearsals in addition to the performance or a failing grade may occur.

Choreography and Performances

16. Dancers for individual numbers are chosen by the guest artist on the basis of need and at the artist's discretion. Every effort will be made to allow each member to perform. However, sometimes dancers are chosen on the basis of style, numbers, stage presence, etc. Absences may automatically exclude a dancer from the performance.

17. Students who commit to a faculty or student work must follow through until the performance is completed. All dance majors are expected to be in the Children's Dance Concert and the Historical Dance Concert. Dancers who fail to make rehearsals or level of performance expected will be dismissed from the dance and/or concert. A waiver for exemption from a concert must be requested before rehearsals begin.

18. All Dance Majors might be required to perform a 2 minute solo. All students are expected to be at all performances in which they are involved, without exception.

19. All dancers are expected to attend all Dance Department productions (such as The Awards and Senior Recital Banquet, Student Choreography Concert, etc.). All dance majors are required to attend Choreography and Spring Dance Concert and write a critique. All junior dance majors must attend the Awards and Senior Recital Banquet.

20. Students are expected to project a professional image on and off stage. This means proper dress, make-up, attitude, posture, stage presence, and a willingness to follow directions. Students will take part in backstage strike or clean up when necessary.

21. Students are required to know all the material for the performance as well as possible in order to avoid nervous anxiety, which comes from a lack of preparation. This is expected from everyone, from the smallest part to the lead roles. If everyone does this, the performance outcome will be terrific. The purpose of performing is to highlight you, the dancer, in the best way possible. However, the quality of the performance (not the choreography) is the responsibility of the dancer (performer).

22. All major performances will have notification in advance of performance dates, which will be given to students. Your instructors will try to give you as much notice as possible. On occasion the instructor has been given last minute notice (check tentative performance dates list in your packet). Dancers must clear the week of performance for technical and dress rehearsals. Students should bring costumes, make-up and grooming products to all technical and dress rehearsals.

2012-2013 DOUGLAS ANDERSON SCHOOL OF THE ARTS DANCE DEPARTMENT

Page 13 of 35

23. Students are expected to be on time for all performances. Call time may vary due to the location and length of the performance. It is also expected that students arrange to stay for approximately 30 to 60 minutes to help breakdown and properly replace equipment and supplies. (This means everyone, unless a particular stage crew has been selected for that performance. Breakdown always goes faster when everyone helps-not just a few).

24. Students must turn in all costumes after the final performance. Failure to do so will result in a $10.00 late fee. If a costume is not returned within 3 days after the final performance the student will be charged the full amount of the costume's replacement value.

Critiques

25. All dance majors are expected to write at least one critique per quarter. The first three critiques will be used for extra credit in your technique block. Critiques should be typed and turned in by the designated date. Critiques are to comment and evaluate the craft of the choreography, lighting design, costuming, etc ... These are not to be critical of individuals or groups but based on discussion of the elements of dance composition and production value.

26. All dance majors will attend and critique the Choreography and Spring Dance Concert. The Spring Dance Concert Critique is an integral assignment, which is a major part of the 4th quarter grade. Secure this date for attendance now. All students must turn in a typed critique that fits the guidelines.

Special Note: All students are expected to follow all of the above requirements to the letter in addition to all of the Dance Department class rules, dress code etc. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from the performance and/or performing group and/or school. These rules may seem tough, but they are necessary to deliver outstanding performances. Each person affects the performance level. When everyone carries his or her own load, the result is a professional atmosphere and an incredible experience on stage.

4. Costumes will be coordinated from the wardrobe available from either the dancer's required dancewear for school or the DA costume closet. Any additional costuming that the choreographer wants will be acquired at or her own expense. Dancers do not contribute money for costuming beyond normal dancewear.

Only your music for dance should be on the CD, no other tracks. Use of music must be preapproved before rehearsals begin.

