Stage One Productions was created by Greg Massay and Dee Massay. Greg and Dee, after working in the dance industry for more than 40 combined years, decided they could create a better dance competition. Thus Stage One was born. Greg and Dee strive to create a competition that provides the dancer with a positive, constructive environment. They wish to create a relaxed, professional and well-run atmosphere especially for the teachers and directors. And they work to offer parents a comforting, safe place to encourage their children while watching them succeed.
Over the last 11 years, Stage One Productions has grown from just an idea to one of the industry’s leading companies. Stage One is known throughout the competition circuit for its friendly and helpful staff and its relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. Greg and Dee are proud to bring their award-winning competition to a city near you this year in hopes that you will choose to take part in the magic of Stage One Productions.
“Our WORDS will never express what every person (students, parents, and staff) who attend Nationals in Gatlinburg experienced. We will truly cherish all the memories given to us from your staff (who genuinely personalized every answer to a question or a concern), to other schools, to judges (who were honest and fair). We came to Nationals because we wanted our students to experience the next level of competing. We left not only with that… but so much more. We thank you for it.”
-Angie, Studio Owner and Director, Atlanta, GA
“I want to thank you for an awesome time in Arlington! My entire studio left with such a positive spirit! We are already looking towards next year...”
-Denise, Studio Owner and Director, Overland Park, KS
“Thank you and your staff for ALWAYS making the Stage One experience a positive one. Your Regionals and Nationals are THE BEST… well organized by a well informed staff all contributing to the reason that when I select competitions for the upcoming year, Stage One is the first one on our calendar… then we fill in the others after that!”
-Joanna, Studio Owner and Director, Arlington, TX
“I just wanted to thank you for another great Nationals. Our studio had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back next year. You have the best competition out there today run by truly nice and caring people. The staff, judges, the competition was all wonderful. See you next year...”
-Tara, Studio Owner and Director, West Chester, OH
