Maryland Dancesport 2010

In case anyone was planning to attend. The competition was scheduled to start tomorrow, but due to the weather forecast it has been postponed.

WOW! Do you know if they have chosen a new date?

I'm both happy (because now maybe I can go!) and bummed (because I'm supposed to be in "Vagina Monologues" this weekend (which is a HUGE fundraiser to benefit Rape Crisis and Family and Children's Services, so size of audience REALLY matters).

Wow! How bad is it supposed to be?

 

[syncopationator]

I'm sure once they figure out the new dates it will be on the website. All I know is that its not happening this weekend.

per the website:

Due to the severe weather that is approaching , Maryland DanceSport Championships Has Been POSTPONED. We will contact by phone and or email to update you on the future date of the event. We apologize for all and any inconveniences this has caused.
Thank You

I think I might be the only one who is pleased as it was a bad weekend for me and I have not missed it in the last three years

 

[syncopationator]

might be blessing in disguise for me as well as I could not do it this year due to conflicting schedules. Maybe the postponed date might work better.

But I can also see entries down even further as those who were originally planning to attend may no longer be able to.

or...a different date may help...

At least one other person is happy, or will be when they get back to the computer. Someone had just complained to me that they were going to have to miss it (wanted to go to cheer on a friend) just before this thread was posted.

I had to halt my pre-comp hyperventilating. Darn it, I was really looking forward to this.

The page owners should probably post something on the FB pages, too. The comp one has a link to the comp website, but it would be better if the FB page itself also said it has been postponed. And Barbara Condon had a page, too, but I don't see that now.

That's really good of her and smart, too. But I was thinking of random potential spectators who might happen upon the page and think about going to watch.

The "official" MD Dancesport FB page created by Glenis and Andrea sent out a message to its members. Barbara Condon's page is mainly to promote her personal business and not an official page.

Has any NDCA competition ever been postponed? I think rescheduling an NDCA comp will be a nightmare because I think there are some strict guidelines that NDCA set for scheduling a comp.
