- 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.

To get approval, email photos of your props to the Event Manager before the event. All email addresses can be found at the bottom of this document. All props must be fire retardant. Any prop that hasn’t been approved prior to the event will not be allowed on stage.
All performers are responsible for their own items. The venue and World of Dance staff will not be held responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.
