**Starpower Competition Confusion**  

**Starpower Competition Confusion**  

Elite Dance would like to clarify why we were unable to compete this past weekend at the Pittsburgh Regional event.  The Elite Team members were in the program book and had entry numbers for the event.  Starpower notified us of an office oversight, and their schedule was not really able to accomodate the entry of the 30 optional routines.  Elite entered the event on 3/14/11. 

We appreciate Starpower's apology for making a mistake which prohibited us from actually competing.  We would also like to  personally congratulate all of the dancers that were able to participate at the Starpower Talent Event.  Hopefully, next year there will be no errors, and Elite will be able to participate at the regional event.  Copied and pasted is the letter from Starpower sent to Elite on 3/18/11 that explained Starpower would be unable to accomodate the studio:

Hi Damian,

 

We have an unfortunate situation that has come to surface; we have a new employee here that is in charge of placing the mail-in registrations within the correct City. We discovered after a teacher called to confirm her entries that she had mistakenly placed a packet of Pittsburgh entries in the bin for Raleigh. The date stamp on the packet of entries was marked for 2/3/2011. That being said are unable to take your entries because it would put us over our max amount of entries. We sincerely apologize for this mistake. A director will be in touch to follow-up with you, hopefully we can work something out for your studio to come to another one of our Cities.

 

Thank you,

Staci
