Would your dance committee benefit from this book?

A teacher is organizing a dance committee quickly and easily with the help of a new book.
  The book is called, "Organizing School Dances Stress Free".

Most elementary school dances have problems with students who are running during the dance. Sometimes it seems no one even attempts to stop the running. Some parents do not stop their own child from running. Organizing School Dances Stress Free will show you the proper way to educate both students and parents on what is acceptable behavior at your school dances. It will improve everyone's good time and keep your dances safe for all who attend.

Inappropriate dancing can be a major problem at middle school and high school dances. This textbook will teach you how to stop moshing, grinding, and all inappropriate dancing.

Music is another hot topic with many parents. Defining what is inappropriate music can become a real tough job. This book will teach your dance committee how to build a music policy that will help keep inappropriate music out of your school dances.

Since most states require no licensing for disk jockeys, it's possible that one of your students or staff could hire a D.J. without your knowledge that has many problems. Problems range from having no insurance all the way to being a convicted felon. Be a good leader and offer this book to your dance committee. The book includes works sheets called "Interviewing a D.J. for possible hire." These worksheets will help walk your dance committee through the difficult process of hiring the right D.J. for your school dance.

Inviting guests to your dances could be tricky business. Even the most well-intentioned students can invite the wrong people to your school dance. Learn what other schools have done to handle this situation.

Every year many schools run dances that lose money. Sometimes the tax payers or the parishioners from your church have to pick up the tab. It doesn't have to be like this. Organizing School Dances Stress Free will teach your dance committee how to form a budget. Instead of losing money your dances can be turned into fund raisers for your school.

Both experienced or inexperienced staff members will benefit from the many good ideas found in this book.

This book makes no claim to originality but rather offers practical solutions to problems that all schools face when running a dance. These solutions are simply based on what other schools have done in the past to solve their problems. So you're learning through the experiences of other schools. We have packaged this information in a fun and exciting way, so everyone will enjoy working with this textbook.

An adult meets with students from the dance committee to discuss the school rules and regulations. The adult is usually a principal, vice principal or superintendent. The student is using a worksheet found in the back of the book to interview the adult. The worksheet has the proper questions to ask, this makes the information gathering process go quickly and easily. As an example one of the questions might be, "How late can our school dances run?" Another question might be, "Can we sell tickets at the door the night of the dance?" Are we allowed to invite guests to our dance? There are many more valuable questions list on the worksheet. After the meeting with the adult the student reports to the dance committee and shows answers to the question on the worksheet. The dance committee then plans a dance that compiles with the rules of the school. Remember when organizing an elementary school dance the dance committee members might all be adults, but the information gathering process is still the same.
