Competitions and Deadlines Information

NexStar - Past Due. Please pay these competition fees as soon as possible. We went ahead and paid these fees since it is our national qualifications competition and we wanted to be sure we got into the competition.

Stage One - Due as soon as possible. They will not "guarantee" us a spot if we register later than 30 days out. This puts our pay by date to Stage One on 2/11.


There have been rumors that we are asking for competition fees a month in advance to receive a rebate from the competitions. Unfortunately, we have not been able to take advantage of these discounts due to the number of students with outstanding balances. If we are ever able to take advantage of these savings in the future, we will definitely pass this discount along to the students. And it is usually 35 to 45 days payable to the competitions to receive such discounts. Don't worry we are not making any extra money off of competitions.

We know it's been tough financially with back to back competitions and costumes. We understand it's tough times for everyone. We pray that things will get better for America soon.

We will continue to ask for the competition fees a month in advance to be sure that we get into the competitions that we want to attend. We are sorry if this causes issues with anyone. We do not like to wait to the last minute. We try to be prepared as much as possible and feel this is very important when trying to run a studio with over 200 students.

Please feel free to talk to us anytime with such concerns of why we make the decisions that we make.

Thanks!
