KPSD NEWS - COVID-19 UPDATE
Here's a quick update on KPSD life as we watch the news and wait for the wonderful day when we can re-open our studios - we'll let you know as soon as we can.
We hope you're enjoying the classes with Candy, Hannah and Rachel and videos that our ex-students are preparing for us - it's great to see how far they've come and hopefully they are an inspiration to you all.
We think you're all doing incredibly well as we know ourselves how difficult this is and that you'd rather be at the Wellhouse or Zion with your friends and teachers (we would too!) - but you're doing a great job, don't forget that. You're inspiring the teachers with your mental strength and determination to keep up with your classes so that when we are back in the studio you won't have fallen behind and we can hit the ground dancing!!
We love seeing you all on the live Zoom screen - it's keeping us motivated and keeping our spirits up too when we see you smiling and enjoying your exercises.
I'm emailing all parents our timetable of classes on a weeky basis so just shout if you want more info or to ask me a question. katie@katiephilpott.co.uk
