fourisenough Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) DD has chosen to attend Chautauqua for this summer. They made it easy by offering a generous scholarship. Since it was already the most affordable program we were looking at AND they offer many performance opportunities, it seems like a perfect fit for her needs for this summer. Bring on the UN-air-conditioned dorms and 11-hour days! Edited February 6, 2020 by fourisenough DD, not DS.

mommyoffive Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Is anyone getting nervous about the Corona Virus and summer SIs?

kiwik Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 On 1/20/2020 at 1:26 AM, kiwik said: Just rereading. We made it through. I have found one dance place where you can either enrol in an exam class (who don't do a show) or a open class (they do a show and practice in class). They still only have one class a week but dancing for him is PE and discipline not becoming a dancer. I think two would be better as my experience is that is the minimum to make progress but it is what it is. The way it is structured all the ballet is one night, all the tap the next etc so doing a lower level class wouldn't help. Anyway he is going to trial a couple of classes and see what he thinks of the teacher. He did love the show though but it was so draining. But it was a dreadful fit for a child with ASD so we will stick with the show and hope it is easier this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Our school is still running classes for now. It's a really small school so I think it would be fine to continue with classes even if the schools close (which they haven't yet). Just isn't that many people to be exposed to. I'm more concerned about our martial arts dojo--lots more people and the owners so far are not taking coronavirus at all seriously. They've got a tournament in a couple of weeks as well. And we do have a handful of coronavirus cases in our area. Saint Patrick's Day performances coming up!

Farrar Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We're still running. They are doing deep cleaning and wiping the barres and doors between absolutely every class. They used to wipe everything daily and deep clean weekly, so that's a change. There is at least one student who was there after possible exposure, but looks like she did not get it. My dancer is really worried. This is a pretty key age for him. He can't easily afford to be off dance for several months. Did folks see that SAB shut down for more than a month starting this week? PNB is also closed. In some ideal world, we would shut up shop for all the kids below level 4 for sure and maybe below level 6. Let the top level and the trainees keep dancing until they shut down the company. The other kids have a longer frame of time to get back in shape if they end up taking a break. These kids who are 16 and up are on the cusp of companies and so forth. If they stop, they're screwed. Company performances of Swan Lake will go on until the Kennedy Center says they're shut down. But I think that may happen, honestly. It's very bad for the financial health of the company. Of course, I say all that but I'm also like, cancel everything. Shut it all down. Flatten the curve. So. I do get it. I just feel for my kid and his professional goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackermom Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We have had about a dozen Irish dance performances cancelled. Not too surprising under the circumstances. The nursing homes were the first to cancel. My dancer (15) is really hoping that classes continue despite this round of performances not happening, but we haven't heard anything from the school about. There is a class scheduled for tonight. We will see. The kid and I both have asthma, which makes it more worrisome. I have been brainstorming about how to make/find an acceptable training area if classes are cancelled. As I write this, I think I want the school to announce a break so I don't have to be the bad guy, being the one to keep my kid home. The world championship competition is scheduled for early next month, in Dublin, but is very likely to be cancelled or postponed. So far they just announced that they will make an announcement by this weekend. We would not be going, my dancer is not at that level, but more than a dozen kids at the school had been planning to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Starting to worry about DS's competition season. We have two regionals and nationals in June that we're wondering if we'll be going. So far the studio is business as normal, but we started hearing rumors this week of different competition companies making adjustments. AFAIK, no one has actually cancelled any yet, but I feel like we're just getting going with Covid closures and cancellations. DD comes home for spring break on Friday indefinitely. They extended spring break through to a second week and after that they can expect online classes. No clue what that means for all the performing arts. In one e-mail they're discussing the next few weeks and then we see an add for a performance coming up in two weeks. Not sure those performances can happen if no one is on campus... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackermom Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The organizers for the CLRG Irish worlds event have posted an update that basically says they are waiting on an official govt action that requires them to cancel, in order to ensure people have a better case for refunds on flights and hotels, etc, and so the organization can avoid having to voluntarily renege on its contracts. The emails about local St Patrick's Day cancellations keep coming in. The latest is a church event. After all the nursing homes cancelled, next came parades, union halls, a senior social center, and libraries. I think the only ones left on the schedule are bars and the Ancient Order of Hibernians dinner. Last year my kid ended up with an ankle fracture during the first regular dance class right after all the St Patrick's Day events, so maybe not doing 15+ performances on random crappy floors over the course of 2 weeks is a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Posted on SAB website , Spring Break Extension Announcement The School of American Ballet will be implementing an extended Spring Break beginning the week of March 15 for all Winter Term students. Classes are scheduled to resume at the end of the previously scheduled Spring Break on April 20. During this time frame, the school’s onsite residence hall will close with all resident students returning home. There are no pending or confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the SAB community at this time. SAB is taking this step out of an abundance of caution given the continued spread of the virus in the New York metropolitan area. During the March 15-April 19 Spring Break, SAB’s administrative offices will remain open, with staff working both remotely and onsite. Additional programming, such as Spring Auditions for 6-10 year olds, will remain on our schedule during this period, although we will continuously review our plans in light of current events. Company Auditions for Ballet West, Ballet Austin, State Street Ballet, and Los Angeles Ballet remain on our rental schedule, and no changes are planned for SAB’s summer programs taking place in late June, July and August.

