Rules Agreement:

Counselor Rules Agreement: All counselors are expected to abide by the policies of the USA IBC Dance School in addition to all rules set forth by Belhaven University. Please read the rules below and select "I agree" or "I disagree" from the drop-down menu.

I have read, understand, and agree to the responsibilities outlined in the Counselor Official Description document.
I realize there will be people from many backgrounds attending this school and I will show respect for all.
I will defer to the Dance School administrator promptly and professionally with all questions, concerns, and student needs during the two-week session.
I understand that the faculty and staff are in a place of authority for my benefit and protection, and I will honor their leadership while attending this school.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking are strictly prohibited.
Inappropriate or offensive use of technology (computers, phones, cameras, social media, etc.) is prohibited. Bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Additionally, phones must be turned off and put away during all classes and evening performances.
Profanity (obscene, disrespectful, or discriminatory language) and vandalism of any kind will not be tolerated.
I will take attendance of my group and ensure all students board buses and arrive to and depart from the theater safely. I will sit with my student group on the bus to all activities and during performances.
I will enforce appropriate theater etiquette with my student group during evening performances.
Quiet hours and a curfew will be in effect each night to ensure students can rest after long days and late performances. I will check rooms nightly to ensure all students from my group are safe and in bed.
Student prescription medications will be given to me at the start of the Dance School for appropriate administering to each student (applicable to all students under 18 years of age). I will faithfully administer medications as necessary and protect the property of each student.
I will support and encourage students in my group, enforcing rules as necessary, and contacting the Dance School administrator if any conflicts arise.

Additional policies and detailed responsibilities are outlined in a Counselor Handbook I will receive upon acceptance. I understand the rules above and agree to abide by and enforce each with my student group as necessary. If my contact information (mailing address, phone number, or email) changes in any way before June 10, 2023 I will notify the USA IBC Dance School administrator via email at efordice@usaibc.com
