COVID-19 Precautions
- Masks will be mandatory for all spectators.
- Dancers may remove masks when they are ON the dance floor competing in an event. They will replace the masks upon exiting the floor and awaiting recalls.
- Capacity in the gymnasium will be limited to a number below maximum capacity. We are working with school administrators to determine that exact number.
- Friday, each team will be provided with their own room to change and keep costumes. Teams will be asked to keep movement within the school to a minimum to reduce unnecessary contact with other schools.
- Saturday will be comprised of four separate sessions. The gym will be cleared between each session for any needed cleaning and sanitizing.
- Limited concessions will be available. We encourage all purchases to be made with a card. No Cash.
- Advanced spectator ticket purchase is strongly encouraged. On-site ticket sales will only be offered if we have not reached the predetermined capacity for each session.
