TRAINING IN 2020/21
We understand how frustrated dancers are right now, and how concerned their parents are, as well. Training from home has limitations, and even though there are a multitude of hybrid training options out there, there are valid concerns.
-
How do you determine which program is best for your dancer?
-
How do you ensure they are progressing when there are a multitude of resources with no meaningful progression?
When it's time to return to in-person training, is your studio following safe protocols?
Everyone deserves a safe environment, whether it's virtual or in-person, to grow and develop.
