Dear Parents,

Our staff is committed to creating meaningful and engaging experiences for our students and we care deeply about your health and safety in class and while visiting the studio. We are so excited to be teaching, creating, and hosting performances again this year!

HEALTH AND SAFETY

• The lobby is open and you may choose to wear a mask or not in the studio. Please do not bring your child to dance if he/she/they are sick or symptomatic. Our staff is fully vaccinated and we will continue to use social distancing, hand cleaning, air purification and steam mopping to mitigate the spread of any airborne or surface viruses and bacteria.
