Dear TDC Family,
With the announcement of the federal government's Opening Up America Again Guidelines last night and the closure of CT schools through May 20th last week, we wanted to let you know that we are diligently working on and thinking about what this means for our programs and events. We are waiting to see what phase of reopening our state is in by early May to make decisions about a return to the studio in June, recital and other events.
So while we do not yet have answers as to what is possible as we seek to reimagine things like our recital and competition, here's what we DO know:
Our TEACHERS are going to continue to SHOW UP and SHOW OUT for your kids in our weekly classes and activities (which go until May 21)!
We are still going to HONOR our SENIORS in a special way!
We are going to continue to make PRUDENT decisions that prioritize the SAFETY and HEALTH of our teachers, students, and community-at-large.
We will continue to adapt and we will GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
Because of your support, our studio will BE HERE FOR THE KIDS today...and we will be here when the day comes that we can see each other again in person.
We will hold a second TDC Family Chat with our updated plan in early May after we know more about what phase of reopening Connecticut is in. In the meantime, we THANK YOU for your ongoing support for our teachers and our students as we seek to continue to be an anchor of familiarity and community at this time.
In closing, someone shared this meme with me and it gave me so much hope and strength. Let's remember all the wonderful things that have NOT been taken away during this pandemic and enjoy and cherish them.
And, so we continue FORWARD in love, hope, faith, and friendship; showing courage for our kids, creating new memories and lifting the spirit of our community along the way.
With appreciation,
Miss Carrie
