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.

We are advising attendees to cooperate with the policy to avoid any inconvenience when arriving at the event.
