Synergy Dance Competition Information

Attached is a PDF document with information to review. It is a list of  
the most commonly asked questions we get from the school dance team  
divisions at each location. It includes information about how to  
obtain your written and video adjudications aswell as your scores, how  
things are judged, resources near the theatre and admission etc.  
Please don't forget to have your dancers sign in at the front desk to  
collect their participation prize package which is a waterbottle with  
various prizes inside. Any unclaimed prize packages will not be mailed  
to schools after event, they will be donated to our charity of  
choice-- the BC Childrens hospital.

Costume Changes and Scheduling Order: at the Vancouver Island event we  
inserted some of the regular hip hop division between some of the  
school dance team performances to help with costume changes. This is  
not normally how the school dance team division is scheduled, they are  
normally back to back, but as there were many costume change issues to  
sort out inserting other performances between some of the school dance  
team performances was the only way to make it work. You will notice on  
the schedule that the school dance teams have been chunked into three  
sections, these are all one school dance team section, but there are  
regular division hip hop routines scheduled between to assist with  
costumes. Should you need more costume change time please see the  
master of ceremonies to coordinate this at the event an hour before  
your call time.

The overall school dance team awards is the final session of Saturday night.

We would like to remind all guests that seating will be tight on  
Saturday night, the Charlie White theatre is the smallest theatre that  
we rent on our tour, (options are limmited on the Island) as result we  
have awards sessions every hour in order to clear out the facility and  
make room for the next spectators, however, whenever there are big  
groups in a category things do get tight at the Charlie White Theatre.  
We are anticipating a tight audience on Saturday night and appreciate  
everyones patience and understanding if guests must wait in a que to  
enter rather than immediately access in and out like you might expect  
at the larger theatres such as Bell Centre. In addition to the large  
hip hop groups, and the school dance teams there is also a studio  
production on Saturday night. Please plan for this, it may not be  
possible to "run in one dance before" as people can do at larger  
theatres.

We look forward to seeing the school dance teams Saturday evening!
