Students interested in sponsoring a dance or other event should first meet with the appropriate Division Head to propose their event. If the Division Head finds the event feasible, students must then complete and submit a Dance/Event Information Slip to the appropriate Division Head at least two weeks before a proposed event. The information slip requires students to confirm specific times and locations, information about the event itself, set-up and clean-up times and personnel, sponsoring faculty/staff members, and chaperones.

If students have any questions or problems as they set up events or dances, they should consult the appropriate Division Head.

The following rules for dances and evening social events on campus must be understood and adhered to by all students:

1. Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately and respectfully;
2. School rules with regard to drugs and alcohol are in effect;
3. “Grinding” is not permitted;
4. If students leave the building, they leave campus – there is no readmittance;
5. Dress is informal unless otherwise stipulated;
6. Guests are welcome if accompanied by an NYA student and should be introduced to the chaperones upon arrival;
7. Students are responsible for the conduct of their guests.
