They oversee the student body day and night, coordinating and carrying out daily activities, which include nightly room checks, traveling to and from Moxie Ballet, and fun field trip excursions on the weekends.

Dancers staying at PSU will be brought to and from the studio daily by Charter Bus. Weekend Activities Weekend outings will be coordinated by the chaperones during the program.
