Miss Nicole

We are unable to start classes back up yet, so we are still closed ☹

Tuition: I went ahead and stopped all April payments from going through for now since we don’t know when we will be able to have class again. Past due payment reminders are automatically sent, so if you have a payment past due, you may still get an invoice for it. 

Recital fee was due April 1^st. I stopped auto payments from going through, however the invoices are still being sent out. If you would like to pay it now, you sure can. The new due date, however, will be May 1^st.

Recital: We are still having recital, but we are going to postpone it. I have two back up dates I’m looking at but I’m still working with everyone involved to set the dates before I give you an exact date. #1: If we are able to start classes again sooner than later, we will have a recital in the beginning of June.  #2: If this lasts longer than anyone wants it to, we will plan on having a recital at the end of August with classes in August as well to prepare for recital! I want to make sure all dancers still get to perform, so I sincerely hope the new recital dates will work out. This was an unfortunate circumstance that we are having to try to make the best of. I thank you all for your support and understanding.

Picture Day: Picture day will also have to be moved. Lisa (our photographer) would like to wait to set the new picture day to avoid having to move it more than once. As soon as we can start classes again, we will set a new picture day!

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you all sooner than later!

Miss Jessica and I miss all our kids sooooooo much!!!! We can’t wait to have classes again! We hope you are all healthy!       We love teaching your children!

Due to the State of Emergency, we do now have to close for one week. We will be closed starting tomorrow, March 20th through Friday March 27th. We are going to attempt to re-open and have classes again starting Monday, March 30th. Please keep an eye out on your emails or Facebook just in case that changes.Thank you all for understanding! I can’t wait until we can have classes again!

In the meantime…I am going to send everyone their music for each dance via email! That way your dancers can still practice their dances!  I am also in the process of figuring out how to get videos of each dance out in order to help kids learn the parts they don’t know or don’t remember. We did put an ending on almost every dance this week, so if you missed class, the video’s will teach any parts kids didn’t know before this week as well. If kids have any questions, you can always message me the questions or put them in a video and I will answer with a video that will help! If nothing else, please remember to stretch with warmed up muscles (meaning run in place, or do some plie’s and other exercises first) while we are not having dance! 

Miss Jessica would like gymnastics and tumbling students to stretch with warmed up muscles as well (meaning run in place or do jumping jacks first). You can also practice safe non spotting moves while on break; like hand stands, cartwheels, and back bends. 

We hope to see you all sooner rather than later! Thanks!

Hi parents!

I have been in contact with health officials, including the county health department. They told me that because we have less than 50 people in our studio at one time, we can remain open and still have classes. This is subject to change at any time, however, right now we are going to keep having classes.  

With that said, we ask that any one who is showing any signs of being sick stay home. You can contact Miss Nicole to go over procedure for missing classes. Attached are the posters I have been sent to put up around the studio. Feel free to go over these with your dancers to help prevent spread as well. 

We are also doing a thorough cleaning every night after classes. This includes sanitation of our floors, chairs, toys, and all door handles. We always sanitize our dance barres before classes each day, however we will be limiting use of barres for the next few weeks. Gymnastics classes use bars every other week. These are sanitized as well, but we will be wiping them down in between each persons use. If you would rather not use bars in gymnastics for the time being, just let Miss Jessica know and she will keep you learning other things! We are going to avoid holding hands or any other contact in all classes. This may be harder in our age 2-4 classes but all teachers will be washing hands in between classes and using hand sanitizer whenever contact with students is necessary. 

As always, the health and well being of our students is our number one priority! We are doing everything in our power to make sure we follow guidelines and are in contact with the right people to keep preventing spread. We will close our doors if we see it being necessary or if we are advised to by health officials, so please keep an eye on Facebook and your email just in case. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
