Does anyone know what citydance will be doing? Would like to stay but will switch to Washington ballet if they don’t stay virtual.

I completely agree. We are switching to a more ethical studio.

Ours I think smaller classes and masks, some outdoor classes and also a virtual option. That’s what they are doing this summer.

Our studio is mixing Both virtual and in person

- 4 students per class in person. Masked entire time, (Dancers and teachers) separate doors to enter and exit. Other students participating through zoom. Extensive cleaning between classes

7 and under are all still on zoom. The older girls are signing up for slots to come in the studio if they choose too.

My DD's school, a pre-pro not in DMV area, is planning for a hybrid model in order to get class sizes down to socially distance. Each pod will be one week in studio, one week zoom. Everyone will wear masks. Teachers will not touch the students but just give verbal corrections. Cleaning between classes.

Ours is planning to do small classes, keep students apart by marking out a circle for each dancer, and clean heavily between each session. Some parents are considering it but I just can't see my 6 year old staying inside her circle, and it seems like an unnecessary risk. I hope they don't go bankrupt...

Bankruptcy is what a lot of them will be doing, I suspect.

Are you talking about private dance schools, or are there public dance schools in VA I don't know about?

If private, this probably belongs in the Classes, Workshops, Camps, and Playgroups forum.

Open with smaller classes and masks? Stay virtual?
