SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-
posted Nov. 30, 2009

We, at MA Dance, understand and fully appreciate the many challenges directors and team members face in preparation for the contest season. This year our nation faces the possibility that the H1N1 virus may cause numerous school or studio absences from your dance classes during the January - April season. With this in mind, MA has formally adopted the policy of ensuring that penalties will not be given for obvious "holes" in routines at our competitions. Our only request is that you contact the MA Office at least 2-3 days before the contest date with your situation so that we can make any administrative changes in the office, and apprise the judges’ panel. You and your members have worked too hard and devoted too much time for you contest season to be ruined by a health issue that no one can control.
 
We wish you the best of luck and hope that your fall season has been wonderful. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of our contests. Please feel free to contact us by phone (800-977-7933) or email with any questions concerning this issue.

Executive Director
