COVID-19 and Dancer Safety
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the entire world, idance® along with HHI have decided to make this year’s event VIRTUAL.
So you can participate and watch the event more safely. We believe it’s the right thing to do.
COVID-19 Special Rules
Social Distancing
Crew formations are often performance element that allows crews to put their unique stamp on their performance however Social distancing among the dancers during the performance with multiple dancers is not likely.
In an effort to accommodate government mandates for social distancing the sensible solution is to restrict direct dancer partnering or the propeling of a dancer in a routine. Any form of body contact that seems intentional and rehearsed among crew members and used in the routine is prohibited and subject to penalty deductions.
