DANCE EXPECTATIONS

If a student wishes to bring a person who is not a current BHS student, he or she must sign up the guest IN ADVANCE of the dance, and provide an address, phone number and school affiliation of the guest on the appropriate form signed by the parent of the BHS student.  These forms are due by 3:00 pm on the Thursday prior to the dance.  These forms are available in the Main Office or from the Dance Sponsor.  All guests must show a valid ID in order to enter the dance.

All students and guests will be issued wristbands upon entering the dance.

Students are expected to dance appropriately.   While the administration recognizes that dancing does involve physical contact, the school is concerned about contact that represents inappropriate public display of affection or sexual acts.  Some examples of inappropriate dancing include: (a) crotch to crotch dancing, (b) horizontal positions, (c) grinding, (d) sandwich dancing, (e) front to back dancing with inappropriate physical contact.

If students are observed dancing inappropriately, those students will be asked to briefly leave the dance floor with a chaperone.  The adult will remind the students of proper behavior and will lead the students to an administrator, who will remove the wristbands as a warning.  In addition to the immediate removal from the dance, disciplinary penalties will ensue for students who are disrespectful or noncompliant when an adult asks them to leave the dance floor.  Refunds will only be issued at the discretion of the administration.

If students who have been given a warning are observed dancing inappropriately again, they will be required to leave the dance immediately.  The students’ parents will be contacted and NO REFUNDS will be issued.
