Health & Safety Guidelines

We are beyond excited to be producing in-person competitions again. In order for us to do so we’ve made several changes. PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION THOROUGHLY.

Here is what Applause is doing to ensure the health and safety of all dancers and studios attending our events in 2021!

NEW PROTOCOLS AND CHANGES
-Arrive 30 minutes ahead of scheduled competing time. You WILL NOT be allowed in earlier as we will be cleaning and sanitizing.
-PPE is required for all attendees. Masks are required at all times by any person who enters the venue area. Any guest violating this requirement will be asked to leave. Please inform your families of the importance of complying with this rule!
-Masks are optional for dancers while on stage Dancers may only remove masks for the live performances. (Please make sure each dancer brings a ziploc bag labeled with his/her name for the mask to be placed in during performances) Dancers must immediately put masks back on after the performance.
-Everyone attending must sign a waiver located on the Applause website.
-Temp checks will be taken for anyone attending the event. If any dancers, studio owners, teachers or chaperones are over temp (100.3F or higher) during check in, they will be given several opportunities to cool off. However, if continually tested over temp the venue will not permit admittance into the venue.
-Due to the strict COVID-19 venue restrictions, each venue will vary in total occupancy guidelines; we anticipate being able to allow 2-3 spectators per dancer
-Everyone must immediately leave the dressing room following the last act of your studio.
- NO parents or spectators are allowed in the backstage area.

LIVE STREAM So everyone can enjoy watching the event from the comfort and safety of your own home.
