Hello , 

How We Define “Participation”

At Fancy Feet we talk a lot about “participation,” especially with regard to our dancers. Participation, to us, means ALL the things a dancer can do to show their commitment to better themselves, improve their skills, and lift up those around them.

Participation is:

  • Showing up for every class and every rehearsal
  • Being prepared
  • Having a positive attitude
  • Giving 100% effort
  • Trying over and over again
  • Focusing on the big picture
  • Putting the team first
  • Doing what’s right

What’s NOT participation? The answer may surprise you: it’s talent. Talent isn’t required to participate and build a strong work ethic.

We’re big believers in these words. Having talent can be an awesome attribute of course, but it doesn’t define someone’s future. What does define someone’s future is work put together with opportunity. And anyone can develop the skills and habits needed to put in the work!

When it comes to our dancers, we expect each dancer to strive for their personal best, not perfection. Excellence is the goal. And that is where the understanding of work comes into play … in order to succeed as a team and reach our full potential, everyone must be on the same page about what it means to work, how to apply that knowledge to their behavior, and how to hold one other accountable.

Doing the work helps each of our dance team members reach their full potential in dance. Together as a group, it’s what makes them unstoppable! As teachers, we are committed to fostering the traits of participation in our students and offering encouragement in the moments where someone falters. Our mission to make participation part of the daily dance life so that our students will carry it seamlessly into other parts of their lives too.

As you already know, part of our Velocity philosophy is to make sure our dancers are developing the character qualities and life skills they’ll need as they approach adulthood. Participation is the foundation on which this philosophy was built, and we’re proud to be passing on that legacy to our students!

See for yourself!
