• Dancers and their guests must check in with security at the entrance​ that leads dancers to the change rooms and backstage areas of the venue by providing their full names to receive a wristband.
• Re-entry will only be permitted for those wearing a wristband.

Additional Notes:

• After the initial competition day check-in, dancers can be identified by their "stage-ready" attire (e.g., performance apparel, costumes, or uniforms).
