Bellarmine Preparatory School



Dance Code


Our goal is to insure a safe and healthy environment that honors the values of our school. Parents and students should be aware of the consequences for failing to adhere to our dance policy.

"Dancing and body contact shall be appropriate and should not contain sexual gestures or movements."

Sexually oriented dancing is inappropriate and is not allowed at our school dances. Parents should discuss with their students Bellarmine's expectations and the consequences outlined below.

Students are in violation of the dance code when they are:

  • Not facing one another
  • Sandwiching one another
  • Inappropriately touching one another
  • Sexual gesturing

Students caught violating our dance code will be:

  • Given a warning that they are inappropriate
  • Upon a second violation they will be assigned to JUG and not allowed to dance for remainder of the dance
  • Students violating the dance code will be allowed to attend the next Bellarmine dance only if one of the student's parents chaperones

Guests

  • All guests of Bellarmine students must be registered on a guest list prior to the dance. To be placed on a guest list, guests must be approved by the Dean of Students.
  • Guests must be under 20 years of age.
  • Students who have been expelled, or who are currently on suspension from Bellarmine, will not be allowed to attend dances.
  • Bellarmine administration will contact other school administrators seeking guest approval.
