Team spirit & behaviour expectations
- Encourage cheering for teammates and other schools
- Good sportsmanship
- Represent our studio respectfully
The dancers and I have had some great discussions on how to show good sportsmanship at competitions! I appreciate your help with encouraging them to be proud of how far they have grown this season and reminding them that the experience is more valuable than a medal.
They told me so many great things about what they are going to learn from their competition experience including:
- How to be a good sport
- How to be confident on stage and in front of a large group of people
- How to cheer for others
- How to be kind to everyone around us
- How to learn to do good hair and makeup!
- How someone else’s success does not take anything away from your achievements
- How to work as a team
- And so much more!
I am so proud of all our performance team dancers and can't wait to see them shine on stage!
