How should we behave in dance class? • Come to class on time. You have 7 minutes to dress out. • If you do not dress out, then you will lose 50 points for the day. • NO gum and NO cell phones (unless I say you can have them out) • Enter class quietly, grab journals, sit in role call lines and make journal entry • Do not talk while I am talking • ALWAYS try. I want you to make mistakes so I can correct them. • Encourage and help each other. • Come back to class after changing back into school clothes (or you will be marked absent)
