House Rules

Video & Photography

The use of recording devices of any kind is strictly prohibited in the theatre. Thunderstruck Canada does not allow the use of audience photography or videography of onstage performances for the protection of our competitor's. We urge all studio owners, teachers, and especially parents to keep our performers photographically safe. The use of cameras or phones may lead to an entry being adjudicated only. Thunderstruck Canada will have a professional photographer and professional videographer whenever possible and both photo's and video will be available for sale on a cost recovery basis.

Outside Vendors

Thunderstruck Canada makes every effort to align with reputable vendors (photographers, videographers, etc) at various events. However, Thunderstruck Canada is not responsible for any unfulfilled orders resulting in a financial loss for the customer that may be caused as a direct result from the business practice of its vendors.

Dressing Rooms and Lobby

The performance venue, lobby and dressing rooms will be opened 1 hour before the start of the competition and close a 1/2-hour after the last awards session. In the event that you require additional theatre and/or technical time to set-up a performance, please inform us prior to the event so logistics can be organized. Depending on the nature of these requirements, set-up, takedown or cleaning may be charged for this time.

Littering Rule

Substances which alter the condition of the stage are prohibited. No form of liquid, gel, aerosol, glitter, etc. may be used that would affect the dancing surface. In the event that the stage requires a break in the performance to clean off the stage, a cleaning fee will be charged to the studio. If the stage is damaged as a result of mis-use, the Studio may be liable for damages.
