  Feet should be on the floor at all times.

  Hands must remain visible and may not be on knees or the floor.

  Students are not allowed to bend over while dancing; they must remain vertical.

  All articles of clothing worn into the dance must be worn out of the dance.
   

Students are aware of expectations for appropriate conduct and dress, and in addition to this form, students will be warned through announcements and immediately before the dance begins. Therefore, students will receive no warnings once the dance begins, they will be asked immediately to leave the dance. Students who dance inappropriately or break any of the school rules will be removed from the dance by one of the administrators or escorted out by the school resource officer, if necessary. Students asked to leave the dance will not be eligible to attend the next scheduled school dance.
