At the Studio of Dance Arts, the safety and health of our dance families and instructors is of the utmost importance. Each student will receive our Studio Policies & Procedures and Health & Wellness Policy prior to registration, outlining our commitment to health, safety, and happiness for all of our dance family.

Please check our Facebook Page and your e-mail two hours before class time begins to see if we will be holding class in studio or virtually due to inclement weather. If more than one class during the season is cancelled due to inclement weather, make-up times will be available for these cancelled classes.
