What do we do?

Question

My friend and I are capitans of our school's dance team. Mostly everyone on the team is alright, except this one girl. She never comes to practice and she skips all of the carnivals we perform at. We can't cut her from the team because our director won't allow it. What do we do to punish her?

We were thinking of making her run drills and across the floor stuff, but she's stubborn and won't take it as a punishment..

Answer 1

I am also an officer in my dance team. We had such a situation in our team last year. Well, I dont know about your fees or such. But our team does a lot of competitive dances out in competitions, well the charges and treansoprtation and stuff cost liek ALOT. Our directors dont offer any refunds. This one girl didnt show up to practices didnt tell us why and stuff. Our director just moved around the spots and made different formations without her and all that. But also, she gave her no refund. So tahts her loss. She will know next time to think before she takes part in something like this.

hope i helped.

Answer 2

Since you don't know the exact reason for this girl skipping class and carnivals then you may need to take several steps to... cure her. :)

Since you already tried talking to her you will probably have to take more drastic steps. Talk to your director and have him/her talk to either her personally or talk to her mom. If nothing changes after awhile then I would start making her do things when she does go to practice or to the carnivals. Having her do extra work, giving her sucky parts, or accidently tripping her on stage are always good plans. Try to get it into her head that if she doesn't change then bad things start to happen... Good luck! :D

Answer 3

talk to her about it

Answer 4

Try not allowing her perform in certain things and if she still doesnt care then I honestly wouldn't worry about it

Answer 5

you all should sit down and talk about it..the 2 captains, the director, her, and her parents, and explain that she is letting down her team by not coming to practice and the performances and that she made a commitment to be on the dance team.

Answer 6

maybe what you need to do is work harder with her because it sounds like she is not going to give up

Answer 7

kick her out, weather the director allows it or not!

Answer 8

tell her if she doesn`t want to be on the team then just quit. tell her mom too maybe? thats ridiculous. the director is gonna have to deal with her if he/she won`t allow her to be cut.

Answer 9

create a rule that says if you don't attend a certain percentage of practices before a performance, that you don't get to participate in that event.

Get the whole group together and ask the director to cut this person. Explain your case. If possible, show some facts like exactly how many practices she has missed and how many perfomances she has missed.

Answer 10

Tell her parents.  Talk to the director, Talk to her.
