Snow Closings

As a reminder, if we need to close due to snow an email will be sent out within one hour of class time. We often start classes for the day but need to close by the evening. Decisions to close are often made mid-evening if there is no snow on the ground at the beginning of our day. We will also post all closings on our Facebook page so if you haven't "liked" us be sure to do so!
Like us on Facebook
You are entitled to a make up class if we close due to weather. You may choose the class make up time from our schedule in person if space allows or via zoom. Note: Since we are unable to offer drop in make ups lessons in other classes this year due to COVID size restrictions we will offer a Zoom, sign ups, or class makeup day.  
 

Special THANKS to all the current ADA parents. We loved making videos for Parent Appreciation week and can't wait to be able to have you back in the studio to see us dancing in person!  We hope you liked your shopping bags!  If you didn't get one this past week please let us know.   
 
You can find lots of videos and pictures on our Instagram or Facebook page from last week.  Thank you for your support and encouragement during this crazy year!    
Wishing everyone a month of LOVE & HUGS
