Health & Safety of our dancers and staff are first priority.
In every studio, we added new filtration systems and HEPA filters. We are constantly watching our local guidelines to make sure our dancers, teachers, and families remain safe and healthy. Masks are not mandatory at this time, but if you wish to wear one you are more than welcome!
