Announcements
Spring Classes are filling quickly!
Spring Session starts 1/23 and ends 6/7. No classes 3/29 - 4/4, 5/3-9 or 5/29-31. If you are interested in our Spring Session, please register as soon as possible. Many of our offerings are at capacity. We have had to cap our offerings at lower total levels in order to comply with County regulations, so there are considerably fewer spots open across levels and genres.
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.
Summer Survey
Help us create a summer schedule that meets the needs of our community. We have created a short survey and are asking for input. Here is the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PW6npwtYzrGp78zcLXobvx7oGNy9mCZ0sfgorTbhiGo/edit
Recital Plans
We are planning (and hoping) for the opportunity to hold our annual June recitals again this year. Deadline to register was 2/19/21. We have reserved the theatre June 8-13 for these shows and rehearsals. However, we might need to shift this to an outdoor venue and/or a filmed production (with no audience) if COVID restrictions warrant. Please sign up now for recital. Most classes for dancers who were age 5 on or before 9/1/20 will have the optional opportunity to participate. Here is the link for the recital costume measurements form. Please complete this before 2/19/21. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s4Sx-zOSlhOZDRJ-EFxNEosRu1-idrXk22X7JWrKqDo/edit
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.
Nutcracker
We are moving our annual Nutcracker production to a filmed production May 7-9 this this year.
