STDA Lockdown 2.0

Posted on
Dear Parents & Pupils.

Sorry for the delay in getting in touch with you all but there has been lots of things to sort out ready for STDA Zoom to begin.

Lessons will start on Monday 9th November on Zoom.
We are aware some of you are familiar with zoom but some are not, therefore We will be running a Zoom taster on Sunday 8th for any one to attend to try it out.

Please create a zoom account – if you haven’t got one.
Zoom can be used on a computer or tablet/iPad or phone depending on what works best for each individual.

Sunday 8th November  – Zoom Tester.
3.00pm – 9 years and under
3.30pm – 10-12 years
4.00pm – 13 years and over

All Zoom classes will be using the same meeting ID and Password 
Please contact a member of staff if you have not received an email with this information on.

Please be prompt logging in
(But not before the time stated  – or you will join another class and have to re- join)
Where children attend consecutive lessons you will have to join the meeting again to start new lesson.

Once joined the meeting please make sure you are muted so background noise doesn’t interfere with the lesson. If a pupil wants to ask a question – it can be put in the chat or un-mute your computer to ask.

Please see the attached timetable for zoom as well as some helpful hints.
Exams:

After many discussions with the ISTD we have had to make the following decisions regarding exams.

Ballet exams that were due on the 8th November have been postponed. 
These will now take place Sunday 6th December (lockdown depending)
We know this is not ideal but as the lockdown is only scheduled to be 4 weeks long the ISTD will not refund entrance fees!
We encourage pupils to attend their classes on zoom to remain up to date with their classwork and then exam coaching will run when lockdown is released prior to the exams.

Tap & Modern exams from end of November / beginning of December are cancelled. 
We feel despite doing online zoom classes they will not be as prepared as we would like. These pupils will now move up to the next grade.
With the talk of lockdown we did not send in fees to the ISTD so for anyone that had already paid please contact us with the following details for a refund.
Name on account
Sort Code
Account Number
Thank you for your patience and support at what is a strange time for us all.

Please contact us for any more information or questions

Stay Safe

November lockdown 2020

Posted on
We are temporarily closed!
Emails have been sent out this morning.
Please check your emails & keep up to date with our website & social media pages for further information.
Dear Parents & Pupils

Sadly due to the governments decision we are having to close the studio during this lockdown. This obviously is with IMMEDIATE effect. 

We are so disappointed but it is for everybody’s safety. 

Exams are not able to run and we are in contact with the ISTD about what the next steps are with them. 

We propose to run as many classes as we can over zoom for the next 4 weeks until we can get back into the studio. 
While we are aware this is not ideal – at least the children will be able to keep up something and hopefully it will be a little bit of normality in their lives. 

Over the next few days we will be working to sort out a zoom timetable and we will be in touch with further information when we have it. 

Please check your emails, as well as our website & social media pages for further updates.

Take care and stay safe.

Studio re-opens after lockdown!

Posted on

We are so very pleased to be back in the studios after lockdown and are working hard to ensure that the studios follow strict COVID guidelines.

Here are some of the precautions we are using to protect the STDA family:

  • Temperature checks
  • Social distancing in studios & waiting areas
  • Masks in communal areas for 12yrs and over
  • Regular cleaning  – daily and in-between classes.
  • Hand sanitiser stations
  • Reduced foot fall and capacity in studio – no parents where possible & gaps between classes.

We are thrilled to have had such positive feedback from parents and pupils in the steps taken to make the return to dance as safe as we can.

Exam sessions start running from this weekend – all with COVID secure measures in place.

A busy term but so good to see all the children back and working hard!

Re-opening update

Posted on

Dear Parents & Pupils of STDA

We hope you are all safe & well.

Thankyou to everyone who has sent us messages about re-opening: we are so looking forward to welcoming all the children back to dancing. 

Sadly after the government announcement this week, we are unable to open at the start of July as hoped. The ISTD are sending us regular updates and correspondence about procedures for opening which we will follow in order to keep everyone as safe as possible! 

We are obviously disappointed not to be allowed to open but have to follow the advice and guidance we are given. Information will be emailed out as soon as we know anything else. 

Please feel free to message us for any other details or queries. 

Many Thanks 
Miss Taylor & Miss Kate
