Teachers, chaperones, mentors and responsible adults may be required to complete the CUO Teacher, Chaperone and Mentor Form before attending an event.

It is the teacher’s responsibility to make sure all dancers are entered into the correct sections

Parents and guardians are welcome to take photos and videos of their own child during the event. If a parent, guardian or participant does not wish to be photographed or filmed, this must be raised with the dance school lead as early as possible. The dance school lead should then inform the CUO event team so that suitable arrangements can be put in place where possible. When sharing photos or videos online, please consider who may be visible in the background and whether it is appropriate to post. We recommend checking privacy settings and sharing only with an appropriate audience.

During team sections, each dance school may nominate one teacher or approved representative to record their team performance from the front. No other filming of team performances is permitted inside the venue. Each dance school is responsible for making sure they have the correct permissions from their dancers, parents or guardians before recording. Dance schools should also consider how any team footage is stored, used or shared, particularly in relation to safeguarding, privacy and protecting choreography. By entering or attending a CUO event, participants and ticket holders understand that Calling U Out may capture photographs and short video clips during the event, which may be used for CUO website content, social media posts and promotional material. Anyone with concerns about this should speak to their dance school lead, who can then contact the CUO event team.

Spectator wristband numbers must be confirmed by the event deadline, usually 3 weeks before the event, to allow time for wristbands to be prepared and posted.

Once wristbands have been confirmed and posted, invoices cannot be adjusted. Please check your numbers carefully before confirming your final order.

If you need additional wristbands after the deadline, these may be purchased on the door at full price, subject to availability.

If you require more than 10% extra on top of the tickets you originally booked, please contact CUO directly before the deadline so we can check availability.

Returning Wristbands

Teachers may return unused wristbands on the day of the event to the CUO desk team, in line with the CUO refund policy.

By booking or purchasing wristbands, you are agreeing to the CUO ticket and refund policy.

Lost or Forgotten Wristbands

If any member of your dance school forgets their wristband or ticket, they will need to arrange a replacement at the venue.

Replacement wristbands will be charged at the on-the-door price, subject to availability.

Wristbands must be worn at all times during the event.

No official times will be given for when categories are due to dance.

Rules can be amended at any time.

All dancers participate at their own risk. Injuries are not the responsibility of the venue, Calling U Out organisers or Calling U Out Ltd.

Personal belongings are brought at the owner’s own risk. Loss or damage is not the responsibility of the venue, Calling U Out organisers or Calling U Out Ltd.

By purchasing a ticket, you agree to the CUO event conditions and confirm that suitable insurance is in place for participation.
