DANCER EXIT STRATEGY
Prepare to Exit the BJC Upon the Conclusion of THON Weekend!
The Dancer Exit Strategy is in place to ensure the safety of every single Dancer leaving the Bryce Jordan Center
upon the conclusion of THON Weekend. It will successfully pair each Dancer with their corresponding, registered
“Ride Home”, as specified by each Dancer on their Dancer Questionnaire filled out during Online Pre-Registration
on think.psu.edu. Each Pair will be required to sign the dancer out, thus giving full responsibility to the Dancer’s
Ride Home. This 10-step process is designed to educate and prepare Dancers so that they can safely and efficiently
exit the Bryce Jordan Center.
The Process
1. At the end of the total reveal, Dancers will go to their respective Dancer Storage areas to gather their
belongings. If needed, Morale Committee members will be available to help Dancers transport their bags.
2. Dancers and, if applicable, their escorts will then move across the Event Floor towards the back corner of the
floor (underneath Sections 112-113) where the Dancer Stairs are located.
3. Dancers will use these stairs to exit the Bryce Jordan Center.
Note: These are the same stairs that Dancers will use to enter the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday, at the beginning
of THON Weekend.
4. Once Dancers arrive to the bottom of the stairs, they will be sent up the stairs in small waves of 20-25. This is
to decrease the amount of congestion at the top of the stairs and to limit the amount of time spent waiting outside
and on the stairs themselves.
· If needed, Morale Committee Members will be available to escort the Dancers to the top of the stairs.
5. Once reaching the top of the stairs, Dancers will then funnel through the line to the Sign Out Tables. A ranges
of dancer numbers will organize each Sign Out Table. Each Dancer will proceed to their respective table in which
their dancer number falls.
6. At the Sign Out Tables, Dancers will give their name and dancer number, and then will match up with another
Morale Committee Member escort to meet their Ride Home.
7. As a pair, they will walk down the rope-lined sidewalk and up the ramp towards their families waiting above.
8. As the Dancer/Morale Committee Member pair walk, the Dancer’s Ride Home will be permitted to cross the
line to meet their Dancer.
9. Once the Dancer has met their Ride Home, they will complete the sign out form, thus completing the sign out
process.
10. Once this form is complete, Dancers are released to their Ride Home to take them home!
