Dance Chaperone

I’m a dance chaperone…what do I do?

• At the door:
  • Make sure that students pay fee or give canned goods.
  • Keep students in the dance.
    • They may use the restrooms 1 at a time. We do not allow groups out of the dance.
    • We also allow them to get drinks at the fountain. 1 at a time, and not very often.
  • If a student leaves the building they are not allowed to return to the dance.
• On the floor:
  • No bumping and grinding or suggestive dancing
  • No kissing
  • No running
  • Hands must remain in appropriate places…not on the buttocks of their dance partners!
  • Watch for altercations. Sometimes the emotions go overboard and arguments erupt.
• In the hall:
  • Do not allow kids to go to lockers until the end of the dance.
  • Students may only use the bathrooms by the cafeteria.
• After the Dance:
  • Monitor students using the office phone.
  • Monitor students outside waiting for rides.
• General Behavior Notes:
  • If you have to speak to a student more than once please notify a staff member.
  • If a student is argumentative or rude please notify a staff member. The staff member will initiate a disciplinary referral or send the student home.
