Monitors are parent volunteers who help the dancers during and after rehearsals and performances, on and off stage, and in the dressing rooms or lounge areas. Monitors need to stay with their classes for the entire monitor shift, we cannot leave classes unattended. Please do not bring anyone with you (such as younger siblings) when you monitor.

**PLEASE NOTE** To sign up for this volunteer slot, you must have completed your background check in the past 3 years and completed the youth protection training for 2025-2026 (now due each year). Please contact Jennifer at jennifer.killpack-knutsen@utah.edu if you haven't completed this step yet or have questions about these requirements. You may claim volunteer time to complete these requirements. Thank you for your help keeping our dancers safe!

*Your monitor shift is scheduled 15 minutes before dancers' call time. Please arrive on time so students can check in with you before they go into rehearsal and please do not leave until all students are accounted for.
