2 1. What is Optima? Optima Dance is a student organization that was created to give dancers at UW -Madison the opportunity to showcase their own choreography and perform in student choreographed works. It gives students of all dance backgrounds and all fields of stu dy the chance to experiment with and expose their talents in all genres of dance. Previous shows have included everything from ballet and jazz to African and musical theatre. We welcome all forms of dance and all levels! In 2009, Optima Dance became UW-Madison's largest dance student organization with over 100 members and continues to grow each semester! During the fall and spring semesters, Optima offers many opportunities for its members, including performance and volunteer opportunities as well as weekly yoga and technique classes and monthly master classes. Optima also spends each semester preparing for the fall and spring showcases. This includes rehearsals, feedback showings and finally the show itself. Each year the shows draw hundreds of audience members and create hundreds of memories for the cast, the choreographers and the audience alike. Description of Classes -Technique Class: Optima board members teach standard technique class with focus on skills such as jumps and turns and combinations. Location: Multipurpose Room (4th Floor) in the Student Activity Center (SAC) -Yoga/Conditioning Class: Optima board members teach either a yoga themed stretch class that usually includes ab work or a full body conditioning class. Location: Multipurpose Room (4th Floor) in the Student Activity Center (SAC) -Master Class: Other student orgs, Optima alumni, or current members teach different styles to members. Location: Multipurpose Room (4th Floor) of the Student Activity Center (SAC) Optima General Member Meetings What is discussed? -Meeting one: The first 30 minutes is for new members only, to introduce Optima and discuss requirements and events. All members come for the remainder of the meeting, in which choreographers play audition music and discuss the pieces that will be performed for the semester s show. -Meeting two: Discuss show details, socials, fundraisers and extra performances -Meeting three (if necessary): Discuss show details, socials, fundraisers and extra performances -Meeting four (only in fall semester): Play audition music and discuss the pieces that will be performed in the spring show.

Socials can be combined with other choreographers/pieces
4 Complete an additional ½ hour of service 4. Executive Board Positions Positions are selected in the beginning of the spring semester via applications discussed by the current Executive Board. Results from a poll to the entire organization are also taken into consideration. Any member who is a UW-Madison student can apply for a position for the following year; however, the President position must be fulfilled by a member who served on Exec Board for at least one year. The voting process may change from year to year based on the needs of the organization. The descriptions listed below are the requirements for The voting process includes the following: The current President collects all of the applications and removes personal information from each application, assigning each candidate a letter to identify them. The applications are then read by all Executive Board members that are not running for that position. Any that have applied will leave the room while that position is discussed. Executive Board members will rank each candidate for each position. They will give their top three applicants a score from 1-3 (a higher score if preferred, so a score of 3 would indicate their top choice). 3 points will also be given to the applicant that received first place in the general member vote, and 2 points for second and 1 for third. Scores will be added up, and the applicant with the highest score will receive the position. If there is a tie between applicants, the general member vote will act as the tiebreaker and determine the result. Applicants will be notified in an after decisions are made. New positions will also be announced in the next Optima weekly . If an Executive Board member would need to be added mid-year, an application process will occur following the same procedures as elections every year. To notify members about the additional position, information will be sent out in the weekly and posted on the website. Because filling the position quickly is crucial, the amount of time given to fill out the application may be much shorter. If an Executive Board member would need to be removed mid-year, the following must occur. The candidate for removal must be brought to the current President s attention and given 2 warnings about termination. The warnings given must include the unacceptable behavior such as failure to complete multiple position tasks on time. After 2 warnings, the President will bring the behavior to the Executive Board. The Executive Board will vote on whether termination of that person s position will occur. The vote will be completed via blind vote and must have at least 75% of the vote in favor of removal for it to be in effect. Every Executive Board member is required to vote. Failure to receive at least 75% of the vote will result in no position change. If vote does not result in removal and another warning is given that warning will result in automatic termination. Any bylaw that needs to be changed, added, or removed must be voted on by the current Optima Dance Executive Board via blind vote. 75% of the vote must be in favor of the
5 change in the bylaws for it to be changed. Failure to receive 75% of the vote will result in the bylaw remaining the same.
