Competition Formats and Adjustments – As Government guidelines and regulations change, there is potential that competition formats may also change. Options could include a limited audience size, virtual events, or a change of date. We are hopeful competitions will run as usual, but we may need to adjust as necessary. 
There are also questions about masks, dressing rooms, rehearsal spaces, etc.  The answers to these questions will be made available closer to the competition dates as they will have to be responsive to regulations at that time.  We have been in contact with each competition and can assure families that organizers are planning with the utmost regard for dancer safety.
Group Competition Credits 2020 and Competition Charges 2021 - With the change of venues, prices have changed slightly.  We have posted 2020 CREDITS (100%) and the NEW 2021 Competition Charges to your accounts.  Please find attached documents for Competition Fees 2019-20 AND Competition Fees 2020-21.  You can check your account before we process the amounts on November 15th. 
Extra Choreography Credits 2020 and Competition Charges 2021- We are in the process of posting 2020 CREDITS (100%) and the NEW 2021 Competition Charges to your accounts. You can view your account and we will process these amounts on November 15th. 
If a Competition Gets Cancelled in 2021 due to Covid-19 – Our credits with SHYANN, SUNDANCE, DREAM TEAM will continue to 2022. View Dance Challenge will refund less an SBS administration fee. ARTIST EMERGE is a Virtual Competition.
What If Your 2020 Credits are more than 2021 Charges? This scenario would happen if you have dropped a class and did not replace it with another.  If you have more competition credits than you do charges for this season, you would have a credit competition fee balance. This balance is on our records. Please choose one of the following options and email info@stepbystepdance.ca
#1.  Carry 100% Competition Credit to 2022 competition season.
OR
#2.  With the additional work and costs a 20% administration Fee will be applied leaving you with an 80% refund which can be applied to your account which can be used towards tuition, costume costs, or other.
