*** STUDIO CLOSURE ***
Dear S1D2 Families,
It is with great sadness that, S1D2 will close for the next 2 weeks starting today, March 13th as we now master thru a HUGE change within the SHOWCASE dates due to the college being closed during the month of APRIL. As the news of the Coronavirus has taken over the last several weeks and is now present in our country we feel it best now that we have major replanning and reworking to do to put on this SHOW. I have been proudly humbled that my staff and I could provide a place for our students to come and get away from the worry and stress and try to focus on our spring showcase and the excitement that it leads up to it for our dance family. We want to work thru this together as safely and communicatively as possible.
As the days move forward...all I can say is THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Our students are very much our family, and my staff and I will do everything possible to make sure UNSTOPPABLE and WANDERLUST happens. I believe this theme was truly chosen for a reason. WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE .....S1D2 is UNSTOPPABLE.... Couple of EXTREMELY Important things as we continue to plan ahead...as now there are major changes. We ask that you please check your email for details and for all online class information.
Thank you for your support, love and investment at S1D2 ✨ as we strive to move forward with these major changes!
