  1. Dancer must raise a minimum $300 to be eligible to dance.
    1. An easy way to achieve this goal is to write letters to friends and family asking for donations. If you receive 15 donations for $20 or 30 donations for $10 you have already reached the qualifying amount!
    2. Another easy way to reach $300 is to participate in the many fundraising activities IUDM puts on.
    3. Come up with your own fundraising activities for you and your friends.
  2. The top 600 fundraisers to reach over $300 will be invited to dance in the 2003 IU Dance Marathon.
  3. The last day one is allowed to turn in money that counts toward their eligibility to dance is October 29th. You are still encouraged to turn money in, but for our organizing purposes, we need a fixed total at that time for registration.
  4. There will be recognition given to the top 3 fundraising dancers. The deadline to turn money in will be at noon the Saturday of the Marathon. Money must be turned in directly to Laura Lacci.
  5. The last chance for registration is 5 PM, October 29th.
  6. You must arrive prompt at your specified sign up time with no more than one standard carry-on size bag. If you bring more than one, or one that is oversized, we will not bring it onto the main floor. There will be a list of recommended supplies and clothes to bring to the marathon provided when you are invited to dance.
  7. You must wear your DM Shirt at all times.
  8. Once on the main floor, you are not allowed to leave unless it is to the following areas:
    1. Riley Tent
    2. Bathroom
    3. Smoking Area
    4. EMT Area (Only if needed)
    5. Bag Area
  9. Once a dancer leaves the main floor, he or she will not be allowed back on it. Furthermore, this year we will implement a $350 penalty for leaving. What this means: $350 will be subtracted from your dancer group total for each dancer that leaves during the Marathon. We want dancers who are going to participate, not leave during the Marathon.
  10. No cell phones will be allowed on the main floor. You will be allowed to use your cell phone briefly in the bag area, but that is it. Tell your friends that they are allowed to visit the HPER at any hour, and tell them to bring McDonald's with!
  11. Friends will be allowed to visit and bring food at any hour. However, they are not allowed to enter the main floor without a VIP Pass. Also, if they are overly intoxicated, they will be asked to leave the building. Note: Police will be present for security reasons and anyone who is wasted could receive a public intoxication citation.
  12. This year, we will implement a new VIP Pass system. Anyone wearing a VIP Pass will be allowed to enter the main floor during specified hours.
    1. Each Dancer Group, no matter how big or small, will be granted 3 guest passes
    2. For every additional 5 Dancers (over the original 10 Dancers), the group will be granted another VIP Pass. The maximum amount of passes per group will be ten.
    3. To obtain your group's VIP Pass, simply go to the information desk, give any valid form of identification, and take your VIP Pass onto the main floor. When you are done, return the pass and collect your ID.
    4. VIP Passes will not be made out for specific individuals. Your friends will be allowed to share passes but they can only use it one at a time.
