Question 1

Where exactly is the competition being held?

Accepted Answer

OnStage is held at the Humboldt Uniplex. The dressing rooms are in the curling rink, the stage is in Jubilee Hall. Enter through the main doors of the Elgar Peterson Arena and you will see signs indicating where to go!

Question 2

Where do I park?

Accepted Answer

There is a massive parking lot surrounding the venue so you will have no problem finding parking. Half of the parking lot is paved while the other half is gravel. Please ensure you park in designated areas only.

Question 3

I noticed a mistake on the schedule. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Please contact your studio director and have them contact us as soon as possible.

Question 4

What time do changerooms open in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Changerooms open 1 hour prior to the first performance. Please do not arrive earlier as the building will not be open. The theatre generally opens 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled performance.

Question 5

What time should I arrive at the competition?

Accepted Answer

Please confirm with your studio directors what time they want you to arrive at the event. Remember to leave extra time for parking and finding your changeroom – especially if it’s your first time at the venue. In addition, although we have a make-up & hair room, there are not enough mirrors for every competitor – so it’s often a good idea to have hair and make-up done prior to arrival.

Lastly, we sometimes run early and ask that all dancers be ready to dance 30 minutes prior to their scheduled performance.

Question 6

My dancer is currently 14 but they are in the age 13 solo category – is this correct?

Accepted Answer

Age is determined as of December 31st of the previous season (i.e. ages are taken as of December 31st, 2010 for the 2011 season).

If you notice your dancer is not in the correct category given the above cut-off date, please contact your studio director and have them contact us as soon as possible.

Question 7

How do we find the changerooms?

Accepted Answer

OnStage Dance Festival will have signs to help navigate you towards to the changeroom areas. Changerooms will be assigned by studio, with multiple studios per changeroom. When assigning dressing rooms, we take into account the number and size of dances the various studios have each day and try to accommodate everyone’s needs.

OnStage will assign a ‘Quick Changeroom’ backstage which is intended to help dancers with a quick change.

We thank you in advance for your help in sharing the dressing room space.

Question 8

Can my son change with his studio?

Accepted Answer

We ask that all males change in the designated ‘boys changeroom’ and not in the female changerooms.
