Now to a not so pleasant message:
Why Missing Competitions Hurts the Team
Competitions are not optional extras, they are a core part of being on a competitive team. When a dancer misses a competition, it affects more than just that individual.
-
Formations & spacing are impacted. One missing dancer changes visuals, timing, and floor patterns for the entire team.
-
The team loses confidence. Dancers rely on each other. When someone is missing, it creates uncertainty and stress on competition day.
-
Extra pressure on teammates. Other dancers must adjust on the spot, often with no rehearsal time, which isn’t fair to them.
-
Judging and scoring can be affected. Judges notice missing dancers, uneven spacing, and last-minute changes.
-
Team commitment matters. Competitive teams depend on everyone showing up and being reliable. Missing competitions breaks that trust.
Being on a team means committing to the team, not just practices, but competition days too.
Why Arriving at Call Time Is Critical
Call time exists for a reason. Arriving late, even “just a little,” causes a ripple effect for the entire team.
-
Warm-ups are missed. This increases injury risk and affects performance quality.
-
Run-throughs can’t happen. Teams need full attendance to clean spacing, timing, and transitions.
-
Stress levels rise. Late arrivals create unnecessary anxiety for dancers, coaches, and parents.
-
Hair, makeup, and costumes are delayed. One late dancer can hold up the entire group.
-
Respect for the team and staff. Being on time shows respect for teammates, coaches, and the work everyone has put in.
Call time is not a suggestion, it’s the time the team must be fully ready and present.
BOTTOM LINE:
Competitive dance requires discipline, responsibility, and teamwork.
-
Missing competitions hurts the team’s performance and morale.
-
Missing call time disrupts preparation and adds unnecessary stress.
When everyone shows up, on time and prepared, the team can perform with confidence, unity, and pride.
MISSED COMPETITION POLICY:
If a dancer misses a scheduled competition, they will not be permitted to participate in the following competition. In addition, coaches will adjust and rework routine formations as needed. Upon the dancer’s return, placement within the routine is not guaranteed, and the dancer may not return to their original spot.

TEAM MOMS
We are fortunate to have dedicated team moms who help ensure that our dance team runs smoothly. Team moms serve as a vital link between parents, dancers, and coaches. Please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines regarding team moms:
Role of Team Moms:
-
Team moms are available to answer any questions you may have about the team, competitions, schedules, and other related matters.
-
They assist in organizing team activities, distributing information, and coordinating with the Coaches.
Communication:
-
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to the team moms first. They are equipped to handle most inquiries and will escalate any issues to the appropriate Coaches if necessary.
-
Team moms are here to support you and your dancer, so do not hesitate to reach out to them for assistance.
We appreciate your cooperation and promptness in following these procedures. Our team moms are committed to making this a positive and organized experience for everyone involved.
