`Hello Dance Families,

Our new Zoom schedule starts tomorrow - Friday, November 27! Teachers are excited to see their dancers online. We are eager to continue training and working on choreography.
Please read carefully through these new important steps for accessing your classes. Classes on Zoom are different this time around because there will be up to 4 classes running at the same time. There are now 4 separate “online studios.

1. Check the NEW online schedule to find out which online studios your classes are in each day. Some dancers will have to visit multiple online studios per day. 
2. Join to your studio Zoom meeting before your class time starts:
   • Studio A - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3553430623
   • Studio B - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6498160181  
   • Studio C - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9183654377  
   • Studio D - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5034650879 
3. Dancers need to be admitted into the room. Please set your screen name appropriately so that the teachers can admit you.
4. Attendance - We will be taking attendance for every class. Please be on time!
5. Choreography - Teachers will be continuing choreography for competitive group classes. We want to make sure our dancers stay caught up with their training, and are prepared for competitions.
6. Choreography classes will be recorded for up to 24 hours only. There is not enough space in our cloud to record all of our classes, so Stretch, Ballet Tech, Acro and Conditioning classes will not be recorded.

It is very important to us that we keep our dancers excited and engaged! We are grateful to have technology that allows us to connect with our dancers and provide quality lessons.

We will continue to re-evaluate on a daily basis. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. See you online!

Hello Dance Families,

Daily online technique classes will be offered to our dancers through Zoom. Please see schedule below of our online classes being offered.  We encourage all dancers to take as many of these live classes as possible to keep up their training.  Dancers are welcome to join other genre's of classes that they are not normally registered in, as long it is within the appropriate age/level.

Hello Dance Families,
I have attached the new Tentative Schedule for the 2020-2021 season. Dancers with multiple classes will stay in the same studio. There is now time in between groupings for sanitizing. Some groups have been adjusted so that dancers and staff can fit in the studios safely. Class sizes are capped specific to each studio. Dancers will be physically distanced at all times during class with the floors marked to keep each dancer in their own spacing. Masks are not required during lessons, but masks will be required for entering/exiting the studios, in the lobby, and to and from the bathrooms. The lobby will remain closed. Please read through our new SBS Policies and Procedures - this will be updated on an ongoing basis. 
 
Dancers age 6yrs and up - Dancers will use each studios external door to enter and exit.  If a dancer has a break between classes, we will allow them to use the lobby with restrictions. Dancers who have classes in different studios will use the lobby to move between rooms. 
Technique/Choreography/Costumes - We will be focusing mainly on technique during the month of September. Choreography may be taught, but without any formation work because the dancers must remain in their marked spaces, physically distanced. We are hopeful that competitions will happen in the spring, and we will be preparing for these performances. Choreography with formation work may be possible at a later time with dancers wearing masks. Because dancers are advancing levels and each grouping has changed, routines will be re-choreographed and some teachers will also be changing songs. We will re-use costumes or sell/trade between groups as much as possible.  
PRESCHOOL – A parent and their dancer can use the lobby to enter and exit for drop-off and pick-up. We have a system in place to ensure physical distancing can be maintained and will emaiL you regarding these procedures. Please log in to your account for updated class times.  
Saturday Lines (Musical Theatre, Hip-hip Line, Lyrical Line) – HYBRID CLASSES – We will split these classes into 2 groupings, both groupings learning the same routine, but alternate between each grouping either coming to the studio for in person lessons vs taking the class online. 
Conditioning 8-11- HYBRID CLASS – We will split this classes into 2 groupings. Each grouping will alternate between either coming to the studio for in person lessons vs taking the class online.
 
Extreme Team– New Groupings! Dancers have been grouped together by age.
 
CHECK YOUR NEW SCHEDULE - Please log in and check your accounts to see your new class times and teachers. If there are any conflicts or questions please email info@stepbystepdance.ca as soon as possible.
 
First day of class is Saturday, September 12. 
 
Thank you again for your patience and support as we navigate into our new fall season. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We will re-evaluate our plan on a month to month basis. We look forward to seeing all of our dancers back in classes!
