Attendance

For members not auditioning to perform in the show, attendance at all meetings is optional. For members auditioning for the show and performing in the show, all DAS functions are absolutely required with the exception of general meeting and first showing. Exceptions will be made for circumstances equivalent to a University Excused Absence or job/interview* commitment that directly conflicts with scheduled activities. Members must contact the president and choreographer prior to missing the activity.

Choreographers have the option to either remove members who fail to notify the choreographer and president prior to the mandatory meeting or drop their piece from the show.

Removal Procedures for Members

Membership and participation in Dance Arts Society is a privilege. Defamation or disrespect of the organization or its members at a DAS function (including classes, rehearsals, showings and performances) can lead to revoked membership of Dance Arts Society. Any member that has not payed dues by 2nd showing, has 1 unexcused absence to a mandatory meeting, or is poorly representing or defaming DAS or any of its members enough to cause negative consequences to the society's reputation and that of its members may be removed from membership from the organization.

Members are to be informed in advance of these expectations. Should a member fail to pay dues by 2nd showing or is found poorly representing Dance Arts, they shall be given an opportunity to account for their behavior to the officers and advisors in the form of a letter. They will review the situation of the member in question and a decision will be made expeditiously and the member will be contacted as to the outcome of the situation.
