❗Covid-19 Further Update.❗
Unfortunately we are going to postpone ballet classes for the time being. Carryduff Presbyterian has taken the decision to close their halls to all organisations to minimize the spread of Covid-19 in the community.
As this is a very uncertain time we cannot say how long classes will be postponed for but classes will be made up at another time as soon as it is safe to do so. If this situation goes on for months as opposed to weeks we will look into l...ive streaming classes to keep your ballerinas occupied at home!
We are taking advice from the RAD with regards to ballet exams in May/June. As soon as we know more about the situation we will be in touch.
Please like and/or comment on this post so we know you have seen it, we will then message anyone who hasn't seen it separately.
In the meantime keep dancing (it is a great stress reliever!!) and we hope you all stay safe. 😘😘🩰🩰

❗Covid-19 Update.❗
We are following the recommendations from the government and taking advice from the Royal Academy of Dance with regards to Covid-19.
Classes will continue for the moment, if and when schools in Northern Ireland close then we will also close.
... In the meantime please adhere to the following guidelines:
▪️Ballet students should wash their hands before and after class.
▪️ If students or parents are feeling unwell please consider missing classes for a few weeks. Any missed classes can be made up at another time.
The situation is changing on an hourly basis and we will keep up as best we can. The health and safety of our ballet students and their families is of paramount importance to us. ❤️❤️
