Seating Capacity

Dance studios bringing large props or set pieces must use the loading dock located at the back of the Jenny Belzberg Theatre.
To ensure smooth access and proper coordination with venue staff, studios must email the Summit Dance Challenge team at least 48 hours in advance to schedule a prop load-in time. This allows our team to notify the venue and ensure staff are available to assist.
Loading Dock Availability:
Prop load-in is generally available between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, when venue crew are on site.
Important Notes:
Advance scheduling is required. Studios should not arrive at the loading dock without a scheduled time.
Earlier notice is always appreciated to help us coordinate access.
While the venue will do their best to assist with urgent situations, unscheduled access cannot be guaranteed.
📧 To schedule studio prop load-in, please email: summitdancechallenge@gmail.com

At this venue, the dressing rooms are dance studio classrooms with specialty dance floors, which cannot accommodate tap shoes. To protect the flooring, the venue has very strict policies.

🚫 Absolutely NO tap shoes or hairspray are permitted in the dressing rooms, in addition to the rules below.
The Margaret Greenham Theatre rehearsal space may be used for tap shoes. The performance stage is the Jenny Belzberg Theatre. Both theatres are located beside each other.

Dressing rooms will be assigned by studio when possible. Please follow these guidelines:
1) Dancers should arrive with makeup already done whenever possible. If makeup must be done in the dressing room, please bring a towel or mat to place products on and ensure floors and surfaces remain protected and clean.
2) Clean up after yourself.
3) No food or drinks (except bottled water).
4) No photos or videos.
5) No parents allowed in dressing rooms. If you need to assist your child with a costume change, please do so quickly and exit promptly.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep these spaces safe and respectful for all dancers. Remember, both dancer and parent etiquette contribute to your studio’s eligibility for the Studio Spirit Award and a 🍕 Pizza Party!

LOWER LEVEL: Quick Change rooms and access to rehearsal hall and backstage.
MAIN LEVEL: Lobby, Merch Table, Audience Theatre access
UPPER LEVEL: 2 Large Female Dressing Rooms, 1 Male Dressing Room, 1 All Gender Dressing Room and access to rehearsal hall.

SCHEDULE
& APP
INFO

Award sessions take place at the end of each performance session. A studio representative must be present at all award sessions, as awards cannot be shipped or collected at a later date. This includes the Grand Awards presented at the conclusion of the competition.

Important: If a soloist is registered with more than one dance school, this must be brought to our attention in advance. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from overall awards.

Our schedules are thoughtfully created to minimize time away from school and work.

After registration deadlines, studios receive their entry details to review and request corrections at no charge before schedules are built. Once the schedule is created, changes that affect the running order will be subject to a schedule change fee, so please review carefully.

Date-specific requests submitted in advance will be considered for graduation conflicts only. For other conflicts, studios may request a dance-ahead opportunity after the draft schedule is released. Adjustments are not guaranteed.

Final studio schedules will be shared at least one month prior to the event.

Accurate birthdates are essential—any errors in a dancer’s date of birth may result in their media key not functioning properly.
