From Our Desk

Hi Dance Family,

To serve you all to the best of our ability with digital classes, we are adding google classroom to our program.  Take the live class on zoom, then find a video recording and any notes from your instructor in your class on google classroom.  You will receive a link shortly to your google classroom.  Just accept it to join!  And please continue to be patient with us as we learn more new skills to work on the digital platform.

Thank you!

We’re happy to be able to bring your dance classes right into your home with Zoom.  It’s a free app you can download!  While our world is uncertain, we want to help your kids maintain some sense of normalcy by providing quality dance classes right in your home.  We look forward to getting back into the class room and finishing the year, but until then, we are happy to visit you digitally to keep working towards that recital.  Download your app at www.zoom.us. And follow the very simple and helpful tutorial below for easy set up.

Please be patient during week 1 as your dance staff has had to learn all new skills to make this happen and may have some kinks to work out on our first try.  We promise we’re working overtime to make this happen for you.

And if you have any questions, please contact portrea@thedanceacademygc.com.  She’ll be happy to assist you with online payments and any other things you need assistance with.  Thank you for choosing The Dance Academy, and we look forward to continuing to serve you.

Hi Dance Family!

We’ve created special Facebook groups for all of our classes to stay connected during our COVID19 shutdown.  Watch your email for a link to join the private group that’s right for your classes.  Your teachers will be posting activities for everyone as well as notes and videos just for your class.   We hope your family will enjoy these groups until we are able to meet again in person.

Stay Safe & Well!

Your TDA Staff & Faculty

Dear Dance Family,

We know how frustrating times like these are, and we fully intend to stay with you through the shut down and finish the year strong once we have a green light to open again.  In the meantime, your instructors are hard at work making videos of your dances the kids can practice with and finding activities to keep your kids dancing at home until we can meet in the classroom again.  We’ll have more details on that as we develop our digital program.  And we will definitely make up all missed classes once we open again.  In the meantime, stay safe and well, and know we still plan to serve you to the best of our ability.

With Care,

Miss Amber & your entire TDA staff

Hi Dance Family,

We will be closed until March 30th due to new order from Gov Whitmore.  Stay safe and well.

Hi Dance Parents,

In our ongoing effort to keep everyone as safe and well as possible, we’ve moved all of our competition team classes to early afternoon while leaving all rec classes at the normal evening time.  This will diminish the number of people in the building at one time.

Please understand it is your choice whether to come to class or not.  We are not worried about absences for the next 3 weeks.  If you feel the need to stay home, please do.  Also, if anyone in your household isn’t feeling well in any way, please stay home.

We will be taking other precautionary measures during/after classes such as wiping down ballet barres, keeping students apart during classes, and encouraging hand sanitizer use as each class leaves.  But we are counting on all of you to use your own personal best judgment for your family.  We support whatever decision that is and will be happy to see you after the 3 week period ending April 5th if you decide to stay home.

Wishing everyone good health,

The Dance Academy

Due to CDC regulations, we are postponing picture week to a later date TBA.  This means you will still have regularly scheduled classes (rec) and alternate schedule classes (comp) for the week of March 23rd.  We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but want to do our part to limit the spread of COVID19.  Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Dance Family,

In an effort to do our part in preventing the spread of COVID19, we are taking some precautions and would appreciate your cooperation in following some guidelines recommended by the CDC.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping all of our students healthy while in our facility.

1. Please don’t bring your child to class if they have any signs of illness.  This includes fever, cough, congestion, sore throat, body aches, chills, and any other symptoms.
2. Please do not bring your child to dance if anyone in your household is suffering from any respiratory or flu like symptoms listed above
3. Talk to your dancer about not touching other children while at class.  We will be making sure surfaces touched are cleaned regularly and provide hand sanitizer in multiple locations throughout our building.
