Socks – All juvenile girls will get a pair of socks for each competition this season they will be in the teams accessory box. Please pack spares if you have them just incase.

COMPETITION WEEKEND

As the times for this competition are spread over two longer days, we will be getting majority of the teams in the hotel, and the rest in the ballroom. We have tried to timetable this so that all dancers can do at least one parade over the weekend, and are also in the ballroom to support all other Fever teams.

All hair for Saturday will be done on Friday in hotel. Any hair changes for Sunday will be done in the hotel on Saturday evening after the competition.

Arrival
The changing rooms we are usually in are on the right hand side of the building, this will be shared with other dance schools. This area is to be used for dressing and make up for those not being done in the hotel.

As soon as the dancers arrive in the ballroom please find our seating area get settled and then bring them to the changing rooms to get them dressed.

It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to get the children dressed but please be aware that certain changing rooms are for females only.

Once dressed, please see Jillian/Alex/Laura/Hannah/Rachael they will instruct you on what to do next.

Competitors will be instructed by their teacher as to where they should be at each point of the day.

Outfits/Accessories
Accessories for those who are getting ready at the hotel will be done before you leave. The rest of the teams will be done in the ballroom.

Extras you may need to bring along yourselves.
Juveniles wearing dress/white shirt – nude bra (if needed)
All leads wearing trousers – black socks and black knickers/boxers
Junior leads – correct coloured bras for under your shirts.

Shorts/Leotard for leg tan in the hotel are always a good idea, along with sliders or slippers so they can dry without socks on.

Once your child has danced, had photographs, and got changed, all outfits must be handed in to the relevant parent taken home. All accessories must be handed to the parent in charge of the accessory box before you leave the ballroom.

All outfits have numbers in them and on the hangers, along with the dancers name on the hanger. Please can all parents/dancers make sure that the correct hangers are with the correct outfits before handing them back to the parent looking after that team.

If you have a Fever Foam finger you are welcome to bring this for the parade, and the party.

Food & Drink
Kings Hall have a small food area. We do advise that you bring plenty of food and drink with you for the weekend. There is a sainsbury’s not too far from the Kings Hall but not much else around.

Please avoid giving your children lots of sickly foods or fizzy drinks.

PROTECT YOUR OUTFITS – Eating in outfits is not permitted! WATER ONLY is allowed to be drunk in outfits with your kimono or tracksuit jacket on.

Medicine
Please remember to bring any medication as required, especially inhalers if used.

Supervision

No unaccompanied children are allowed.

Please take responsibility for your own child and ensure they are in the right place at the right times.

NO COMPETITORS ARE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE BALLROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM A MEMBER OF STAFF
