18 and over, a private address, and the other rules with no exceptions
Three conditions we do not bend, why they exist, and what happens when they are not met.
Three conditions with no exceptions — and not because we are being difficult. Here is what they are and why they exist.
Who is responsible for checking
Whoever books. We ask on the phone and get an answer, but we are not in the house. If it emerges on site that the conditions are not met, the show does not start — even if the booking was made in complete good faith.
The common situation
An enlistment party where part of the group is still seventeen, or a birthday where the children are "asleep in the other room". Both recur, and the answer in both is the same.
Why a private address
Three reasons: it is what the law and our own rules allow; it is what makes it possible to control who is in the room; and it is what protects everyone's privacy.
Photography and publishing
Publishing a photo or video of a person without their consent is a genuine legal problem, and that applies to the dancer too. Consent to photos at the end of a show is consent to photos, not to publishing.
The bottom line
18 and over for everyone in the room, a house clear of minors, and a private address. Three conditions, two minutes to check, and no flexibility.
