IN ORDER TO HAVE FUN, WE HAVE TO BE SAFE.

Two men wearing yellow shirts with red lanyards and badges stand indoors, smiling at the camera. The shirts have a logo with a heart, a shoe, and the text "WMCD We Dance Because We Care." One badge reads "Harry Assistant Director" and the other "Tom Security."

SECURITY TEAM

  • We keep a minimum of 6 (six) security volunteers on deck at all times, in addition to volunteers in other areas of the venue (including activity management, food prep, registration, etc.)

  • Our security team monitors every entryway to the venue.

  • Students who wish to leave the event before the end of their registration slot may do so but requires permission from a parent or guardian via. phone call. Students who do not have this permission will not be permitted to exit the venue until the end of their shift, in order to maintain safety.

  • The only guests permitted to enter the venue are during the hours of our kickoff and closing ceremony at 7:00pm on Friday and Saturday respectively.
