Details & Agreements

____ My commitment to regularly attending weekly classes and rehearsals allows me to fully participate, work on techniques separately from choreo, and practice the choreo with my fellow dancers.  

____ I cannot miss more than 2 out of the 8 Rehearsals (per dance)

____ I cannot miss more than 2 out of the 8 Weekly Classes that are required (per dance). 

____ Absences must be pre-approved (except in the case of illness or injury). 

____ If more than 2 rehearsals and/or weekly classes are missed for any one dance it is up to the choreographer’s discretion how the situation will be handled. If I miss more than 2 rehearsals or classes, I understand that I might be required to take a private lesson(s) at my own cost, put in extra work outside of rehearsals or be removed from the dance.

____ I understand that I must PAY and REGISTER/SIGNUP FOR all 8 Rehearsals in the series regardless of absences. I agree to literally sign myself up for each and every Rehearsal in the 8-week series.

 ____ I agree to LEARN the choreography (well enough to perform it alone, aka without following other dancers) for the dances I am participating in, including putting in individual at home practice. 

 ____ I agree to bring positivity and respect into Bastet. Complaining isn’t positive or respectful. If I have a concern, I will bring it up to my choreographer/Instructor who will decide if it’s a personal or group conversation that needs to be had.  No negative comments about myself, the way I dance, choreography choices, costumes, other negative talk/self-talk, etc. Please be extra considerate when giving compliments and/or comments on another dancer, especially when involving their body. Commenting (positively or negatively) on weight gain/loss is not our vibe, please refrain.

 ____ I understand that my choreographer will have final say on ALL DECISIONS made regarding the performance, choreo and costuming. *If you find this sentence because you are reading thoroughly, tell Steph and she has a prize for you!* I agree to accept those decisions graciously and to communicate with my choreographer personally if I have any questions / concerns or are unhappy with anything. If my questions / concerns pertain to the whole group the choreographer will bring it up with the whole group. 

____ I understand that I MUST attend Dress Rehearsal and BOTH NIGHTS of the Showcase.

____ I will check group messages regularly to stay up-to-date and responsive to notes and updates. We use FB Messenger for most of our communications. If this does not work for me, I will connect with the choreographer to discuss other options.

Failure to follow our foundational guidelines and agreements could result in being removed from the performance. All Sales Are Final.

Availability for Rehearsal Scheduling

Instructions: 

• List the EXACT TIME RANGES that you are available Tuesdays – Sundays.
  • All Day Availability = 9am – 10pm.
• DO NOT write general phrases like “afternoons”. This is unclear and may result in a rehearsal being scheduled at a time when you are not actually available. 
• DO be precise and detailed to ensure that we have all the info that we need to create the best rehearsal schedule. 
• If scheduling conflicts arise, current Bastet students will receive priority.
• If you do not follow ALL of the instructions, we cannot guarantee your schedule will be considered.

Group Dances / Mentoring Series

• Max of 7 dances per season (Summer 2025), 5 per show (Dance/Pole). 
• List dances you are COMMITTING to, separately from dances interested in.
• If you have signed up for a dance, in the “committing to” column, on the sign-up sheet, please assume that the rehearsals will be scheduled within your availability windows and you can therefore commit to the dance. 
• If you sign up for more than two group dances, number in order of preference.
• If we encounter scheduling conflicts or over enrollment, we will contact you directly. If you did not follow all the directions, we might not go out of our way to hunt you down for more specific info.
