Teachers will instruct parents and dancers to bring queries and complaints to their attention and will then liaise with UDO on their behalf. The issues should be raised with UDO before public comments are made on platforms such as social media.
Conduct in relation to UDO as well as that of dancers and parents could lead to the teacher being brought before the UDO committee which may result in individual dancers, teams or the entire dance school being excluded from attending a future event or events.
