Dance retail at our location was provided by Bethesda Dance Supply which has closed its location. If you have questions, please contact the owner at the following e-mail: Jason@BethesdaDanceSupply.com 

We also recommend Footlights Boutique and The Cinnamon Tree for in person retail.

We have moved to "masks optional" in our studio.  We may need to change this over time if conditions warrant.  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 prevailing conditions require -or- if we experience a high number of positive cases.  We may need to convert some or all classes to Zoom only from time to time or for extended times.  Please review our COVID video that relates our protocols.

Anyone who is experiencing COVID (or other contagious disease) symptoms should not come into the studio.  If a dancer tests positive for COVID, please follow all current CDC recommendations about returning to the studio.  

We are updating our Zoom policy for 2022-2023. As with all of our health & safety policies, this policy may be changed at any time to reflect county, state and CDC guidelines.

Zoom Options will be available in a limited capacity for the 2022-2023 year. If your dancer meet the criteria below and needs to utilize Zoom, we must be informed well before the start time of class via contact@ovationsstudios.com; advance notice is necessary to facilitate the zoom equipment set-up before the start of class time. While we will still include Zoom links in the parent portal, we ask that the utilization of said zoom classes be limited to the following:

• Dancers who have tested positive for and/or are displaying symptoms of Covid-19. 
• Dancers who have tested positive for and/or are displaying symptoms of any contagious disease that may be spread in a classroom.
• In the event of an emergency situation that would prevent staff from being able to access the studio (i.e. Snow Days, Flooding, etc.)
• For make-ups in full classes. Please note, make-ups may be scheduled in person only in classes that are not at capacity.
