2019/2020 SCHEDULED COMPETITIONS: *UPDATED 6/5/2020

Dear Competition Team Dancers, Parents and Instructors,

We have been so disappointed for all our competition dancers, particularly our seniors and first year competition team members, with the cancellation of our competition opportunities.  Unfortunately, Take Center Stage Dance Challenge in Rhode Island, June 26-28 and Elite Dance Challenge Nationals in Hyannis, July 22-26 have been canceled as well. Thank you for your understanding with all the updates and changes.

However, we have a new opportunity for a competition – Dance to Inspire - Sunday, August 2nd (one day) in Rhode Island. The competition will be live streamed which means little to no audience and all friends and family can watch from any device, anywhere, as the event happens. Dance studios will all be given a time block, so they will be the only studio at the event at a time. We will be limiting the number of people in the audience and everything will be “live-streamed” for relatives to watch live from home or people can even watch from their phones in their cars, outside, etc.. Directors, studio representatives and teachers will be admitted in the audience and a limited audience will be allowed depending on the guidelines advised. They will be having one studio at a time compete (again to keep numbers low and help with social distancing). Each studio will have its own awards, and overalls will be announced via live stream at the end of the event.

As a last attempt, Elite Dance Challenge is also planning on running a comp similar to Dance to Inspire August 21-23 in Worcester, MA at Worcester State University.

Please let us know if your dancer can participate in these competition and we will start to get our plans in place and send you more details.

Thank you!
