FDF CODE OF CONDUCT POLICY STATEMENT AND DRESS CODE

Policy Statement

I, a participant at the Greek Orthodox Folk Dance & Choral Festival (“FDF”), acknowledge and agree to abide by this FDF Code of Conduct Policy Statement and Dress Code, and further agree to accept the consequences for any actions that violate the rules of conduct as outlined below:

  • Use of illicit narcotics of any kind is against the law and is strictly prohibited at all times by any participant at the event.
  • Consumption of alcoholic beverages involving participants under the age of 21 at FDF, in hotel rooms or at any of its related functions, is strictly prohibited.
  • Smoking by participants under the age of 18 at any function of FDF is strictly prohibited. Smoking by adults is permitted only in publicly designated smoking areas.
  • Participants under the age of 18 will be subject to a curfew from 2:00 AM until 6:00 AM. No participant, minor or adult, shall loiter in hotel/facility halls or common areas, and shall not create disruptive noise during these hours.
  • Visiting any hotel room for which you are not listed as a registered guest between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM will be strongly discouraged.
  • Disrespect of any kind shown to a fellow dancer, singer or any other individual is strictly prohibited.
  • Damage to personal or public property of any kind is strictly prohibited and is the sole responsibility and liability of the person or persons involved.
  • Any FDF attendee found in possession of a fake, forged, or improperly fastened wristband will immediately relinquish possession of said wristband to the FDF Management Team or FDF Board of Trustees and will be subject to disciplinary action.

These rules will be strictly enforced by Hotel, Convention Center and/or 3rd party security services. Violation of any of the above items may result in team probation, disqualification and possible eviction from any of the contracted facilities/venues for the Greek Orthodox Folk Dance & Choral Festival.

Dress Code

We ask that every participant and attendee use good judgment to determine what is appropriate dress for a Greek Orthodox Christian family event. FDF is a family-oriented youth ministry.  As such, we expect all participants and attendees to use good judgment when dressing for events throughout FDF weekend.

Attire that is not appropriate for FDF includes but is not limited to:

  1. Clothing with objectionable material, including offensive language, references, or graphics.
  2. Clothing which exposes excessive portions of the skin or body that may be viewed as inappropriate for a Christian family environment.
  3. Excessively torn or baggy clothing which could be considered revealing or inappropriate.

FDF reserves the right to require participants and attendees to change their attire if it is deemed to be inappropriate. Failure to comply with such requirements may result in removal from any event or the entire weekend. Participants may also risk probation or disqualification for their groups and/or communities

Signature for and/or receipt of your wristband to access FDF events confirms your agreement & acknowledgment.
