EISTEDDFOD ETIQUETTE

At Dance Sensations, we take competition etiquette seriously as it reflects our values and dedication to the art of dance. Our passionate teachers invest considerable effort to ensure our students are competition-ready, and we recognise the immense value of teamwork and sportsmanship. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every dancer can flourish. As such, we extend our appreciation not only to our fellow teammates but also to our competitors. We understand that dance competitions are opportunities for growth and self-improvement, and we value the talent, hard work, and dedication exhibited by all participants. With a spirit of respect, camaraderie, and admiration, we strive to embody the true essence of dance and inspire others through our performances. We appreciate your understanding and trust that you will embody and upheld our DS values of this that we are so often commended on at eisteddfods. #WEAREDS
