3.1 Meeting Point & Backstage Access
As some parent is sharing room with their dancer child, hence parents are responsible for bringing their children to meeting points and transferring them to team supervision. Family members should remain in designated audience areas and not access backstage locations. The backstage area has limited space, and additional people may create logistical difficulties. Our staff will request parental assistance when necessary or communicate about any emergencies. Parents must be reachable via WhatsApp at all times for important communications to ensure smooth operations.

4. Free Time and Outings: We will provide a schedule for families wishing to spend separate time with their children. Please note that our itinerary is compact with limited flexibility. All dancers must adhere to the 11:00 PM curfew and be ready for early morning activities.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Parents may not delegate childcare responsibilities to our staff, other parents, or teenage dancers. They cannot assume such responsibilities on your behalf.

5. Room Policies: All traveling children and teenagers remain under our coaching staff's supervision. Any invitations for meals or gatherings at all times included within the hotel compound & in room dining, require prior approval from our coaches. Dancers may not leave their assigned rooms after being instructed to return unless they have received permission from the team leader for a valid reason.
Students may not join gatherings in other rooms without authorization. When permitted, all gatherings must end by 10:30 PM, as curfew is 11:00 PM. Team leaders will conduct room checks starting at 10:30 PM for all students, including those staying with parents.
