Welcome 2012!!




***Please remember the following dance standards always apply***

EASTSIDE STAKE YOUTH DANCE STANDARDS

These standards are based upon those outlined in “For the Strength of Youth” as published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints.

We expect our youth to show respect for the Lord and themselves by dressing modestly and behaving appropriately at stake youth dances. Decisions regarding the appropriateness of an individual’s dress and his/her admittance to the dance will be the responsibility of the adult youth leader in charge of the dance.

Youth dances are for those 14-18 years of age only. Attendees must be clean, well groomed, and modestly dressed. Behavior in and around church building will be in accordance with church standards. We request that you show respect and care for the church building and grounds. We further request that you drive carefully, showing respect and consideration for the neighborhood surrounding the church building.

We do NOT allow alcohol, tobacco, or controlled substances, prior to or during the dance. We will require you to leave immediately if such is found to be the case. We will not allow any intimate dance positions, obscene or suggestive dance moves.

We will report violations of these standards to an individual’s bishop. We intend to hold violators responsible for their actions.

The way that you dress and act sends a message to others and often influences the way you and others act. Please dress in such a way as to promote the best in yourself as well as those around you.

Not Appropriate Dress

· Tight Fitting/revealing clothes

· Bare/exposed midriff

· Sleeveless/bare shoulders

· Low-cut neckline-front or back

· Tank/halter tops

· Dress/skirt lengths shorter than knee even with leggings

· Shorts/pants that do not cover the knee

· Denim jeans of any color

· Grubbies, sweats, or overalls

· Pants with holes, faded or frayed
