MSD - JULY 2020 UPDATE

JULY 2020 - SCHOOL UPDATE

We are excited to announce a transition to in-person, combined with on-line lessons beginning July 6th, 2020.   

For July - August lessons (6 weeks) will be offering both in-person and on-line (zoom) classes.  In order to offer in-person classes and accommodate those who are unable or prefer not to attend in-person classes at this time, we are offering a combination of both in-person and on-line learning.

Registration for each level or class includes 2 weekly lessons;

1. One on-line (zoom) class
2. One in-person class (or optional zoom live feed for those unable or who prefer not to attend in person classes)

Dancers are expected to attend both classes and registration includes both lessons.  A weekly live zoom video feed will be offered for those who do not attend the in person lesson.

• Dancers who haven't joined us for on-line classes are welcome to sign up for our combination of in-person and on-line classes for July & August. 
• Beginner & Preschool - Level 1 / 2 Soft shoe is recommended for those who wish to attend our Summer lessons.

Schedule - July & August 2020

We've had to make adjustments to our Summer Schedule in order to allow for the in-person classes.  Classes in June will continue with the current schedule until June 30th, 2020.  As of July 6th, we will transition to the schedule below.

As a result of the schedule changes, ALL dancers will need to re-register for July - August classes in the Student Portal - CLICK HERE

The Summer Schedule will be offered from July 6th - August 12th (6 weeks).  We will be closed for holidays from August 15th - 31st, 2020 and lessons in August will be prorated for the partial month of classes.
