I've seen policies of "test on arrival, keep your N95 on until your test
resolves" in a lot of places, and I think they're often a reasonable
tradeoff: it means your test is as current as possible, an N95 is very
effective, and the chance of a positive is low.
If the rule was "everyone tested and wearing an N95 the whole time" that
would be different, but this is a situation where the default was to keep
the N95 on and not test.

attending or performing at
a dance would determine that their test was actually negative before
entering the hall and potentially exposing people.

For those of you with a COVID policy regarding testing (particularly re:
performers "testing in" to be on stage unmasked) - please consider your
lead time and possibilities for contingency action. We'll be changing the
policy of our dance due to our experience tonight.
Our caller (me!) tested upon arrival at the hall. Entered masked, helped
get set up going and then discovered a positive result. Thirty minutes to
the first dance, folks already en route. Best efforts made, the dance was
able to happen without me but just barely.
We will be requiring this optional testing now to happen within a
specified period which will provide for sufficient time to react
appropriately before the event set up commences.
