Covid Plans
We are trying to offer as many in person options as possible, while complying with County limitations on numbers per square feet. Some classes will be able to meet in person each week, while others will have to rotate in person every other week. At any time this may change if County or other restrictions require. We may need to convert all classes to Zoom only from time to time or for extended times. Please review our COVID video that relates our protocols.
Recital Plans
We are planning to have filmed productions for recitals. Recital pieces will be filmed on a stage, in full costume and makeup at a local theatre, and we will provide the recordings to the participating families. RECITAL FILIMING SCHEDULE WILL BE PROVIDED SOON. DRESS REHEARSALS AND FILMED SHOWS WILL TAKE PLACE JUNE 9-13. Deadline to register was 2/19/21.
Zoom Options
All enrolled dancers are welcome to participate via zoom at any time. Access the Zoom classes through the Parent Portal only. We ask all in our community to utilize this option if there is even an outside chance that a dancer or someone dancer has been in close contact with may have been exposed to COVID. It is imperative that we all work together to keep everyone safe and maximize the chances of preserving our in studio options.
