July 6 - Launching our 34th Season!

Today is a great day!  We wanted you to know before we announced it to the general public!
Today is the day that we launch our 34th season! 

Things look a bit different and we have embraced them, adapted them and created a new website, protocols and systems that I believe will take us into the future with confidence.  We have a plan to ensure a happy, healthy and safe environment, programs and children.

Thanks to our amazing staff, faculty and families who proved we could do hard things, we are resilient and finished our 2020 season strong together!  Yes, we still have some things to complete, some training, exams, competition, & graduation celebrations we had hoped to have completed, and we will, but we are moving forward with our August Summer Intensive and Fall programs.

We have Safe Studio reopening guidelines and although things are still changing and being updated we are confidently launching our fall program with in-person classes with modifications if needed with updated Tech-enhanced studios. 

In order to follow the recommendations that we know at this point in time, we have attached our PDS Safer Studio ™ guidelines which I invite you to look at.  We will have smaller class sizes, and have designed a schedule with room to grow, change or adapt.  We have made the registration process simpler and have given our current families two weeks to pre-register for the limited spaces before opening up to the general public.

Things To Do:

1. New Website is launched today!  Please look at the PDS Safer Studio ™ Guidelines and the Safe Studios Ontario Guidelines, the Fall Schedule and the 2020/2021 Age Chart to see which class your child should be in.
2. Plan your schedule based on which level they were in last year and the age recommendation chart.
3. Anyone in the Intensive Level Programs should remain in the same level.
4. If you are unsure about which class please contact;               
   1. Ballet Department - Carolyn ([email protected])
   2. Jazz + Department - Katie ([email protected])
   3. Early Years and Modern Department - Lara ([email protected])
5. Registration for current families begins July 13.
6. New Families registration begins July 27.
7. As we know that there may be some hesitation to commit at this point  for a variety of reasons, we have simplified the process without paying your first month tuition to hold your spot.  You can reserve and hold your child's classes with the $40 Yearly Registration fee.  We hope that will ease the financial burden just a little.
8. Please Register and if the class is full, PLEASE put your name on the waitlist.  We hope that by September we will be able to open a few more spaces in each class, keeping in mind social distancing and smaller class sizes as recommended by Provincial guidelines at the time.  We also have space in our schedule to add additional classes where needed.
9. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us!

Thank you PDS Families, for working together to minimize risk, keep our staff and students safe, and keep our studio operational. We continue to follow the highest standards of care. 
Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate our PDS family everyday, we have missed your smiling happy faces and we are excited to see you in September if not before at our August Summer Dance!

Better Dancing Together!!
