CLASS INFO

Every dancer has been given access to video instruction from their class instructor, as well video access to many technique classes taught by a variety of our instructors at DWR. These videos will serve as instruction for the period of our governmental mandated closure. Each class will receive an email with a link to: 
  • A video of the class’s routine with counts
  • A video of the class’s routine with music 
  • Audio music for routine

You will see they are organized in folders, named by the instructor and evening in which your dancer takes his/her class. If you are enrolled in multiple classes, you will have multiple folders.  

Although you do not need to, it may be easier to access these videos if you create a Dropbox account and download them to your account. This is a free cloud service so there is no cost involved in downloading. Again, this is not necessary but it could be helpful.

In addition, we will be providing dance educational videos to help pass the quarantine time. These online instructional videos will be based on technique and will cover the items your students would typically be learning in class at this time. You will have access to at least one video per week (min of 4) for each level of student. You will be given unlimited access to these videos but please keep in mind that these videos are for DWR dancers only. Please do not share them with others.

As a BONUS for our students and a way to stay connected as a dance family, we are also offering LIVE classes to participate in. These are free classes, provided outside your tuition cost as a service to our students. The schedule will be email to you each week, along with the applicable access information. You may also find this information each week in our dropbox links.

We wanted to take just a moment to express our most sincere thanks for your flexibility and understanding these past few weeks. Since you all know us well--you probably understand that, we don't deal well with any sort of change in plans. This is especially true when it affects hundreds of our dance families.

We realize this is a situation that affects EVERYONE and yet, NO ONE fully knows what's best or how to prepare. We have spent every moment of the last few weeks gathering as much information as we can so we can make the best decisions possible. The one thing we have learned is that everything is constantly changing and it is happening quickly!  

For now, there is a lot left unknown but here is what we can assure you: We will continue to bring dance to our students--no matter the format.

While we realize that we may just be the neighborhood dance studio and that what we offer is just dance classes, we are in no way going to take the biggest brunt of what may be to come as a business. But, we love your dancers and we realize that so many of your dancers need this outlet anyway, but especially now. They need some sort of routine, some sense of normalcy amid this interruption we're experiencing.

We don't know what the future of the next few weeks will bring as we all transition through this period but we want to be sure we're here for our dancers in whatever way we possibly can be, even if we can't be in the studio together.

For now, we will continue to follow the Governor's direction on closings, etc. At the time of sending this message, that means we are scheduled to reopen on Monday, April 13th. This includes recital scheduling--for now we will continue with the dates as scheduled. Although we anticipate that is likely to adjust, we are holding our current schedule until we receive further instructions from our state. We will let you know of changes, if any, should they arise.

In the meantime, everyone stay well and #justkeepdancin !



Roxanna, Richelle & Reann

p.s. We are so proud of everyone who has jumped in and joined our #justkeepdancin' series! We see you working hard at home and are SOOO proud of you! Keep at it!
