KPSD NEWS - Back at the barre
We're absolutely delighted to be back in the studio and 'at the barre' after four long months of closure due to the Covid-19 lockdown - although we've kept our students busy with great online classes and maintained their learning, flexibility, social interaction and kept them doing what they love - dancing!
We're now busy with our special post-lockdown summer workshops and looking forward to our summer school later in August.
In September we hope to be up-and-running with a full timetable of syllabus and non-syllabus classes and of course looking forward to a School year which will include both the Choreographic Cup and our fabulous main show in the same year for the first time - it's going to be a busy one!!!
Of course, we are abiding by strict guidelines and following Government advice. The health, safety and well-being of our students and staff is paramount and we have stringent measures in place around our studios. These include strict regulations around class arrival and departure, how classes are conducted to maintain social distancing and cleaning routines, including our 'fogging machine'.
