End of the Year Information
Hi Everyone!
I hope your family is enjoying the warm weather and still staying safe and healthy!
Thank you for participating in our Reopening Survey. It has helped us get a better idea of how to proceed with our recital. I was in a meeting with Bob Duffy on 5/26 where he was able to confirm that dance studios have been moved out of Phase 2. They are currently unsure if they will fall under Phase 3 (Fine Arts schooling) or Phase 4 (Arts and Performance). This coming Wednesday, June 2nd, I have another meeting with Bob Duffy and Dr. Mendoza after which I hope to have a better idea of how we can celebrate the end of the year with our dancers. I wish I had more answers, but I trust that pushing things out for us, although disheartening at times, is the best way to keep all of us safe and healthy.
Classes: We will be continuing with the ZOOM classes with the official last day being June 20th. The week of June 15th-20th will be party week! We would love it if each dancer could wear their dance costumes to each class as a mini dress rehearsal. You don't have to worry about hair or anything like that although if you feel inspired and it will help brighten your child's day you are more than welcome to go full recital!
Recital Info: We currently have tentative dates (awaiting reopening approval) for our "outside" recital.
July 10th 3:00pm-7:30pm(solos and duets)
July 11th 10am-6pm (groups)
July 12th 10am-6pm (groups)
The show will take place in our parking lot, totally not ideal trust me I know, but we will bring out the dance floor to keep the kids safe from debris. I think the best way to maneuver through this is to have each class come to the studio at an assigned time, perform their routine, record it and then leave a window of time to clean before the next class arrives. We will try to keep the dance levels together on the same day for everyone's convenience. After the meeting on Wednesday I will have more information regarding if and how many spectators we can allow at each class time. Once your dancer has finished dancing, we would kindly ask if you could leave to avoid a crowd. Each dancer will receive a recital shirt, a DVD of the full show, as well as special gifts from our staff!
July Dance: To ensure that all our dancers remember their dances before the "recital" we would like to meet with all classes July 6th-9th free of charge. Depending on the guidelines these classes will be available either on ZOOM or as a hybrid class where students can come to the building (if you feel comfortable) with a camera in class for ZOOM if you prefer to stay home. Again, there will be no fee for these refresher classes.
Costume Sheets: We will email out costume papers for each class very soon. They will have a picture of the costume, hair requirements and makeup options. Makeup is not mandatory.
Picture Day: If all goes as planned, as soon as each group has finished recording their dance on July 10th,11th and 12th they can enter the studio building (one at a time) to meet with CLIX for individual pictures. I spoke with Austin (photographer from CLIX) and he said he can even take the individual pictures and make them into a collage so you have an opportunity to purchase a "group" photo to remember this crazy time.
Tentative PDC specific Reopening Guidelines & Procedure: Once we are approved to reopen, we will have a procedure each dancer will have to follow every night to take classes at our studio. We have a tentative procedure set up at this time but after my meeting on Wednesday with Dr Mendoza I will send out the confirmed procedure.
***Payments: We will be applying a 10% discount on everyone's June payment. If you have paid the year in full or in advance you will have a credit on your account for next year!

***If your dancer will no longer be participating in classes or will not be at our recital please let us know ASAP
Thanks!
