Welcome to the Event Competition Page for OTB Sunday 8th December at Colne Muni
Here, you’ll find all the information you need to plan your time with us. Use the tabs at the bottom of this page to navigate through different sections of information for this event. Please note that final event details are typically posted one week before the event, once entries have been processed.
This competition is one of our smaller events ideal for beginners/ intermediate dancers.
To ensure everyone has a comfortable experience, each dance school will have a reserved seating on both the ground floor and the balcony. The day is divided into four main sections, so we kindly ask that attendees arrive no earlier than 20-30 minutes before their section starts, unless for example accompanying siblings attending earlier sections. The balcony offers ample space and excellent views, so if anyone arrives early, you may be guided to the balcony seating until your section begins.

Important Information
A Body of Persons Approval (BOPA) has been issued for this event by the local Council. Under BOPA conditions, the priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of all event participants, with particular attention to children up to school-leaving age. This should be considered a team effort between:
* Event Organisers
* Event Staff
* Licensed Chaperones
* Dance School Teachers/Leaders
* Parents/Guardians/Responsible Adults
It would be much appreciated if all attendees could take note of the following information.
Photo/ Video Policy-
As this is a private event for event participants and their family/friends, our organisation would like to be able to permit the use of cameras to capture these special memories. We would however like to bring your attention to the following:
Solos & Duos- If you are intending to upload photos/videos of your participant to social media, it is recommended that you consider your privacy settings so that you limit your audience to close friends & family. Our team may also take videos and photos to use on OTB social media pages. If anyone does have any concerns/objections to this or would like us to make adjustments for any particular event, please speak to your dance school lead who will communicate this with our events team.
Team events- One nominated person from the dance school performing their team routine may video the routine from the front. It is strictly prohibited for anyone else in the venue to take a video recording. It is then at the teachers discretion where that recording gets shared. This is so that the teacher can decide who has access to their choreography and also for safeguarding reasons which are considered different to a solos/duos type event. Still photographs are permitted but please consider the points highlighted in the solos/pairs sections above.
Child Supervision & Sign in/ Sign Out Procedure-Participants up to school-leaving age are supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Participants of this age will not be permitted to pass our door/security team without a responsible adult accompanying them. On arrival and departure, event participants are asked to inform their teacher/group lead so that they can record attendance times at the event.
Safeguarding info- Our safeguarding policy can be found here
The Designated Safeguarding Leads for OTB is Jessica Porter who will be in attendance for the duration of the event and will be based on the stage. Alternatively, you can email info@onthebeat.dance

Wristband Information
