Performance Policies

1. Rehearsals start Monday, September 23 and will meet at the discretion of the choreographer.

2. The first and second rehearsals are mandatory. The first rehearsal is to try the dance and the second rehearsal is to commit. You must attend at least four rehearsals, but are only guaranteed a spot in two.

3. Dues are a flat rate of $35. If you do not pay your dues, you will not be able to participate in the show.

4. Come 15 minutes early to rehearsals to stretch so that rehearsals may start on time.

5. There is a possibility that you will be cut from a dance if there are too many people interested in the dance. The policy for cutting is based on factors such as the number of dances you are in, seniority, number of years in the club, etc.

6. Some costumes are paid for by the club. However, there is a possibility that you may have to pay for some of your costumes.

7. You will not receive any costumes until you have paid your choreographer for them. If you decide to pull out of a dance, you will still need to pay for your costume if it has already been ordered.

8. If there are any problems, please discuss them with the choreographer.

9. If you miss a rehearsal, it is your responsibility to email your choreographer 24 hours beforehand and to learn the steps from someone else in the dance prior to the next rehearsal. Choreographers do not have time to re-teach steps every week.

10. Dancers are allowed to miss two rehearsals, provided they contact their choreographer beforehand. If a dancer misses three rehearsals, DOBC has the right to cut her/him from the dance.

11. No boyfriends, girlfriends, or friends are allowed at ANY rehearsals: this includes weekly rehearsals, extra rehearsals, dress rehearsal or rehearsal the day of the show.

You must be present for ALL extra rehearsals the week of the show, including the rehearsal time THE DAY OF THE SHOW. Maggie will write a note to any professors requiring one.
