What the petition asks
With dance halls closed organisers can’t run competitions. With no competitions young dancers lose inspiration to continue and Dance schools are seeing a sharp decline in numbers of children. As a chain reaction many professional competitors, coaches and adjudicators are also lack work.
Professional competitors get majority of their income from competition prize money. Achieved titles give them status and work in various schools & dance studios. With no competitions and no children in the dance schools, neither is possible. The Organisers, adjudicators and coaches can’t earn their living if there are no competitions to organise and therefore to adjudicate. The dance industry urgently needs the halls to reopen if it is to be saved before it is too late!
