Robert Ivey Ballet Is Reopen
I hope you all are doing well and ready for the fall. This summer has been an unusual one. Even though the future still seems very uncertain, we want to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know that we can get through this all, especially if we are together.
We decided to add more hybrid classes to the schedule for those of you who are concerned about face to face classes ( see attachment ). The new zoom links will be emailed to you as soon as you register for classes and pay your tuition. You can now pay your tuition online on our website. There is a $25 registration fee( one per family ) that is due at the time of the registration. You can also pay it on our website. You can see the new schedule bellow. We will update the website soon. Please be patient with us.
Masks are mandatory for all face to face classes. We want you all to stay healthy and keep dancing :)
