DANCE RULES

Student dances have become a very popular extracurricular activity at Hudson High School. The dances
are also an integral, yet enjoyable fund raising activity for the sponsoring school organizations, and they
also provide students with an excellent opportunity to meet socially.
In an effort to make these dances a positive experience for all students, the following guidelines will be
communicated:
1. Dancing while on someone’s shoulders is prohibited. Additionally, “moshing,” “break dancing,” and

similar styles of dancing which encourage pushing, throwing, etc. others are not permissible.
2. Sexually suggestive styles of dancing or “grinding” are also prohibited. The “rule of

verticality” should be the guide! Out of respect for both dance partners and people around
you, dancing back-to-front is prohibited. Chaperones will determine if the style of dancing is
appropriate; if it is not, the students will be given a warning. If the students continue such
style, they will be asked to leave the dance.
3. All school rules are in effect, whether the dance is on school property or not.
4. Once a student leaves the dance he/she is not allowed to return. No money will be refunded.
5. Students are expected to follow the directives from chaperones, security officers, and other school
personnel.
6. Students’ behavior should be such as not to endanger or trouble other students.
7. Attendees shall be in 9th-grade or higher.
8. Students should come with the expectation of being checked with a breathalyzer upon entrance to the
function.
Those who don’t adhere to these expectations or who violate the Code of Conduct will be removed from
the dance (without refund) and may be subject to further disciplinary action. All students should provide
school identification upon request. Guests from outside our high school must be approved in advance by
completing and submitting the appropriate Dance Affidavit form.

DANCE ATTIRE:
Minimal standards of dress for dances must comply with the school dress code. Fall and Winter
Homecoming attire for students and their guests is shirt and tie for young men and dress or dress slacks
for young ladies. Jeans and tennis shoes are prohibited, unless recommended by the school given the use
of the gym floor. Formal wear is worn to Prom. Any deviation from these standards must be approved
by the administration.
