In an effort to make sure we are taking sure of all
dancers, directors, parents, spectators and attendees, we have the
following information about our events and the COVID-19 virus.

This is going to happen. We're not sure when, but we are going to hold
Nationals this year. As soon as Lagoon receives permission to open, we
will do it. Here's the latest update.
ONE WEEKEND of Clogging, one weekend of Dance.
We will combine both weekends into one including a show and have our
All-Americans, Nationals Champions and Yearly awards
DATES:
As soon as Lagoon is able to open, we will set the dates about 2-3 weeks
later. This should give us time to get back in our studios, practice up
and get ready for a Nationals to remember. Anyone can register at that
time. No qualifying required and no late fees.
If it can happen in May, we will run it towards the end of the month.
May 21-23, or the 28-30.
If it happens in June, we will look at the soonest dates, including
using weekdays if needed.
If it goes into July, we will look at the dates and assign them as soon
as we can. We can actually run it all the way into October? Wouldn't
that be crazy? But Plan on Nationals this year. Somehow, someway...
Virtual Nationals.
We have discussed the idea of running some sort of Virtual Nationals for
individuals, where dancers would submit video of their individuals and
have judges online judges, score and we would send out awards. This is
only for a last case scenario, but the idea has been floated
around...weird as that seems. The sheer number of videos alone are
unbelievably overwhelming, but I have it on my mind.....much preferred
better to just hold Nationals...... We'll know more as we get to May.

UPDATE: 3/18/2020
All America On Stage events are on hold until the CDC, Dept of Health
and governments deem it allowable for us to hold competitions.
We are constantly monitoring the situation and making plans for the
future. Check below for updates and check back often to see the latest.
RESCHEDULE
There are many who have asked us to reschedule events in late May or
June. We will certainly do our best to make it happen.
As you can see below, Richfield, and St. George events are being
rescheduled as we progress along this new downtime.
As soon as the quarantine is lifted, and we are allowed to hold events
again, we will have permanent dates and let you know.
REFUNDS
Rest assured, all events that are cancelled will be refunded in full. If
we don't have the event, we'll refund you completely.
If you want to use your already paid fees from an cancelled event for
another, let us know and we will reassign your fees.
If you can't make it to an event that we re-schedule, we'll refund you
completely.
We hope you know you are our first priority and in this time of
uncertainty and for many of us financial hardship with lost revenue in
our studios, we will refund any and all fees you desire for events not
able to be competed.
Simply let us know.
Many have asked us simply to hold what they have registered and paid for
and use it towards whatever is our next event. We will do that as well.
SHALL WE REGISTER?
Right now, we are recommending you register online for the events you
want to attend, but hold off on paying. We will take payments for
competitions as they happen without any late fees.
Utah State Registration: If you want to register for Utah State, please
do so and if we an hold it, we will plan on it. If it is not an option
due to the world still being shut down, no harm done. Hold off on paying
any fees until we let you know.
Nationals registration: Register online and simply wait to pay. That way
we will know who is planning. If you need to wait and see what dates we
do it before registering, that will also be fine.
We will communicate as soon as we know all dates and
when registration money is due.
RICHFIELD COMPETITION - Re-schedule
ST. GEORGE COMPETITION - Re-schedule
UPDATE: 3/18/2020
It appears we will reschedule this amazing event for early
June as well. Right now we are looking at June 5-6. We need to wait to see when
we are able to hold events again, but we are planning on holding this event.
We'll keep you updated.
If you can't make it, we'll refund you for sure or you can
use your registration money towards another event of ours if you so choose.
UPDATE: 3/12/2020
We have spoken with our board of
directors, and the Dixie Center. With the Governor's recommendation
to not hold any large group meetings of more than 100 starting
Monday, March 16th, we will be following the State's recommendation
and POSTPONING the event.
We will look at rescheduling it later in the year and let you know
about all updates. Please keep checking back here for the latest
updates.
All registrations will be refunded.
Utah State
COMPETITIONS - On Hold
UPDATE: 3/18/2020
These two events are a little harder to reschedule as the
large convention center we use for the Utah State Clogging
Championships and Taylorsville High School which is used for the
Utah State Dance Championships may not be available once everything
is open and ready to go. We need to wait to see when we are able to
hold events again, and when we can hold them, we will certainly let
you know. We'll keep you updated.
If you can't make it, we'll refund you for sure or you can
use your registration money towards another event of ours if you so
choose.
UPDATE: 3/12/2020
We will address whether we can
hold the Utah State Dance, Clogging and Power Tap Championships as
we get closer. Those who wish to attend may register now and pay
later with no late fees.
We will also allow late registration to register without any late
fees.
Should the State, CDC, and State Dept of Health determine we are
fine in holding the event, we will let everyone know as soon as
possible.
NATIONALS COMPETITION - It's GOING TO HAPPEN!
UPDATE: 3/18/2020
Nationals is going to happen. It's simply a matter of
when. Here are our contingency plans.
There will be no qualifying required
to attend Nationals this year as several teams and dancers may not get the
chance to qualify anywhere. This is for clogging's 2nd weekend only. Only the
2nd weekend of clogging requires qualifying. Every weekend is open this year.
Option A: Everything is open in May and we run it like normal.
Option B: If we need to move it back, we will run Nationals
over two weekends and use all our stages for lots of competing. We might even
need to run it on Thursday, Friday and Saturday each weekend.
If we do run it later than planned in May, we plan on doing the following
May 15-16, All Dance events. Solos will go on Friday (Thursday will be used if
needed). All teams will go on Saturday. We will have enough stages and space. We
have it all planned that we can make it work if needed.
May 22-23, and (possibly May 25) All Clogging events. This would be a combined
1st and 2nd weekend of clogging Nationals. We have plan in place for how this
would work too.
Option C: If we are still closed through May, we would run
Nationals in Early June. We'll of course address this if we get to this point.
Dates would be assigned at that time. It could event be a 5 days straight event
as there is no school. At this point.... who knows!
But we plan on holding Nationals and we plan on doing it at
Lagoon. One awesome, incredibly crazy unforgettable year.
Lagoon has been working with us very closely and we will make it happen as great
as we can.
UPDATE: 3/12/2020
It appears we will reschedule this amazing event for early June. We need to wait
to see when we are able to hold events again, but we are planning on holding
this event. We'll keep you updated.
If you can't make it, we'll refund you for sure or you can

We will address whether we can
hold Nationals at Lagoon Dance, Clogging and Power Tap Championships
as we get closer. Those who wish to attend may register now and pay
later with no late fees.
We will also allow late registration to register without any late
fees.
Should the State, CDC, and State Dept of Health determine we are
fine in holding the event, we will let everyone know as soon as
possible.
We wish everyone to take care of themselves, and
we will see everyone on stage when everything goes as right as
possible.
