When watching a performance, I will applaud in a positive manner for my child and for all of the other children in the routine.

I will make a commitment to get my child timely to dance class, rehearsals and performances.

I will encourage my child to dance for enjoyment.

I will stress that having fun and feeling good about oneself is more important than winning.

I will show the same love and affection to my child if my child does not score as high in a competition as he/she would have liked.

I will speak privately to the instructor if any problem arises.

I will see that my child fulfills his/her commitment to the dance team for the full duration of the season.

I will encourage my child's involvement in dance.

I will recognize and praise good effort even when things are not going so well.

I will remember that WNPAC’s goal for my child are for him/her to have fun, to improve dance skills, to learn social skills, to be physically fit and to share these experiences with friends.

I will not interfere with my child's class.

I will not make derogatory comments to or about other dancers, teachers etc.

I will not place winning ahead of learning.

I will not compare my child's abilities with other children. All children have different abilities and maturation rates.

I WILL NOT FORGET THAT IT'S MY CHILD'S DANCE CLASS/COMPETITION AND NOT MINE!!
