Welcome to Summer Dance Camps 2021!
Please have your child come to class in ballet attire daily and a bag with the items listed below for Flamenco, hiphop and contemporary. We will start each class with ballet then after a small rest and snack during our ballet history/story time we will study the different dancing art forms. Please have your children bring the following items with in their bags daily. Please do your best to be on time so we can start promptly. To ensure your children's items don't get lost please label the clothing items with your child's name and pack items they can put on without much assistance.
- I need 1 filled out Covid Safety questionnaire per family for the duration of the camp. Covid Safety Form I also need a photo release
-A well fitting mask-(5 layers preferred, example link below) This is very important, and I will notify you if the mask moves too much during class and slips below the nose. Cloth masks tend to get wet during class and aren’t as effective. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NCS9N6B/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glt_fabc_2PY5ZC1FTWQ0H4537NPV
-A water bottle and small, nutritious, low mess, snack
-a yoga mat, any floor work will be done on our own mats to reduce the spread of germs
-Please have your children wear clothing over their ballet clothes upon arrival and easy slip off shoes. Ballet shoes are to be worn only in the studio.
-ballet attire: see ballet dress code on Student Portal home page
-Flamenco attire: Female or male Character shoes- low heel with strap or tap shoes. A long skirt (usually worn by the girls) or a vest (usually worn by the boys)
*I have many pairs of tap shoes I can loan out for the week. Please let me know what size you need and I'll let you know if I have a pair available to borrow.
-hip hop: sneakers, shorts and a fun t-shirt.
The Leotard located on MLK has everything you need for your little dancer. Mention my name (Katarina Svetlova) for a 10% discount. Some items may need to be ordered. Please plan with enough time for class items to ship and be ready for camp.
Enter and Exit Protocol:
-I will meet your dancers on Dekum street on the sidewalk. Please do not block the pub entrance. Please practice social distancing outside of the ballroom. Just the students will go up the side stairs to the ballroom with me. If you have a child that might need extra care and need you during class please stay close by and I will text the number on your covid form to come assist your child if needed.
-I will take everyones temperature and ask them to sanitize their hands before entering the ballroom.
-They will remain socially distanced and masked during class except for water and snack breaks. Please inform me if they are in a pod with any other student in the class.
-At the end of our class time please wait for your children on Dekum Street. I will dismiss them and escort them out. I will have them let me know that they see a trusted adult before they leave. It will be important to have you there as on-time as possible.
-Please discuss this plan with your children so they are prepared, informed and ready for our first class!! :)
*Due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, if the county mandates closures that impact our classes I will attempt to adjust our classes in order to complete the series. In the event that this is not possible, we will complete the series via Zoom and I will not be able to offer refunds.
