Dear Dance Family
It is with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes we have no alternative than to cancel the 56th Virginia State DanceSport Championships. We have literally chased down every path we could find to try to make it happen. As the State of Virginia continue to reopen new phases, the restrictions of “personal distancing” and “face coverings” remain in place making it pretty impossible for dancers. We honestly wanted this more for all of you and our dance community more than anything else. We will miss you all terribly and we pray for our country and our industry to heal soon. Mark your calendars for next year July 15-18, 2021
Wishing you all the best!
Rosendo & Ruthie & Francesco
UPDATE: We are very hopeful that 2020 Virginia State DanceSport Championships will be a go! July 16 - 19, 2020 at the Hyatt Regency Reston Hotel. We are working closely with the Hotel to insure all guests that our priority is the safety and well being of all. Over the next few weeks we expect there will be lots of changes so we will continue to monitor and pass information on as we get it. Undoubtedly there will be several changes we will implement to comply with all safety guidelines for our schedule and all Events. Please be aware that all posted information is subject to change. We will do our best to update as we get more information. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us directly.
