Company Spirit and Sportsmanship Expectations:

At JCDC we are a team. We provide a home for those who love the competitive dance world and want to experience all that it has to offer in a safe and nurturing environment. You spend more time with your dance family than you do your real family at times, therefore JCDC will not tolerate bullying, disrespect towards teammates and staff, or laziness. Dancers must be fully committed to their team and teammates. 

Johnson County Dance Company Members must:

• Display respect for their studio, their teachers, their teammates, and themselves at all times.
• Make dance a priority and realize that it is their responsibility to know their choreography and make up for any missed classes. 
• Realize that this is a team sport, and that they are an important part of the overall goal for the team- if they are not in class and/or fall behind they are not just hurting themselves, but the whole team. Team routines come first.
• Have supporting and understanding families, who realize that dance is a commitment and something they love and who support them inside and outside of dance related activities.

Johnson County Dance Company Parents:

• Company Parents are expected to be supportive, respectful, and encouraging at all times. 
• JCDC will not tolerate parent gossip, disrespect, or misconduct- any of these behaviors will be grounds for dismissal of your child from the Company. 
• JCDC Parents are encouraged to sit together at competition, get together outside of dance, and to form the friendships and family that create a fun and loving dance environment for their dancers.
• Company Parents are not to discuss studio business with anyone outside of JCDC including but not limited to- choreography, class placement, costuming, competitions, and JCDC staff.
