AJDS Code of Conduct
The Arizona Jazz Dance Showcase (AJDS), now in its third decade, encourages all participants to act with dignity and respect during this three day event hosted by the UA School of Dance. In upholding the ideals of dance as an art form, our resident and guest faculty and staff expect all who attend to exhibit behavior appropriate to the studio or stage: focused attention, proper attire, and a work ethic fitting to the educational purpose of the workshop.
We expect attendees to demonstrate professionalism in all aspects of their participation in AJDS including but not limited to classes, performances, and social media activity. We desire a wholesome atmosphere as we provide a professional environment in which to learn, create and enjoy.
Breaking this code of conduct will result in suspension of activities or expulsion from the event.
