- Dancer prep area: There is an area dedicated to dancers for stretching and preparing just before taking the stage. This area is only for the next 3 dance crews due to perform. Due to the nature of the World of Dance venues, it’s impossible to offer proper dressing rooms to each of the hundreds of dancers participating in the event.
- Due to time constraints, tech rehearsals will not be permitted on the main stage.
