JANUARY 2022 - COVID 19 & CLASS UPDATE
With the significant increase in Covid-19 cases, all schools now on remote learning, and health officials recommending we limit our close contacts, we feel it best to delay our return to Irish dance classes.
In-person classes scheduled to return on Monday, January 10th will be delayed until Monday, January 17th, 2022.
If absolutely necessary, we will further delay classes until students return to school and heath care & essential community services are not compromised. We are hopeful for a quick return to in-person classes and have full confidence our studio's covid-19 safety protocols and HEPA ventilation systems. But for the time being, we want to do our part to help reduce close contacts!
We understand dancers will be disappointed the the delay but we want to reassure them we can all get through this together. We have much to look ahead towards with plans for St. Patrick's 2022, our year end Recital, and Canada Feile.
To help keep dancers motivated over the next week, we have some new things to look forward to! Please see below for details on what we have planned for your class.
In-Person Private lessons will not be held during this time, but we are available for zoom private lessons next week. Please contact us at info@mcconnelldancers.com, for scheduling options.
We will keep you informed of any changes prior to January 17th, 2022. In the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and healthy by doing as much Irish dance as you can during this time.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at info@mcconnelldancers.com.
Thank you,

COVID 19 & CLASS UPDATE
JANUARY10 - 17th, 2022
PRESCHOOL
We appreciate zoom classes don't work well for our preschool students or their parents. With this in mind, we're going to send dancers a Preschool Dance Class Video to use at home this week. We'll have messages from our teachers and lots of Irish dancing fun to help our young dancers burn off steam at home this week.
To make up the in-person class time, we'll extend class time slightly each week and dancers will have the option to attend a make-up lesson anytime during the season (Saturday 9:25 - 9:55 am or Wednesday 5:30 - 6:00 pm). We'll determine the extended class schedule once a return to class date is confirmed.

ARDGHRAD / CRAOGHBRHAD
We understand zoom classes are extremely difficult for upper level competitive dancers and we are not going to schedule zoom classes during this time.
Instead, we feel it will be more beneficial for the dancers to have the opportunity to continue training independently in the studio, in a safe environment. More details will be sent out to Level 4 / 5 dancers.
