Dear TDC Family,
At TDC the health and safety of our faculty and students are our most important priorities.
Yesterday Gov. Lamont signed an executive order canceling classes at all public schools statewide effective March 17 through at least March 31.
We have determined that is it in the best interest of our faculty and families to temporarily suspend all classes for that time period as well.
To manage this change, we will be canceling our previously scheduled spring break, April 6th-12th. If the federal, state and county officials reopen schools by April 6th, we will reinstate our regular class schedule beginning Monday, April 6th.
Also, we run a 30 week dance season, BUT we had scheduled for 31 weeks on the calendar this year! That means we already had one extra week of classes built into our schedule, for which we are VERY grateful.
In addition, we didn’t schedule any classes May 22nd- May 28th. We have traditionally held Memorial day weekend and the week after open for snow day make-up classes or additional recital rehearsals. The good news is we can now offer our regular class schedule during that week in May and give our students rehearsal time to prepare for their recital performances.
We are planning to resume classes along with the local schools on Monday, April 6 and will offer a week of make up classes immediately following recital to cover the other service days. If anything changes with that timeline we will let you know.
At this time our recital date, May 30th remains unchanged.
In the meantime, we have been in contact with Donner Photographic regarding the picture pick-up date scheduled for this Saturday, March 21st.
The picture sales day has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 4th from 10am-2pm at The Dance Corner.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and should other changes to our season be needed we will update you accordingly.
Finally, our teachers are working hard this week in the studio to create recital practice videos for all our classes along with additional online class resources. Our administrative staff is in the office creating a virtual learning website exclusively for our students. If you haven’t joined our private online Facebook group for our families only, please do.

We want to stay connected with all of you and offer you support and resources during this unprecedented time.
As always, but especially now, we greatly appreciate your support during these challenging times and so do all of the kids and teachers.
In partnership,
Miss Carrie
