Logging into Online Classes
All classes are available to live stream on Zoom. If your dancer isn't feeling up to coming to class or you can't make it to the studio for any reason, you can access the class Zoom link in the Parent Portal.
Please be sure your Zoom account name is the child's last name and preferably their first and last name. Teachers will not admit anyone into class who is not registered for the class.
Students should turn their camera on when they "enter" the online classroom so the teacher can confirm they are indeed a student registered for that class.

If you have any problem accessing your class online, please call our office at 860-663-3738. Our front desk staff can assist you and help get your child into class!

Important Info For Dancers & Families
 We ask all families adhere to the following:

  • Do not come to the studio if you are sick. All classes are available to attend via live stream.
  • If you are going to be late or absent, please notify the studio by email, missjenny@thedancecorner.com or phone 860-663-3738
  • When attending class online, please log in within the first 5 minutes of the class. Teachers will not admit students who are more than 5 minutes late from the waiting room.
  • Please be on time. Our staff will be meeting students at the drop off points 5 minutes before each class starts and will be waiting with students at the pick up point at the class end time. We only have 10 minutes between each class, so it is important that students are picked up and dropped off on time.
  • Students who are more than 15 minutes late to in person class will not be allowed to participate. An adequate warm-up is necessary for students to safely participate fully in class. Our number one priority is safety!
  • Gum chewing is not permitted at any time
  • No running or horseplay in the lobbies, studios or parking lot
  • All trash and personal belonging must be removed after each class. The Dance Corner is not responsible for the loss of any personal items left in our lobbies or studios.
  • Vandalism of any kind will not be tolerated.
  • Guests are not permitted in the dance studios or lobbies

We are excited to launch the WatchMeGrow App at TDC! WatchMeGrow provides a secure live stream video of our classes so you are able to view our classes while you are waiting for your dancer in your car or at home.

Our lobby may be closed but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on watching your child dance and grow with us!
