Happy October!
 
Our first 2 weeks of classes was a success!  The dancers and staff have been busy adjusting to their classes and new procedures.  We appreciate how flexible, adaptable and positive all our students have been.  It's so wonderful to have the studio filled with such amazing energy and excitement again and even though we can't see our dancer's smiles, we know they are just as happy as we are! 

**Lobby Update**
 
As the weather changes, we will begin to transition into using the lobby.  We have marked areas for each studio with chairs set up to allow adequate social distancing.  Along with our Hepa Filters we have installed in our vents, we have an additional air purifier running in the lobby.  Masks or face coverings are required at all times.  Except for our Pre-Dance and 5-7 yr. old classes, the lobby will remain closed to friends and family.  
 
We will also continue to provide a space outside, under the covered area, for dancers as long as the weather permits.  
 
Teachers will continue to dismiss dancers through their outside doors to allow for a better one way traffic flow.  Once they are dismissed, they can go back to the lobby to wait for their next class.  We will adjust this process as needed and will continue to communicate any updates.

Drop off and Pick Up Reminders -

As it begins to get darker much earlier, we ask that you remind your dancer to wait for their ride inside the lobby or right outside the front doors.  We do not monitor the outside areas beyond the lobby/front bench and we just want all our dancers to be safe.  
 
The curb is for drop off ONLY.  Please park in a spot if you are waiting to pick up your dancer. 
Space Available!!

We still have openings in most of our 10-12 yr. old and Teen Classes.  Pass our information to your friends.  We would love to have them!
 
 
Halloween Week--   
  
Every year our dancers ask us if they can wear their costumes to class and the answer is YES.  
Dancers can wear their Halloween Costumes to class Monday, October 26th - Friday, October 30th.
 
We ask that dancers still wear appropriate dance shoes and correct undergarments.  We will not allow any inappropriate or scary costumes, dangerous props, face make up, hats or wigs or costumes that interfere with dancers participating in class.  Costumes with glitter will not be allowed in the studios because it's too hard to clean off our floors.  If you wonder if your costume is appropriate, feel free to ask your teacher.  Remember this is supposed to be fun, BUT it cannot be a distraction the dancers or teachers. 

Wishing everyone a wonderful October and let's keep dancing!

Cheers,
Sara
