Held in the Autumn term of the 2009/2010 academic year, '''York Come Dancing''' is Dancesport's rip-off of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing show. | |||
Throughout the term YSTV produced weekly "round up" shows of the rehearsals that went on that week. Finally on Sunday Week 8, YSTV broadcast the finals live from Central Hall. | |||

I know, everyone's ''favourite'' word. Unfortunately working in Central Hall is not the simplest task in the world and a few things need to be adhered to. | |||
First of all, access to the Balcony is only allowed with a member of Audio-Visual staff present. There is no bending this rule. If there's no technician, there's no access, period. AV time is free for 12 hours, then charged £35/hour after that. This will come out of Dancesport's budget, so use the time wisely. | |||
'''The Balcony is Serious Business'''. Really. There's some very dodgy pipes extruding from the floor and ceiling as you make your way around, and it's more than likely you'll hit your head if you don't look where you're going. In addition, the lighting hanging from the lower gantry gets very hot, and should not be touched when in operation (or afterwards, for that matter). On no account should '''''ANYONE''''' walk onto the gantry without a full harness and the direct supervision of AV. | |||
If the worst happens and you do get burnt from one of the lights, there are sinks in the changing rooms and toilets on the second floor. Hold the burn under cold ''running'' water for at least 10 minutes; no ifs, no buts. | |||
The Projection Booth is not very large, and with four crew plus our video setup it's going to get a bit cozy (not to mention boiling hot). For this reason, crew should avoid loitering on the Balcony area, especially during the show. | |||
Obviously, all our cable runs should be as safe as possible, as they will go directly through the audience seating areas. | |||
The rehearsal room on the 2cd floor is a disabled access route, and needs to have a clear access route from the lift to both sets of double doors. Bear this in mind when setting up preview in said room. | |||
The seating from block 6 is traditionally shoved backstage when not in use, we may need to relocate some of this to the area behind the screen so we have room to make a set. | |||
