🎃 Costumes Encouraged!
As we get ready for our upcoming Halloween dance, we’re excited to see all your creative and spooky costume ideas! Costumes are highly encouraged, and we can't wait to see what you come up with.
That said, we do have a few quick guidelines to help keep the event fun, safe, and comfortable for everyone:
👻 While we love creativity, please avoid wearing anything that completely covers your face or makes it difficult to recognize you — such as full-face masks, heavy prosthetics, or anything that fully conceals your identity.
🤝 Being able to recognize who you're dancing with helps everyone feel more comfortable and ensures clear, respectful interactions throughout the night.
😷 Everyday face masks (including PPE-style or health-related masks) are absolutely welcome! Face paint is also a great option if you're looking for ways to get festive while staying recognizable.
Thanks for helping us create a fun and welcoming environment for all. We can’t wait to see your costumes — and to dance the night away with you!