6. It is the choreographer's responsibility to confirm that every participant (including him/herself) has:

Street shoes are NOT to be worn in any of the dance studios. Only dance shoes are allowed in the studios and these should not be worn outside.

Students are responsible for reading the main dance bulletin board for announcements and other dance related information. This information is updated and changed daily so it should be checked at least once a day.

Factors that affect your dance grades include failure to dress properly for each class, participation, and excessive tardiness or absences. Students who excessively fail to participate daily will NOT receive an “A" and may fail the course.

The makeup policy for missing individual technique classes is to take one after school make up class or two red classes in technique to make up for the absences.

For theory and elective classes you must meet the individual make up assignments given by the teacher. It is up to the student to request make up work.

In the event of illness and injury that restricts dancing for one or more classes, a signed note from] a parent or physician is required. Students who are not participating for reasons of injury or illness are required to quietly observe class and make written notes that may be checked by the instructor for that day. Requirements for four or more consecutive days of absence or non-participation are as follows:

4 days: A six page paper to set by the teachers in the technique rotation

5 days or more or have a chronic injury: A six page paper for the Ballet Instructor and a second paper the same lenth for the Modern Dance Instructor.

All term papers are to be in an approved style with standard print and proper resources. Wikipedia is not an accepted source. Plagiarized material will not be accepted for credit.

All essays must be typed in acceptable book style such as, MLA or Campbell with bibliography footnotes etc. These must be submitted by date designated by the teacher. Students must request topics from the faculty.

Absences for technique class must be made up by taking the after school designated make up class or by 2 RED Day make up sessions. Make up for other movement or theory classes must be arranged with the individual instructor. Students must take advantage of this program for daily absences or non-participation. There is no need to have last minute assignments as students must use the class make up system.

Students who attend outside cultural events and school related cultural events will be given extra credit. See your dance teacher for additional information.

Students are expected to attend all Dance Department performances. If there is a conflict the student should notify the Dance Department with a note from the student's parent. Spring Dance Concert is MANDATORY for all dance majors.

ALL dance students are expected to keep a dance notebook for class notes and handouts.

Questions and problems within the Dance Department should be addressed to the teacher, and if necessary

SENIOR DANCE MAJORS

Welcome to your senior year at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. This year promises to be exciting

and busy for all of our senior dancers. This paper serves to make you aware well in advance of all your

senior year expectations in the Dance Department.

In order to receive your dance seal on your diploma, all senior dance majors must have completed a dance technique class every semester and also completed one choreography or composition course.

ALL senior arts area majors are required to fulfill a performance requirement. This will require you to keep

one day a week sometime during the year, open after school for rehearsals. The day for these rehearsals will

be determined at a later date.

Please note that all senior dance majors enrolled in the senior choreography class MUST submit a piece for

The Dance Awards Banquet and Senior Recital (see Dr. Penney for guidelines).

However, any senior dance major may volunteer to choreograph a dance or solo piece for the Dance Awards Banquet and Senior Recital. Plan early and get commitments from other dance majors who are reliable to be in your piece. Seniors will be extremely busy all year so organize and make preparations now.

All senior dance majors are encouraged to submit a two-minute warm-up and two-minute solo for Arts Recognition in the style of your choice. You can refer to the guidelines for more help in this area. Please visit the website for the National Foundation for Advancements in Arts. www.NFAA.com

The Dance Department would also like to announce that we are making arrangements for photo portfolios to

be made at a reasonable price to interested dancers. Details will be given out at a later date. .

Because there are so many senior commitments later in the year, please plan to pay your Fair Share obligation early including any departmental trips.

If you have not done so please sign up for and take the SAT as soon as possible. You should already be

getting organized in advance to gather information and prepare college applications. We would like all our

dancers to strive for excellence and seriousness of commitment to all senior requirements and the Dance

Department so that your actions will reflect your hard work, talent and years of training. Best wishes for a

great senior year and all of your final achievements here at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts.

Sincerely, Dr. Phyllis A. Penney
