Covid-19 Update
Masks are currently required in the Schauer Arts Center for participants 5 years and older, in keeping with local health and CDC recommendations. For dancers, we recommend a surgical-style mask that stays securely in place. Older dancers are encouraged to bring an extra mask so they can switch to a fresh one during their mid-class break.
