PROP DELIVERY

The Burlington Performing Arts Centre is strict about how props are delivered, so please read carefully.

Props can be delivered to the backstage area by driving into the parking lot found behind the theatre. Studios may pull their trailers into the loading dock and unload their props for the day. Props cannot be left in the loading dock overnight. Please reach out to the competition director if you plan on bringing a trailer, so your use of the loading dock space can be coordinated in advance.

DRESSING ROOMS

  • Dressing rooms are assigned.

  • Thank you in advance for sharing the space with other studios, and for leaving the space clean at the end of the weekend for further renters.

  • Please have hair and make-up done before arriving at the theatre

  • Dressing rooms open one hour prior to the first routine dancing on stage each day. If you arrive early you will unfortunately have to wait to gain access to the dressing rooms.


REHEARSAL SPACE

  • A rehearsal room is provided on the main floor, just off the lobby. Please be considerate in the rehearsal room and make sure to share the space with other studios, as the room allotted is small.
