Classes
Dear dancers, I have decided to cancel classes for the rest of the month until we see how the situation develops. Please stay safe and healthy as we support our community’s efforts to prevent the spread of the covid-19 virus. Enjoy the rain, the sun, and time at home! When we get the go-ahead for classes to resume, we will make plans to reschedule the recital.
Pre-Ballet schedule change:
Starting Wednesday, March 18, the pre-ballet class will take place on Wednesdays at 3:30. We hope that new students will join us as we work towards the recital in May. Please pass the word around. Thanks!

Goodie table: We will be setting up a table for refreshments. If you can bring some cookies or easy to hold snacks, that would be great!
Backstage moms: We will need two moms/grandmas to help backstage during the show with the younger dancers. This basically involves making sure they are all ready to go on stage, and getting them to the bathroom if there is a need. Please let us know if you are available to help. After Nina’s dancers have performed, we will allow a moment between scenes for them to get with their families in the audience.
Seating: If you are planning to watch the show, please purchase a ticket at the door. If this is a problem, please let us know, as we can always accept help in exchange for tickets.
We ask that seats are saved ahead of time for audience members with special needs only. Thank you.
