ENTRY – MELBOURNE Regional Competition – Troupes, Solos & School Dance Groups
Firstly please let us say that we are thinking of you all and sending you our love and prayers for your health and wellbeing at this time.
Entries have been temporarily suspended for our DLU Live Event in your region.
Like all of you, we are doing our absolute best to navigate this extreme situation as best we can and have currently postponed some of our earlier live events due to the current COVID-19 outbreak and consequent travel, event, business, lifestyle and social gathering restrictions. At present (as at end of March 2020), our venue hire is still in place in your region however current restrictions on holding events and social gatherings are not favourable to conducting a dance competition. If these restrictions remain in place over the coming months, undoubtedly we will need to postpone our Live Event in your region.
We are committed to supporting the Dance Industry as best we can and are happy to extend as much flexibility as possible to our valued studio directors and dance families.
New event dates are currently being assessed for later in the year in your region, however as there is much uncertainty around the length of time that restrictions will remain in place, we are being asked to remain flexible by venues.
If we do in fact need to postpone our Live Event in your region due to circumstances beyond our control, you will receive an individual email from us with options going forward.
What this will mean for you in the case that your DLU event is postponed:
- You can either roll forward your entries to a newly scheduled dates for DLU in your region once they are confirmed;
- OR, you can transfer your entries to an Online Heat;
- OR, you can count your regional entry fees as payment for Nationals qualification (this season only without having to actually perform)
Once new dates for your DLU event have been established later in the year, if you are unable to attend the new scheduled dates, and none of the above options suit you, we will provide you with a DLU Credit to the value of your entry fees which will last all the way through to December 31st, 2021. This option will only be available once new dates are established due to the ongoing uncertainty and daily change of protocols which are beyond our control.
