To keep everyone healthy, we’ve adopted additional safety procedures. Essentially, everyone must be fully vaccinated for COVID and boosted, and wear a mask. Please bring your own water bottle. Please review our COVID protocol for more points. We share your frustration with these additional measures, but we would rather err on the side of caution than risk our dancers’ health.
