RULES & REGULATIONS

All Dance Competition participants must read the full rules and regulations. 

• Download Rules & Regulations

• IMPORTANT PROP GUIDELINES:

Our No. 1 priority is for the safety and well-being of all competitors while at the Paramount, both on-and-off the stage.  Because of the multitude of dancers and staff backstage, space is extremely limited.  With that in mind, we ask everyone to adhere to the following rules:

• Props will only be allowed to be stored backstage TWO numbers prior to the dancer’s performance
• Only props required for that particular performance will be allowed to be stored backstage during that time
• After the performance has been completed, props must be immediately removed from backstage to make room for other props
• No props will be allowed to be left on stage for daily use or weekend use

In addition, no vehicles will be allowed to park in the back alley of the Paramount during competitions. Any unauthorized vehicles in this restricted area will be ticketed by the Aurora police.  We appreciate your assistance and cooperation in these efforts.
