Spring Class Info from the Artistic Director

Hello friends and families!

This year has been filled with change and uncertainty so I wanted to reach out to you directly to let you know about our plans for the Spring Semester.  As of right now, we are planning to operate our rehearsals and classes in-person beginning January 11. This is how our students learn best and this is overwhelmingly what you, our families, prefer.

However, we also know that we have to be flexible in the time of Covid. Student and staff safety is our first priority, and we will follow the guidance of local and state gathering restrictions.  As we have been since the outbreak, we will be flexible and prepared to make modifications as necessary.

Given that, if current gathering restrictions have not been lifted by January 8, we will move our classes and rehearsals online that first week, and then take it one week at a time after that. The goal is to move to in-person classes and rehearsals as soon as we safely and legally are able.

More than anything, we want to see our students smiling eyes and hear their beautiful voices in person. We are making every effort to make that happen. And for families who feel more comfortable being online, we have a selection of fully-online and online hybrid classes available this Spring – check them out!

There are still spots in most of our classes and shows, so don’t wait! Take a look at our incredible lineup and register before prices increase on December 26th! 

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all in January!
