Prelim ran so late, meanwhile the majority of those kids had to dance on that terrible stage while a perfectly good stage set unused right next to it! Between the judges and the organizers, where were the adults making decisions in regards to safety for these dancers.

so many falls on that stage - a couple were quite hard. Multiple other dancers who complained of slipping in the same spot and were lucky they didn’t take a spill too.

That was the only stage without plastic. Someone cut corners.

The fall was not at Detroit but we were at Detroit this weekend. Stages were so slippery and my dancer doesn’t dance her best on these stages since she doesn’t want to fall again. I see her kick height is lower and she doesn’t dance the fullest. There was some confusion with judges and placement there too. Hope results are accurate
