Dear Dancer:
After considering all the knowns and unknowns with the current pandemic situation, I have decided to cancel the upcoming Ohio Dance Convention scheduled for May 7 & 8, 2021, in Dayton, OH. I have considered all the possibilities and after discussing things with my committee when considering all risks including dancer safety and health; financial; attendance concerns; and the overwhelming responsibility that my committee would take on at the event. After much deliberation I have decided that it is in the best interest of all the committee members and dancers to cancel the convention.
I am already working with all of my obligations to cancel contracts and obtain refunds. I know the Miami Valley Dance Council will be ready and willing to host the convention in a future year. I am also aware that the local convention center and attached hotel are ready to assist with a future convention as well.
Matt Howard
General Chairman, 61st Ohio Dance Convention
