Parent/Student Responsibilities

Dancewear Requirements

We have found that wearing the proper attire really makes a difference in the student’s ability to feel where their body is in space during class. It also makes it easier for us to give corrections and help where needed.

Covid-19

Please note: We will be monitoring the Covid-19 situation closely. If needed we will switch all classes to Zoom and continue learning. We have the capacity to teach exclusively via Zoom or a live class/Zoom combo if necessary and will take the precautions needed during this time. We are disinfecting barres and common areas between classes. Hand sanitizer is available for use before and after class and at all breaks.

We ask that you monitor your family and keep your dancers home if they are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or are otherwise sick. Please encourage your dancers to wash their hands frequently and take any precautions you feel are necessary at this time.

Students may wear masks in class. We are not requiring masks at this time as many of our students rely on lip-reading to participate fully in class.
