In order for the dance team to be successful, attendance by all dance team members is crucial.  All practices, events, and games should be considered mandatory and of a high priority to each dancer. Depending on the specific dance, dancers will be allowed a different number of excused absences.

In the event of a conflict, please follow the following guidelines:
 - Excused absences include: illness, family emergency, school/studio/organization commitment, etc.
 - Unexcused absences include: forgetfulness, procrastinated homework, social event, work, etc.

I understand that I must make coach aware of an absence from practice a minimum of 24 hours in advance. I understand that I must make coach aware of an absence from a performance (game, pep assembly, etc) a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. I understand that failing to follow these guidelines may result in disciplinary action as outlined in the TBHS Dance Team Discipline Policy. I understand that this absence may also exceed the number of allowed excused absences and may result in my being removed from a specific routine.
