FCBD Style Community Code

COMMITMENT

Be there for your fellow dancers, Whether it’s making sure your cues are strong or getting to a gig on time, we all need to depend on one another.

AWARENESS

Ask questions and learn from more experienced dancers and teachers. Don’t let things fester. Express yourself in a constructive, respectful way.

COMMUNICATION

Be aware of how your words or actions can affect others. What makes sense to you may be understood differently by someone else. Take considerations to think before you speak or act.

TEFLON

Don’t take things personally. There are too many unique individuals in this group to avoid minor misunderstandings. Let things slide off your ego – don’t let them stick.

HUMILITY

We can all benefit from going to Level 1 and Level 2 classes and working on technique. We can also benefit from allowing room for all our personalities to exist.

TRUST

This dance form is founded on trust. Earn people’s trust and give yours as well.

RESPECT

Treat your fellow dancers with compassionate respect and be mindful of others’ talents and limitations. Respect the dance form for what it is rather than how you would change it.

SUPPORT

Come to the shows of your fellow dancers. Not only does it support the dancers, its a great way to learn about performance.

JOY

Dance for the love of it! Enjoy yourself and the company of others.
