Covid-19 Update for our 2021 Season

Covid-19 Update for our 2021 Season

*as of August 18, 2020. Subject to change.

We are anticipating a great year ahead for Stage One! Even though we all have made MAJOR adjustments to our lives and our businesses, the outlook for the future of dance is BRIGHT!  We are forging ahead with our 2021 plans, adjustments will be in place to assure you the health and wellness of your dancers/families is our primary goal.

We thought you might like some updates:

• We are planning to hold our competitions IN PERSON and with great enthusiasm! In the event of an unexpected cancellation due to Covid-19, we will offer a virtual competition or full refund.
• Masks will be recommended for attendees and mandatory for our staff.
• Socially distanced group seating, as well as floor markers and tape lines used for dancers and observers
• As always, our performances and award ceremonies will be live-streamed
• There will be no scoring deductions for dancers opting to forgo costumes or wear masks and other safety precautions while dancing
• Increased sanitation throughout the weekend including the stage area, dressing rooms, restrooms, equipment, and hand sanitizer available in public areas. These precautions will be carried out by us and the Venue staff.

We will be communicating with the studios prior to the competition about any adjustments or changes we may need to make to the competition due to updated CDC guidelines or city regulations regarding Covid-19. Stage One had a very successful 2020 Nationals competition this summer in Branson, reinventing our style of competition. We implemented temperature checks, a studio block schedule for groups, as well as limiting the audience to ensure safety measures were in place. If needed, we are prepared to take these actions and more to create a competition you can feel comfortable bringing your dancer and families to.
