HEALTH AND SAFETY
Welcome! In order to keep our dancers DANCING, we have made a few changes! Your Dancer's enrollment at the Turning Pointe includes in-person classes and Zoom classes (if needed). Because of current health conditions, we are ready to teach your dancer in whatever format is necessary! We have equipped our studio with 54" TV monitors, high speed wifi and cameras for our dancers and spectators. We will dance LIVE at the studio and switch to full Zoom if/when health concerns warrant. Please read our safety policies. Masks are Required at this time but I will constantly monitor the health and safety guidelines by our local health authorities and the CDC and make adjustments when necessary. We have taken all precautions so that we can provide a fun, healthy and rewarding dance experience. It is time to get moving folks, we can do this!!!

CLASS PLACEMENT
Returning Students: The enrollment information you received in the mail is marked with the correct level for your dancer(s).
New Students: Please contact me for placement advice. As always, I reserve the right to bump dancers to a higher level during the season, if needed.
The placement for your dancer is based on over 50 years of training and experience. Placing your dancer at the correct level and in the correct class is absolutely in His/Her best interest and my top priority. I understand that as a dancer's level changes, it can be difficult to be separated from special friends however, your dancer's classmates will change many times during their dance career and I guarantee that your dancer will have friends and fun in any and all classes at the Turning Pointe. We have awesome kids. As always, I am happy to discuss your dancer's progress with you.
