LPD Performing Group: Expectations for Dancers
Being a part of LPD’s Performing Group is an exciting opportunity, but it also comes with important responsibilities. To ensure that everyone has a positive experience and that we perform at our best, we have a few expectations for all members of the group.
Dress Code
We ask dancers to wear all black to Performing Group Rehearsals to keep a uniform look.
Commitment to Rehearsals
Attendance: Rehearsals are critical for learning choreography and working together as a team. Dancers are expected to attend all scheduled rehearsals on Mondays from 4:00-6:00 PM and any additional rehearsals that may be added as we prepare for performances.
Punctuality: Please arrive on time, ready to dance. Warm-ups and instructions happen at the beginning of rehearsal and are essential for a successful session.
Focus and Effort
Active Participation: During rehearsals, we ask dancers to give their full attention to instructors and choreographers. Stay engaged, ask questions if you need clarification, and be ready to work hard.
Practice Outside of Rehearsals: We encourage all dancers to practice their routines outside of scheduled rehearsals. This will help you feel more confident and prepared during group practices and performances.
Teamwork and Attitude
Positive Attitude: The success of our performances depends on a supportive and collaborative environment. Dancers should bring a positive attitude to every rehearsal and work respectfully with their fellow dancers and instructors.
Support Your Teammates: Performing is a team effort. Be kind, encourage others, and help lift up the group with your energy and enthusiasm.
Performance Readiness
Commit to Performances: As part of the Performing Group, dancers are expected to participate in all scheduled performances throughout the year. Performance dates will be shared in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Be Prepared: Whether it's rehearsals or showtime, come prepared with the proper attire, shoes, and anything else needed for each session or event.
Communication
Stay Informed: Keep up with all communications about rehearsal schedules, performance dates, and additional commitments. If you have any conflicts or questions, please let us know as soon as possible.
