Health & Safety Guidelines

In these uncertain times, we are honored to be hosting an event where dancers have the opportunity to shine! Please be aware that the following protocols and restrictions are going to be strictly enforced for the safety and well-being of all studios as well as our team members. Your Director will be reaching out to you prior to your attendance to discuss any details in regards to your scheduled performance time.

GENERAL REMINDERS:
- Our competition’s number ONE priority and ability to host an event for your dancers is solely based on the health and safety of all attendees. Masks are required at all times by any person who enters the venue area. Any guest violating this requirement will be escorted off the premises. Please inform your families of the importance of complying with this rule!
- DANCERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK WHILE PERFORMING ON STAGE.
- Once your schedule has been set as final, it cannot be changed at the event.
- If any dancers, studio owners, teachers or chaperones are over temp (100.3F or higher) during check in, they will be given several opportunities to cool off. However, if continually tested over temp the venue will not permit admittance into the venue and will escort the individual off the premises.

The following will be required for every individual entering the venue area:
- Completed Visitor Screen Form - Please be sure that everyone entering the venue has a copy with them upon arrival to make the check in process quick for dancers to begin warming up.
- Temperature check

LIVE STREAM UPDATE:
- We are moving in the right direction with being able to open our competitions and have actual audience participation. For the remainder of the 2021 dance season we will no longer be live streaming our events. This decision has been made due to an increase with having an actual audience in the venue as well as a copyright issue we have encountered with our live streaming platform.

- Our awards ceremonies will now be available for playback via our YouTube channels. Please make sure you are subscribed and receiving notifications of video uploads. All award ceremonies will be available on Tuesday at 10am PST after the competition weekend. There will also be a live link to the presentation on the results page of the competition city you attended.

Thank you for your continued support as we conclude the 2021 Regional Dance Season.
