This is likely a lack of phosphorous and potassium. This will cause deformed flowers, or no flowers at all. I would recommend potassium phosphate, or any flowering plant food. This should take care of the issue. This article will help in the meantime: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/dahlia/dahlia-care-grow-dahlia-plant.htm ^[1]
