🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL ROYAL HEAT PARENTS 🚨
Parents, I want to take a moment to clarify a few things about Royal Heat Dance Company, our expectations, and the sport your children are participating in.
FIRST, TUITION GUARANTEES TRAINING, NOT PERFORMANCE!
When you pay monthly tuition, you are paying for your child’s dance education, development, instruction, and training. Paying tuition DOES NOT automatically guarantee your child a spot in a parade, competition, showcase, or any other performance.
PERFORMANCE IS EARNED, NOT PURCHASED!
Performance opportunities are determined by a dancer’s readiness, discipline, attitude, attendance, ability to retain choreography, and overall commitment to the team. Every dancer must demonstrate that they are prepared to represent Royal Heat appropriately.
SECOND, ALL NEW DANCERS ARE SUBJECT TO A MANDATORY 6-WEEK PROBATIONARY PERIOD!
Upon joining Royal Heat, every dancer enters a six-week training and evaluation period. During these six weeks, your child is here to LEARN, TRAIN, DEVELOP, and become familiar with our expectations. Participation in performances is not guaranteed during this period, regardless of upcoming events or tuition payments.
THIRD, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE ART OF MAJORETTE DANCE!
Majorette dance is not simply putting on a uniform, wearing boots, and performing choreography. It is a culturally significant and highly demanding form of dance that requires strength, flexibility, coordination, stamina, musicality, discipline, confidence, and dedication.
Majorette dance has deep roots in HBCU traditions and Black dance culture. It is an art form with its own history, technique, presentation, and performance style. It deserves to be understood and respected.
ROYAL HEAT DOES NOT PROMOTE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR INVOLVING CHILDREN, NOR WILL WE EVER!
Our dancers are CHILDREN first, and their safety, development, and well-being will always remain a priority. Our choreography, uniforms, and performance expectations are intended to reflect the majorette dance style while maintaining appropriate standards for our dancers.
Majorette boots, performance expressions, body movements, and choreography are all elements that can be part of this dance tradition. They should not automatically be viewed through a sexual lens.
I understand that every family has different values, boundaries, and expectations, and I respect that. However, I also expect the same respect to be extended to my dancers, my staff, and the art form we dedicate our time to teaching.
PARENTS, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELVES ON THE SPORT AND STYLE OF DANCE YOUR CHILD IS ENTERING.
Before enrolling your child in Royal Heat, I encourage you to understand what majorette dance involves, what our training consists of, and what our company represents. If you have questions or concerns, I welcome respectful conversations. However, disrespectful comments that demean our dancers, their abilities, or the art form will not be tolerated.
Royal Heat is not just about performances, uniforms, trophies, or traveling. WE ARE BUILDING DISCIPLINED, CONFIDENT, TALENTED, AND WELL-ROUNDED YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH DANCE.
We are a dance COMPANY, not a pay-to-perform organization. Our standards apply to EVERYONE, regardless of how long your child has been here or how much money has been paid.
We take pride in what we teach, the culture we represent, and the young dancers who work hard to perfect their craft.
RAISING ROYALTY THROUGH DANCE. 💜💛🩵