I appreciate your question about the schools measures around the coronavirus and understand your concern. We’ve been monitoring the news closely and while we do not anticipate cancellation of any of our summer programs, if such an unlikely event were to occur we would of course refund the fees you have paid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachermom2834 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 My 11 yo dd is just a recreational dancer but somehow, this spring, she has ended up involved with three studios/ productions. Only one of the three has canceled. One is a weekend company that brings together students from studios all around to put on two shows a year. They are working on this year’s show which is still scheduled for April 4. They have not cancelled but I really think they will end up having to cancel the whole thing. I feel like our risk is small. Dd is only there one hour a week and she should be able to wash up well and we wouldn’t hang around. I’d stay in the car. But I do wish they would just cancel. Our area is not hard hit but of course I think it is everywhere. We are not high risk but I am very aware of our ability to spread it. But- if she skips out she will likely not be able to be cast again in this company. So while the activity doesn’t seem worth it, it is hard to just quit. Another studio she is involved with is a tiny start up studio. Maybe less than 20 kids total and my dd takes a private lesson. Just her and the teacher. The teacher is assuring all kinds of sanitation between classes and it is very possible to stay six feet apart. We don’t even see any other people going in and out. I feel comfortable continuing this and I’m pretty sure the studio would go under if she had to close for awhile. So we’ll continue this as long as we are well and her teacher is. The other studio is huge. They have cancelled for a week (even though schools are cancelled for the next two) and they say they will re-evaluate every week. I expect them just to stay shut down. No idea what that means for all the recital /costume fees already paid and ordered. I’m glad this one closed. Hundreds of people in and out and a large percentage of kids are brought by their grandparents. But, poor dd was supposed to test for pointe shoes this week and has been counting down the days. So that probably won’t happen this year now. In the scheme of what our family has lost in all these closures the pointe shoes is the least of it but of course it is sad for dd. Dance is about the only thing we are involved in that hasn’t completely shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackermom Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 We got an email reminder that dance class was still happening this weekend, despite all the St Patrick's Day show cancellations, and then a couple hours later we got another email telling us that we would not have class after all, this week or next, and stay tuned for updates. The school has class in about a dozen locations throughout the week, but none are owned by the school, and most of the locations are being closed down (church halls, school gyms, etc). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 DS is at class today for the last time for a while. The studio will be closed at the end of business today for two weeks. Right now the tentative back-to-class date is the 30th. We had a spring break coming up, so they just decided to add to it and start it a week early. Though, usually over spring break they have open pilates/technique drop in classes, and this time there will be none. Over the next few days we're cleaning up the basement so the kids have a place to dance and keep limber. It needs to warm up outside though because DS cannot work on his leaps and turns in the house. We don't have ceilings high enough for that! Our competition scheduled for the first weekend in April is still on the schedule, however, the company has cancelled their events for the month of March and has said they are waiting to make a determination about April until some time has passes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that her studio has closed, she is really wishing that she could invite her classmates over to do class, but I won’t allow it because we are following strict isolation rules. 🙁 I feel badly about it, but it doesn’t seem advisable to allow it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackermom Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 There were lots of virtual St Patrick's Day shows posted online today. At least one kid from our school danced in the driveway of a nursing home, for the benefit of a grandparent inside. Our Irish dance school urged us not to get the kids together outside of dance class. Instead, they are putting together an online video library of the school's senior dancers performing various steps for everyone to use at home. Earlier this year they developed a pretty comprehensive fitness routine for the kids to do in and out of class (jump-roping, etc), and they provided handouts that they can use. Also, the teacher is requesting that we send her 2-3 short videos from at-home practice and she will provide feedback. We don't have a proper dance area really, but my 15yo is dancing wherever. Like today, outside the laundry room in our condo complex. We also retrieved a piece of shower pan liner from storage. It is not quite as good as marley, but is not bad as a top layer to roll out on top of a wood floor and cost about $30 for a 5-8 piece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailaena Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 3 hours ago, mommyoffive said: Great idea. Let us know how it works out. The mid-level Studio by our house is doing zoom lessons and they started immediately after closing. DS was in the first class to have an online class and it turned out awesome - even with the class being full of 3/4-year olds. They said in an email that for older students it will be a ton of basic technique and conditioning and stretching. the teacher could see all of the students, they students could see the teacher, there was two-way talking available and I think it would be a good way for regular classes to keep in shape - especially if the teacher already knows the kids and knows how to correct them Idk, my opinion Interesting to me that the “big, fancy” studio where ds takes ballet is just straight letting everybody under level 3 take three weeks off before they decide. I’m not complaining as it fits in with their general mentality and style, just interesting to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone thinking that they are going to go on this summer? I have no clue what to do. Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulubelle Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Today we got a last minute reminder of travel insurance sign up. We are not getting it. It states that if the school cancels you get the money back. If you cancel you do not. I plan to pay until they tell us it isn’t going to happen.

mommyoffive Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Our ballet school just closed for the rest of this school year. I knew they were not going back, but it just makes it so dang sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
