Covid Plans

We are trying to offer as many in person options as possible, while continuing to comply with changing local and state COVID regulations. 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.

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.
