April 2021 schedule

GETTING BACK TO THE STUDIO!

Beautiful dancers, I'm so excited to take some petit jetes back to the studio. Classes will open in phases to stay safe and remain flexible.

With that in mind, I'm happy to announce the first weekly class I'm teaching in-studio:

Saturday Open level Technique (begins April 17)
12PM-1:30PM
Inspire Dance Studio, La Canada.
This will be an open class limited to 8 students. The fee per class will be $20.
You must sign up in advance for this class. Drop-ins will not be allowed.

Continuing on Zoom: Tuesday & Thursday 6:45PM-8PM, Wednesday 6-7:15PM; Saturday 9:30-10:45AM, Sunday 10:00-11:25AM and Sunday Pointe/Pre-Pointe 11:40-1PM. The fee for Zoom classes will continue to be $15 per class.

Continuing on YouTube: Friday 11AM-12PM.

Not ready for an open class but still want to dance in the studio? I can do a 4-person pod class at Inspire on Wednesday at 8:15PM and can consider other pod classes at Studio A and Live Arts LA starting in May. CONTACT me if you are interested in setting up a pod! (What's a "pod?" It's a semi-private class of up to 4 students for a month!)

Please read before you come to the studio!

1. ALL dancers MUST wear masks in the studios.
2. ALL dancers MUST sign up for classes in advance online ONLY (spots are limited and I need you to sign COVID waivers)
3. ALL paper cards will be converted to e-cards. For the foreseeable future, I will not have paper cards and all transactions will be contactless. PLEASE email or text me with a photo of your class card so I can provide you with credit which you can apply to the purchase of any class, either online or in-studio.
4A. In case you can't attend, PLEASE cancel or reschedule your class online at least one hour in advance so that another student can take your place.
4B. If a class is full and you would like to be on the waitlist, PLEASE text or email me so I can get in touch with you as soon as there is an opening.
5. There are NO DROP-IN's - PLEASE do not come to the studio if you are not signed up.

I realize this is a lot of info so please don't hesitate to ask questions!
