RULES & REGULATIONS

Students who are part of the Hamilton Park Liturgical Dance Ministry will 
learn liturgical dance routines to participate in scheduled worship 
services and musical concerts when asked by the minister of music.  
Students 3 years of age through adults can participate in the dance ministry.

Food, drinks or chewing gum are not allowed during rehearsals.  

Be at all classes PROMPTLY at the scheduled times. 

Hair must be neatly secured to the head and pulled back in a bun or 
ponytail. Note: We are not responsible for any jewelry when removed 
during class. 

PARENT OBSERVATIONS: Parents are invited to see their child's progress the
last 15 minutes of each class. 

All students are required to take the Saturday technique classes with 
their respective age.  Saturday technique classes will teach performance 
skills, coordination, and specific dance movements that will be used in 
each choreographed routine. 

We do not make-up classes missed by students. Note: Perfect attendance 
and encouragement stimulates students' interest and teaches commitment. 

If a student has more than two absences on Saturday rehearsals while we are
preparing for a particular performance, he/she will not be available when 
the choreographer is setting dance formations. As a result, the absent 
student will hace to wait for the next monthly dance ministry performance. 
Note: An absent student only hinders    the WHOLE dance ministry for being 
prepared for a particular worship service or musical concert performance. 
If for any reason a student is absent, Etra must be notified prior to each 
Saturday rehearsal. 

Dress in the costume chosen for the Liturgical Dance Ministry: correct 
tigts, correct footwear, and hair secure in the correct style chosen. 
Note: Because we represent both God and Hamilton Park United Methodist 
Church, these three requirements will demonstrate unity, team work, 
discipline, and respect when in the presence of people and God. 

When performing for the morning worship services, all students are 
required to participate in BOTH 8:00 A.M. & 11:00 A.M. worship services.
Students are free to leave after their 11:00 A.M. worship service 
performance.

Being part of the Hamilton Park Liturgical Dance Ministry 
is a commitment to God and is very serious in offering your best before 
the Lord. Therefore, not adhering to the rules & regulations will only 
hinder the full ministry from fulfilling their responsibility and 
commitment. Before joining, both parents and students must understand the
commitment it requires to God, other students involved, and the instructor
while making the decision. As exhortation to praise GOD for love to Zion;
