Hi Classic Tap families,
These past several days have been an absolute whirlwind for us all. It's astonishing to be witness to everything going on in our world right now and at least for me, I wonder, "Is this really happening?" Regardless of any opinions, it's safe to say that the spread and hype surrounding COVID-19 has affected us all in many ways. I've found myself looking for something positive each day to hold on to when everything we're surrounded by right now seems to be negative. However, I've seen so much love and support being shown around our community that absolutely warms my heart. Please continue to support those in need who are trying to navigate this tough time while living without what so many of us are so lucky to have.
After MUCH deliberation and weighing all options, I feel it best to close the studio this week (3/16 - 3/21). My initial feeling was to continue on with our normal schedule while implementing new and consistent disinfecting procedures and strong hand washing/hygiene standards; however, things are changing almost hourly and its important to remember that health and safety must always be our #1 concern. There are several people in our lives with compromised immune systems including several of our own dancers and their family members, and I would never want to be a contributing factor in spreading this virus to anyone, let alone our nearest and dearest.
I encourage all of our CT dance families to pay it forward over these next 2 weeks (which includes our already scheduled Spring Break of 3/23-28). Drop off a meal with someone in need, take food to our local food bank, and share any supplies you may have an over abundance of. I truly believe that This Too Shall Pass as long as we all play our part!
We will be planning make-up lessons for all missed lessons this week and if any further decisions need to be made regarding closures, I will email & post updates ASAP.
I appreciate your understanding during this time. Trust me.....being a small business in Oregon and LOVING what I do have made this very tough, but I believe it's necessary. And don't forget to - - - KEEP DANCING!!!
And I have a way to make sure that happens with our very own Classic Tap.........
