Ensemble performers in levels 3, 4, and 5 and their families agree to the following expectations: 
 

  1. Attend and participate fully in the required number of weekly UIYB classes in the dancer’s level according to the current policy published on the UIYB website.
  2. Make up missed technique classes by attending another UIYB class or private lesson (the same or lower level). More than two missed weekly classes without make-ups are not allowed. Make-ups may be scheduled and completed in advance of absences.
  3. Attend and participate fully in all scheduled rehearsals (including proper dress with hair secured).
  4. Arrive at call time and perform at Space Place Theater and Iowa City Public Library.
  5. If emergency circumstances arise that cause an absence from a rehearsal or performance commitment, immediately contact DNC-CommunityDance@uiowa.edu so that the staff can determine a course of action. Similarly, promptly report all student illnesses or injuries.
  6. All rehearsals in the studios are closed to observers.
  7. No personal photographs or videos may be taken during rehearsals or performances except for the purpose of rehearsal practice. Rehearsal videos may not be published on any online public platform.
  8. Participation in any/all performances include granting permission for the dancer’s photograph to be used for University of Iowa publicity and marketing purposes.
  9. There are no refunds of participation fees after the second Saturday rehearsal, regardless of the reason for withdrawal.

Violation of this agreement may lead to the removal of a student from a portion or the entirety of the performance and will affect a student’s future performance opportunities.
