Things to Remember

Be a Team Player!

Be on time - all the time!

Always arrive at rehersals with a positive attitude.

Be enthusiastic - nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Be motivated.

Remember the importance of a good warm up and cool down.

Make each rehersal an end in itself - an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all.

Challenge + Fun = Success!

Pay attention to the details - it makes all the diffrence!

Dance with pride! Your ensemble is a mirror of you!

Focus on your character - and project!

Have a great attitude - It's not what happens to us but how we work with it that makes a diffrence.

Work with respect - It's something you earn every time you give it!
