Troupe Expectations
Being a part of the troupe is a fun and exciting endeavor.  But it will require work
and commitment on everyone's part.  Here's my list of expectations for troupe
members:

Be at class every week unless you have a doctor's note.  
I'm kidding!  We
understand if you're sick, have a death in the family, etc.  But seriously, please try
to be at class as much as possible.
When at class, please participate to your fullest.  If you practice sloppy, you will put
that into your muscle memory and I guarantee you that you will perform sloppy.  If
you are tired or hurt, I would rather you sit out than practice sloppy.
Practice at home at least 1 hour per week
Fill out the self critique form for at least one song after every performance and
keep these in your troupe notebooks.  
Act in a professional and responsible manner before, during, and after all
performances and anytime you're in costume.  Bars are an exception - my
expectation is that you get wild after we're done performing!
For most small performances, please leave family members and friends at home.
It is acceptable and even recommended to bring family members and friends to
bars and large public events.
You are to be covered up with a veil, caftan, ghawazee coat or other coverup
anytime you are not performing.
Many changes are made the last class before a performance.  Therefore, you
must attend the class before a performance or you will not be permitted to perform.
Join tribe.net and be involved in the West Virginia Belly Dance tribe.
Attend at least one belly dance workshop or class by another teacher each year.  I
do expect that you let me know about it once you schedule it.  Then we want to see
what you learned afterwards!
