• You need a valid ticket, which must be produced on arrival in order to enter the event.
• Please check carefully the venue, date and time printed on the front of your ticket as mistakes cannot always be rectified after the booking has been confirmed.  It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ascertain the date and time of any rearranged event.
• The advertised running time may change so please check with the CHANCE2DANCE production team on the day of the performance.
• We reserve the right to refuse admission in reasonable circumstances or to request any ticket holder to leave the venue and take appropriate action to enforce this right.

• Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult.
• If you arrive later than the advertised start time or you need to leave the auditorium for any reason then you may be asked to wait until a suitable break in the performance before you can take your seat. This may be the interval.  The Organiser would advise customers that no refunds will be offered to customers who are refused entry or ejected from a venue on account of late arrival.
• We cannot guarantee that you will be seated in the seat that was selected by you during the booking process. Our management team reserve the right to move you to a different seat in the event of any disputes.
• To ensure our audience safety CHANCE2DANCE may conduct occasional security searches which may include searching your bag before entering the event.
• Your ticket can only be refunded in the event that the performance is cancelled. Details of our Ticket Exchange and Resale Policy are set out above.
• In the event of a cancelled performance or a performance that has to be abandoned part way through, we will not be liable for additional travel or accommodation expenses.
• Reselling your ticket for profit or commercial gain makes it void.
• We reserve the right to make alteration to the advertised details for the performance at short notice (for example, changes to the running order). In these instances CHANCE2DANCE is not obliged to refund the ticket or exchange.
• On occasions the performance or public areas may be filmed, sound recorded or photographed. Buying a ticket affirms your consent to the filming, sound recording and/or photography of yourself as a member of the audience and the use, reproduction, storage, distribution and broadcasting of such films and recordings (including any copies made) without payment.
• Neither the Organiser nor the venue operator will be responsible for any loss, damage, death or injury howsoever caused unless (i) the relevant party has breached its legal obligations; and (ii) such loss or damage is a direct and reasonably foreseeable result of the breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Organiser will not be responsible for the actions of any third party, including but not limited to, the exhibitors.  Subject to this and with regard to personal property brought to the venue, the liability of the relevant party shall be limited to the reasonable cost of either repairing or replacing such personal property, subject to fair wear and tear.
• The unauthorised use of cameras, videos or any other sort of audio or visual recording equipment is strictly forbidden.
• Mobile phones, pagers and digital watches must be turned off at all times in the auditorium.

• Strobe lighting, smoke effects, loud bangs and shots are sometimes used in productions.

14. Snow Policy

Where snow or other adverse weather conditions are likely to affect a CHANCE2DANCE event the following policy applies:

Where snow or other adverse weather conditions prevent the CHANCE2DANCE team, the theatre/venue staff and/or the production crew from getting to work to the point that the show cannot go ahead, then the event would be cancelled, and customers will be entitled to a refund.  We try extremely hard to ensure the event goes ahead.  This is because we know from experience that our customers try hard to get to the venue, many are local and would not want to miss the show where possible.  Not everyone will be affected by snow.

Cancelled shows will be shown on our social media.  Keep hold of your tickets and receipts in order to claim any refunds.  Where we can, we may offer alternative dates/shows.

Where snow or other adverse weather conditions have not prevented the CHANCE2DANCE team, the theatre/venue staff and/or the production crew from getting to work then the show will go ahead.  CHANCE2DANCE regrets that some customers may be unable to get to the event, due to either their own location or travel plans, however in line with all other entertainment venues and concert providers, we are not able to offer refunds to customers who cannot get to the event, as weather is not in our control.  Where we can, we may offer alternative dates/shows.

Please be assured we make every effort to monitor snow reports and work closely with the venue to ensure it is safe to operate our events.

Part 2: Additional Terms applying to dance schools and performers taking part in any CHANCE2DANCE event

1. Theatre events - registration

1.1 All performers taking part in a CHANCE2DANCE theatre event are required to complete the online registration process and pay a registration fee of £25.00.

1.2 The registration process should be completed no later than 6 weeks prior to the date of the event.  If a performer has not registered by this time, CHANCE2DANCE reserve the right to exclude the performer from the performance and/or the programme. 

1.3 The registration process should be completed by a parent or guardian if the performer is under the age of 18 years.  The parent or guardian completing the registration process accepts the terms and conditions placed upon the performer on their behalf.

1.4 Performances by children are governed by The Children and Young Persons Acts 1933 and 1963, and The Children (Performances and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014. Unless the performer, their parent/guardian or the relevant dance school makes CHANCE2DANCE aware that a particular performer requires a licence to perform in a CHANCE2DANCE event, CHANCE2DANCE will assume that a licence is not needed and will, where a performer is under the age of 16, use the information obtained in the registration process to apply to the local authority for a licence exemption.  All licence exemption applications must be made at least 21 days before an event, therefore, should a performer under the age of 16 not complete the registration process within the time frame specified in 1.2 above CHANCE2DANCE reserve the right to request that the performer obtain their own licence exemption from their local authority and if necessary, exclude the performer from the performance.

1.5 Dance schools are responsible for ensuring that all of their students have completed the registration process and chasing any performers that haven’t done so.

2. Theatre events - Minimum ticket allocation

2.1 Upon completing the registration process to take part in a theatre event with CHANCE2DANCE the performer agrees to and is responsible for selling a minimum of 2 tickets for the theatre event they are registering for.

2.2 The minimum ticket requirement is applied on a per family basis, therefore any siblings involved in a theatre event are required to sell a minimum of 2 tickets on behalf of the family.

2.3 The minimum ticket allocation should be met no later than 2 weeks prior to the date of the theatre event.  Where this has not been done, CHANCE2DANCE reserve the right to contact the performer (or their parent/guardian) directly to remind them to buy their minimum ticket allocation.  CHANCE2DANCE will also make the dance school aware that their ticket allocation has not been met. 

2.4 If the minimum ticket requirement has not been met by the day of the event, CHANCE2DANCE reserve the right to take the performer out of the show.  CHANCE2DANCE also reserve the right to deny the opportunity for a dance school to perform in a future theatre event based upon the dance school not meeting their minimum ticket requirement in a previous show.  If a performer is taken out of a show due to not meeting their minimum ticket allocation, no refunds will be given to any performers within the same dance school if they choose not to perform in the show or because the dance school’s performance is affected due to missing a performer.  

2.5 If the minimum ticket requirement is not met on the day of the show, CHANCE2DANCE may seek to claim back this cost from the performer or the dance school.  The amount sought to reclaim will be the minimum cost of purchasing 2 tickets for the show the performer was involved in e.g. 2 concession tickets in the lowest band of tickets.

3. Theme Park events

3.1 The theme park and CHANCE2DANCE cannot take any responsibility for the young performers during their visit to the theme park.

3.2 It will be the responsibility of parents and principals to properly chaperone the children during their visit to the theme park.  We would suggest that anyone under the age of 12 has a parent or guardian with them at all times.  Anyone under the age of 16 should have a chaperone or troupe leader to report to during the day. The recommended ratios are 1 chaperone per 12 children for 12-16 year olds and 1 chaperone per 8 children for 5-12 year olds.
