Dancers who enroll for classes at IDAC are expected to come dressed to dance in IDAC dress code, on time, and with a positive attitude. We strive to create a welcoming, peaceful, and loving environment of learning, and count on our dancers to contribute to that feeling. We expect all dancers to be respectful, kind, and courteous to their fellow dancers and instructors as well as all those in the building. Dancers and parents are expected to keep a courteous level of volume while interacting in the lobby and hallways of NCDC studios as this facility is shared with other groups.
Please go over the following items with your dancer.
Dancer requirements/commitments:
-Two of our core values are unity and peace. To that end, we expect all dancers to be respectful as they learn about cultures, traditions, and dances that are new or unfamiliar to them.
-To facilitate a positive environment where all dancers can grow and learn, each dancer must be respectful, kind, and courteous to other dancers, teachers, and parent leaders.
