NOTE: Teachers are responsible to play backup music. We ask that teachers are present at the music table to give any special cues. We cannot guarantee that a pitch control change can be precisely made. It is best to pre-pitch all music to avoid technical issues.

RAC N ROLL POLICY: The Sanderson Centre has implemented a policy banning Rac N Rolls from the facility. The Sanderson Centre change rooms are equipped with hanging shelves/racks for dancers to properly store their costumes. The policy was put into place to allow more changing space for dancers and to clear entrances and exits from obstructions. The policy is NOT that of Purpose Dance Competition Inc. We are advising attendees to cooperate with the policy to avoid any inconvenience when arriving at the event.

PROGRAMS: Show programs will be available for purchase at the merchandise booth in the main lobby. Electronic programs will not be available.

LIVE STREAMING: All performances and awards ceremonies will be live streamed. Our live stream can be accessed via the Purpose Dance website homepage.
