Rules and Regulations
            The STRIVE Rocks Dance Marathon 2007 is a 14-hour fundraising event.  For those on the dance floor, it is a no sitting, no sleeping, and no resting event.  Every participant has the opportunity to be awarded prizes throughout the event.   Whether dancing as an individual or team, here are the ways to participate in this event as a dancer:

Individual:
            Individual dancers sign up to dance the entire 14-hour event.  In order to be eligible for a prize, individual dancers must remain on the dance floor for the entire event.  Bathroom breaks allowed.

Couple:
            Dancers who choose to dance as a couple have the option of dancing the entire night together or splitting it between each other.  Just remember: one person from each couple must always be out on the floor! 

Team:
            Teams may be up to six people.  Any team member can dance at any time.  However, one member of the team must ALWAYS be out on the dance floor.  Grab your friends and put a team together.

We need dancers from all categories to make the night a success.  We need Individual dancers to show us what dancing 14 hours is all about. We need couples to support each other on the dance floor, and we need teams with refreshed members to inspire and energize those out on the dance floor all night long!

Some ground rules:
            The dance floor will be a restricted area, open only to dancers and those with floor passes.  On the dance floor, there will be no sitting, resting, and sleeping.  There will be one entrance on and off the dance floor.  As dancers enter and exit, the dance area staff will check off their numbers to make sure someone from the team or pair is always dancing.

The dance floor area also includes the snack bar, bathrooms, and activity spots.  Dancers are allowed in these areas at any time during the night and will be escorted by staff through them *this does not count as leaving the dance area*

All individuals, couples or teams may leave the dance area and rest at anytime. However, special prizes and awards WILL go to those individuals, teams, and couples who dance all night long!

No drugs, ciagarettes or alcohol are allowed at the Dance Marathon or any STRIVE events!We are chem-free!

Once you leave the USM Sullivan Gym, you will not be readmitted to the event.

Make travel arrangement ahead of time.
