Sea/Tac Area Pro Dancers
Mission Statement 4-15-23:
Our mission is to uplift and support the professional dancers of the region through cooperation, communication, and education to further the dance art while honoring the communities and cultures from which the dances come from.
Core Values and Code of Ethics
EDUCATION
Instructors will accept responsibility for teaching their dancers moving into the professional industry regarding professionalism, such as standard pricing and conduct.
INTEGRITY
Dancers will not bargain for less than the industry standard (undercutting) for a performance. Exposure or solely tips is not considered proper currency for professional performances.
Dancers will go through proper channels to be included in the rotation for restaurant/club opportunities.
Schedulers/Producers will conduct themselves with integrity and strive to provide equitable and non biased opportunities while working with venues
If a dancer is unsure of who to ask at the venue, they will reach out to the group to verify the proper channel.
SUPPORT
Dancers are committed to assist each other and to support the growth and sustainability for current and future dancers.
Guidelines for behavior for participation in the Facebook group:
Do not delete posts. If needed, please edit your post and write a disclaimer at the top of the post that an update has been made.
Example
Original Post : The sky is green and I’m delusional.
Edited Post : Edit for clarity: I think the sky is green in my personal opinion.
To help maintain prices and standards when negotiating with a new venue make a post in the group so everyone is aware
It is easy to be misunderstood through writing, please do not assume ignorance or malice. Allow for clarification and model respect for all.
Keep all personal matters separate from this group. If you have a concern with another dancer, please reach out to them over email or messenger instead of posting in the group.
This is a confidential group to share safely. Dancers will not share screenshots or information discussed within the group with any party outside of the group
We want to give each member a chance to correct any mistakes made in the group; however, if necessary, members will be removed from the group after they have received three strikes from the moderators. A member may be able to be added to the group at a later date if an honest attempt at exhibiting proper conduct has been made at the moderator's discretion once discussing with the group and determining consensus.
Verbal abuse or threatening language will result in immediate removal from the group.
These guidelines are subject to change after a meeting and consensus
