Code of Conduct
Lumina Arts Code of Conduct
For Parents, Dancers & Spectators
At Lumina Arts, we believe that the side-stage jitters and the big stage lights should be paired with a culture of kindness, respect and community. To ensure everyone has a pleasant day, we ask all attendees to follow our Code of Conduct.
1. Support Every Performer
Whether they are from your studio or a rival school, every dancer has worked incredibly hard to get on that stage.
Do: Cheer loudly and clap for every troupe.
Don’t: Make negative comments about other routines, costumes, or abilities. If you don't have something nice to say, save it for the car ride home!
2. Respect the Officials
Our volunteers, backstage managers, and staff are here to make the day run smoothly for your children.
Please follow their instructions regarding seating, entry/exit from the auditorium, and dressing room space.
Abuse of staff will result in immediate removal from the venue.
3. The "Silent" Auditorium Rule
To give every dancer their best chance at a high score:
No Entry/Exit: Please do not enter or leave the auditorium while a troupe is performing. Wait for the music to stop and the bows to finish.
Phones on Silent: Ensure all devices are switched to silent.
No Filming: This is a major safety and copyright rule. Let the professional media team handle the footage while you enjoy the moment with your own eyes!
4. Dressing Room Etiquette
Space & Tidiness: Space is always at a premium! Please keep your studio’s dedicated area tidy, compact and free of clutter.
Teacher Supervision: Studio teachers must supervise their dancers at all times. Dancers should not be left unattended. At least one teacher or designated adult supervisor must remain in the dressing area with their group.
Parent Access: Parents are not permitted in the dressing rooms unless prior approval has been granted by Lumina Arts. Lumina Arts staff and volunteers will be available to assist and guide dancers to their assigned changing areas.
No Spraying Indoors: To avoid triggering asthma, health conditions or fire alarms, all hairspray, aerosol products and glitter sprays must be used outside the venue.
Shared Privacy & Respect: Be mindful that dressing rooms are shared environments. Maintain a professional, supportive and respectful atmosphere for all performers.
Respect for Venue & Property: Please leave all areas in the condition they were provided to you. Do not touch or move venue equipment or property that does not belong to your studio.
Damages & Reporting: If you notice any pre-existing fault or damage upon arrival, please report it immediately to a Lumina Arts staff member. Any new breakages or damage caused during the event will be billed directly to the responsible studio.
Cleanliness & Departure: Ensure all personal belongings and rubbish are cleared before leaving your allocated area at the end of the session.
5. The Adjudicator’s Space
The adjudicator’s table is a "No Go Zone." * Even if you know the adjudicator personally, please do not approach them or attempt to strike up a conversation.
Their decision is final and based on their professional expertise on the day.
6. Sportsmanship is Golden
Winning a trophy is great, but the way you carry yourself matters more.
Congratulate other studios in the wings, dressing rooms and in the foyer.
Lumina Arts is a "bully-free" zone. Any unsportsmanlike behaviour from parents, teachers or students may lead to a studio’s disqualification.
Let’s make sure every dancer shines today!
