To all of my Friends and Families at SRDA,
I hope you are all taking the time with your loved ones in this very trying time. We had our last class for spring break on March 15th and everyone’s lives has certainly changed since then. It has been very hard to try to measure how to proceed with our second term at SRDA. Last week the media made it look like we could be done in a few weeks- but now it looks more probable it will take longer.
I have decided to cancel second term for this season - this was such a hard decision. But I feel that it is for the best. I will truly miss all of students, teachers and families each week. The studio is my family. Creating a family affordable business for the community has been something so close to my heart.
Payments:
This is a very hard scenario for studios/gyms etc. Because the world has never been in a situation of a stand still its very hard how to manage the situation. For myself I can’t continue to bill families to pay for the fees for the remaining of the term - it just doesn’t feel right. I will be cancelling April’s fees in the next few days.
The studio will continue to still have to pay bills even though we are not allowed to work. If you are wanting to support the studio by continuing payments at any installment, your support means more than anything. Please let me know if you do not want me to cancel your plans.

Ballet and Jazz Performance Teams and Competitive Solos:
We have been told that competitions are being postponed to July. In the next few weeks we will make a decision.
I am hoping to have programs for the summer. I will let families know when things look clearer.
I look forward to seeing you all again.
