Any student that is in the eventās age/grade range. Middle school is 6-8th grade (roughly 11-14 yrs old) and High School is 9-12th grade (roughly 14-19 yrs old). We welcome incoming 6th graders and graduating 2025 seniors.
Yes. From last year we learned that we have to be even more specific so here we go.
If you still have questions about whether or not an outfit will be acceptable, email notsonormalformal@gmail.com by Sunday, May 18th for consideration.
THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS OR ALLOWANCES ON THE DRESS CODE. It is clearly stated above and if you have questions about your selection, you have plenty of time to ask in advance. Save yourself the time and just come in what you know fits the description.
Yes. We donāt discourage couples but we donāt encourage them either. We recommend that you come with a group of friends and dance the night away without having to worry about that someone else.
We audit all the music and try to catch any overtly sexual themes, coarse language, etc. We play all kinds of styles but stay with danceable tracks. We do take requests but not of your āfavorite songsā are danceable or may not appeal to the masses. We try to keep the evening upbeat and moving, with clean content so everyone can enjoy. We do have dance instructors that will lead the occasional line dance, swing track, or some other teachable dance style.
Yes, of course. Your safety is so important to us. We are NOT, however, a babysitting service for the evening. See disclaimer below.
Sorry, we cannot allow people to come and go. If you say youāre leaving, we expect that you are leaving.
Unfortunately, because we are making purchases to make the night awesome based on the number of attendees, we cannot allow refunds. We can transfer to someone else or we may be able to help you sell your ticket if you need assistance. Email us at at the following address and we will do what we can.
DISCLAIMER: At nOtsOnOrmAl Events we have an expectation that respect will beget respect. We never EXPECT to have any issues with attendees. However, we reserve the right to dismiss any individual or party that is disruptive in a way that cannot be controlled to the benefit of the larger group. Parents or guardians will be called if we cannot control any attendee(s). Refunds will not be issued for disorderly behavior. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The nOtsOnOrmAl fOrmAl started 15 years ago with just 32 in a small rented cabin.Ā Each year, weāve grown in number and last year we nearly approached 850 total people in the venue.
The brief story is that our oldest girl went to her public middle school dance. She was so disappointed with how the kids acted (pushing each other into a tight circle, basically groping the girls and fooling around) and the music with itās cursing and overly sexualized lyricsā¦.in middle school.
She told us sheād like to get people together to dance so we said āsure ā you get some friends and weāll figure something outā. She came back and said she had 32 friends and we were stunned. Uh, okā¦guess we really have to figure something out ā LOL.
We rented a small cabin that didnāt have air and the parents brought some snacks.
We thought āthis is a one and done good timeā and all the kids were asking āso when are we going to do this againā?!
We had no idea that almost 15 years later, we would still be doing this as annual event with almost 850 students coming out to last year!
Every year it continues to grow.
