FAQ for Admission 




Where do we go when we arrive? 

DANCER CHECK-IN

Upon arrival dancers are asked to check in to receive their dancer bracelet for the weekend. This gives them access to backstage as well as the dressing rooms.

STUDIO DIRECTOR CHECK-IN

Teacher passes and chaperone passes will be included in the Studio Director bag. If you wish for an instructor to pick up the bag instead of you, please let us know before the event so we can release those passes to that person. Chaperones can get their passes from their studio director.



Where can we park?

VENUE PARKING & ENTRANCE

The entrance to Riverview Arts Centre is a one way street. When you first pull in there is a stretch of road before you come to a parking lot on the right hand side. If you keep straight there is another parking lot up ahead on the left. If there are no spaces in either parking lot you can continue straight and there is a dirt parking lot at the end of the road. When you go to leave the facility make sure you continue along the road as the exit is different than the entrance. 


What is the policy on dressing rooms?

DRESSING ROOMS

We ask that only teachers, designated chaperones and dancers enter the dancer area. Chaperone passes will be given to Studio Directors to distribute in their Director's bag. A parent/guardian of young dancers may escort their children to the dressing room and are not permitted to stay unless they've been given a chaperone pass by their studio director. Absolutely no males are to enter the dressing rooms unless they are a registered dancer or teacher. 

Please refrain from having food and beverage in the dressing room area.

Dancers, teachers and studio directors are responsible for their designated areas in the dressing rooms and are asked to tidy up their area before leaving each night.



What are the rules for backstage?

BACKSTAGE RULES

SOLO/DUO/TRIO/QUAD: When a category contains mainly solos, duos and trios we will allow some dancers to come backstage with them to watch from the wings. We love hearing all of the dancers cheer for the other routines!

GROUP ROUTINES: when there are group routines on next or if the category mainly contains groups, dancers will not be permitted to watch backstage and are asked to line up in the hallway at least 3 routines before theirs. We want to ensure that each group has the space they need to line up in the wing and that there is no one in the way if they have to run off and on. Our backstage crew will monitor the sessions to use their judgement on when dancers can be backstage and when they can't. Your cooperation with this is much appreciated! For those dancers who want to see their teammates, we will have a TV set up in the dancer area for dancers to watch with the livestream if they're unable to do it from the wing.



What time is the venue open?

Friday November 1: 4:30pm

Saturday November 2: 7:15am

Sunday November 3: 7:15am



Can we take pictures and videos of our dancer?

PICTURES & VIDEOS

Photography and video of any kind is prohibited. As part of your registration fee, your pictures and videos are included! After the competition you will receive a link where you can receive your pictures and videos to download to your device.


How does your finals format work?

How early should we arrive?

ARRIVAL

Competitions can and do run ahead of schedule sometimes. It’s best to arrive at least an hour before your scheduled dance time and even earlier if your dance teacher has indicated that to you. This way you have time to park, get ready, stretch and be in the right head space to compete 


Will this event be livestreamed?

Yes! You can find the livestream on our website under the Livestream tab ELECTRICBEATDANCE.CA


What are the auditorium rules and competition expectations?

RESPECT & THEATRE ETIQUETTE

We love the support you give to your dance families and want to make sure your experience is a positive one.


- If you need to leave the auditorium please do so in between routines so as not to block the view of those around you while the performance is happening. If you haven’t found a seat and the routine has started please wait at the back of the theatre until the routine is over to take your seat.

- There is absolutely no food or beverage permitted in the theatre. You will have to enjoy your tims/startbucks in the lobby ;) 

- Video and flash photoraphy is strictly prohibited. Your pictures and videos are included in your registration fee so you don’t need to worry about capturing the memories, we will do it for you!


All staff and volunteers are to be treated with respect. All concerns should be addressed through your studio director and if not resolved, with our admin. Foul language or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in being asked to leave or disqualification of your dancer.


Will there be a printed copy of the program available?

Our programs are digital and will be available on our website at electricbeatdance.ca 1 week prior to the event start date. We will also have a limited number of printed copies available for $5 at the event. We will also email your studio directors a PDF copy so you can print it at home beforehand if you prefer.


What does BIPC stand for?
BIPC stands for Beginner, Intermediate, Pre-Competitive. This year, The Final Beat will have representation and overall winners for both BIPC dancers and Advanced dancers.

What is available to purchase?
There will be a small canteen available as well as Electric Beat merch. Cash and card are available provided the internet cooperates.

For questions about the venue or the competition, please ask one of our staff who would be happy to assist or find the right person to help. For anything dance related, please reach out to your child’s teacher. If you have concerns, please contact your Studio Director and they will direct you to us if needed.

Best of luck to all dancers competing and we will see you all very soon!
