The teens are in charge of the playlist and expressive music connoting a queer ideology is welcomed. Parents and supporters are welcome to take pictures of the attendees as they arrive, but we do ask that this event is honored as a safe space for teens to let their freak flag fly, and no parents of teens in attendance will be at the dance. The dance is intended for teenagers who are able to be independent and make safe choices. That being said, the chappelroans are not babysitters. They will be providing general supervision and be available for assistance throughout the event, and in various locations in the building. Teens are expected to stay at the dance – but chappelroans will not restrict individuals who want to leave the event early. Please email Maggie VI Beedles, LGBTQ+ Rolla Youth Chair and Dance Organizer at maggiebeedles@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for registering so that we can ensure the dance is maintained as a safe space- please follow the link and register each dance participant individually- https://forms.gle/7XFvy2qzwLKxzY4B9. We are also accepting refreshment donations along a galactic theme- if you would be willing to prepare a dish for the dance, please let us know! We are so excited host a social event specifically for queer youth and their allies- the future is now and the liberated young are DANCING! Let us rejoice and support them!
