Event Information
In order to participate and/or watch DanceMakers convention classes all attendees must have a wristband (teacher/dancer/observer). Competition is open to anyone who would like to watch! No wristband required.
Wristbands for entry into ballroom must be worn throughout the convention and competition. Please do not remove wristband. If replacement wristband is needed, the old wristband must be presented at registration.
During the convention setting there are no oversized dance bags or luggage allowed in the ballroom. Keep all belongings as far back against the walls as possible. This is to ensure that all the dancers have plenty of space.
All dancers must wear cover-up and shoes when outside the ballroom area. No tap shoes or bare feet outside ballrooms.
Please be respectful of other guests in hotel and public spaces.
