ANNOUNCEMENTS
COVID-19 Changes
Beginning Tuesday, March 17th, in accordance with recommendations for non-essential businesses by NYS & NYC officials, some ALDEN MOVES programs will be suspended and others moved online. Please mark your calendars from our Wednesday, March 18th Parents Meeting from 7:30-8:00pm to read you in on how studio operations will proceed until we have the all-clear to re-open.
In a Nutshell:
Download the Zoom App: https://zoom.us/download
We will use Zoom, a meeting app for video conferencing, to live-stream classes. You will not need a Zoom account to "join a meeting" (for us, a class), but you will need the free app. You can do this on your phone, but students will be able to better see and perhaps "chat" with teachers using a tablet or computer. It may also help to attach your device to an outside speaker. You will need a link to join the class. Links will be found on a special page on our website. Parents will be e-mailed webpage details and links prior to the classes. Please be sure to update the contact info in your parent portal with the email address(es) who should have access.
Make-up Week: Tuesday, June 16th through Sunday, June 21st. Students may participate in as many classes as they are able to attend, but advance registration will be required.
Spring Break Make-up Classes TBD: Might run Monday, April 13th through Friday April 17th, based on studio re-opening date.
On behalf of our faculty and staff, we will miss you! While there is nothing like the in-person connection we enjoy through the arts, we are so grateful that so much of what we can do can be--albeit creatively--adjusted for in-home practice in circumstances like these. We know we are entering a challenging period for all, but we so appreciate the support this community has shown us, and we will do as much as we can to continue to support you and our students through the long days ahead.
Sincerely,
Alden, Brittany, & the outstanding ALDEN MOVES Dance Theater Staff
Beginning Tuesday, March 17th, in accordance with recommendations for non-essential businesses by NYS & NYC officials, some ALDEN MOVES programs will be suspended and others moved online. Please mark your calendars from our Wednesday, March 18th Parents Meeting from 7:30-8:00pm to read you in on how studio operations will proceed until we have the all-clear to re-open.
In a Nutshell:
- Adult Ballet--suspended until the studio reopens. Session will continue where we left off.
- Pilates--all classes cancelled. Will work on getting "Bite-size Workouts" on Instagram in next couple weeks.
- Toddler Tuesdays--suspended until the studio reopens. We will have more information on how we move forward during Wednesday's Parents Meeting. Please let us know if you would like to be included in live-streamed classes in place of a credit or refund. Registration will be off-line until the studio reopens. We will have hands full as classes move online so refunds will be issued all at once, when the studio reopens--by request only--and when we will know the total refund due.
- Kids Ballet, GET MOVING!, Theater, Hip Hop & Contemporary Classes--will be live-streamed and/or recorded starting tomorrow, March 17th, and available by your dancer's regular class time and until their next class time. Details to come.
- Daily Vitamins for Dancers (DVD's!)--short exercises or segments of class that students can do every day. Available by password at no additional charge to current students to do in between classes to maintain technique and strength (especially important for our Pointe ladies!!). Possibly available through a donation-based subscription to outside students as well, but we are still working on this. We hope current students will take advantage of these segments as we trouble-shoot live-streamed full classes this week. We will be filming some of these tomorrow and adding to them in the comings days and weeks. Stay tuned.
