Thank You for a wonderful 25th Anniversary National Competition!
.

We appreciate everyone following our COVID-19 protocols which resulted in no major outbreaks for any of the 43 studios that attended. We proved that wearing a mask works!
.
We wanted to update you on our plans for next year! If there is a vaccine available before March and everyone has the opportunity to get a vaccine, then we will go back to running our competitions as we have in the past. However, if that is not possible, we will try to follow the same guidelines that we did for our 2020 National Competition. This means everyone will be required to wear a mask in the building except for the dancers when they are on stage and even then, it will be their choice on wearing a mask or not. Sanitation will be done before and after all sessions, and the audience will be limited to one or two adults per dancer depending on state mandated protocols.
.
The solo/duet/trio dances will be run per normal with proper social distancing for awards (similar to what we did for Nationals). For groups, they will most likely be divided up into sessions where everyone has a separate dressing area and awards will not be until the end of the day or when the sessions for a division have been completed. We will try to do these awards when those divisions have been completed because obviously, we will not be able to deliver trophies like we did for National results. We will most likely limit the group award sessions to only one dancer per studio per division and the teachers/directors from each studio. But the actual dance sessions will be run as close as to how our Nationals were run as possible.
.
We are in the process of re-confirming all of our locations. As far as any changes or cancellations for next year, we all know with COVID-19, anything can change at any time. If we have to cancel a competition, everyone will get a full refund back, same as they did this past year.
.
Once again thank you for trusting Dance Showcase USA with your dancers, staff and families at our 2020 Nationals. We believe each of you are a part of our dance family and we are going to help you stay safe and healthy at our regionals like we do with our own families. We hope you will give us the opportunity to work with you and your dancers in 2021. Directors/ Teachers, please feel free to call me at anytime if there are any additional questions you may have regarding our 2021 Regional dance competition Covid-19 policies or any other questions you may have.
.
We wish for you and your dancers to have a wonderful start to your 2020-2021 dance season.
Thank You and Great Dancing!
