Dear Parent(s) / Student(s);

​

We treasure the success and unparalleled experience in Dance Education in virtual dimensions. But this would not have been possible without the confidence and support of our parents and students; our sincere gratitude to all!

As recently announced, Singapore will move into Phase 2 from 19th June. In light with this pronouncement and following MOH’s extra-precautionary measures, we are happy to announce that we are prepared to start our regular classes at the studio from 19th June 2020, Friday. Your child’s regular class schedule remains the same.

Rest assured that we will continue to strictly implement our extra-precautionary measures. Please refer to the pointers below on what will happen starting 19th June 2020.

Meanwhile, we must all adjust our expectations, lifestyles and norms, as we are not going back to the way things were before COVID-19. Let us continue to stay disciplined and vigilant, and not let all government efforts go to waste.
