At this time we also will NOT be scanning vaccine passports for audience members, dancers/participants or volunteers.

• Please keep your area organized.

Highlights Concert is May 1, 2022. 2:00pm. Venue Dave Dunnet Community Theatre. There’s a good chance KCDS will be asked to perform in the Highlights Concert.  Please mark this date down on your calendar.  KCDS will be sent and email on 4/25 from the GVPAF outlining our involvement in the Highlights Concert.  Once the email is received we will post the info here. Please watch this site 4/25. Being asked to perform in the Highlights Concert is an honour - it's were the awards are given out.

The Festival is different from a competition.  Dancers are adjudicated on stage. Over all awards are given after all the performances are finished.

Q & A

​​

Q: Do we have to stay the whole time

A: You can stay the whole day and cheer on your studio.  We'd love that!  Our Dancers do need to be there for their competition time and their awards / adjudication.  

​

Q: Can we come and go?

A: You might be able to do that.  Please watch the timing. It is best to not rush and have time for your Dancer to arrive relaxed and ready to take part in the competition experience.  

​

Q: If we don't like our competition day / time can we have it changed.

A: No we don't have any control over the schedule.

Received this note from the GVPAF - just now:

Hello Everyone, I have been told we will not have access until 8:30am tomorrow morning into Oak Bay High School. Hopefully, none of your dancers come earlier than that as I won't want them to wait outside in the cold.  See you tomorrow!! :-Bethany

We will see everyone that was arriving at 830 around 835am - no sense standing out side waiting,  

Sleep well, 

Nite, nite!
