We hope that you are all healthy and well! We are so excited to get back to dancing with you. But first, an update regarding this fall:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be significant and exciting changes in the coming year as a part of Joy of Motion\u2019s institutional commitment to give more emphasis to Black voices, dancers, and dance forms and to help set the organization up for a sustainable future. These changes will take shape in the form of our policies, programming, and strategic direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve used this summer as an opportunity for change and growth as we too are adapting to this new normal by making sure we have the right infrastructures in place to protect our students, families, teaching artists, and staff. We established <\/span>reopening committees<\/b><\/a> of staff, teaching artistis, and volunteers to assess and recommend policies and procedures to ensure that Joy of Motion is a safe, equitable, and brave space to work and dance. This reevaluation is essential for the sustainability of the organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep us all healthy and safe,<\/span> our traditional fall session of series classes for youth and adults will be broken out into shorter digital sessions. Joy of Motion will not be returning to in-person instruction before January of 2021 at the earliest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall Digital Session Dates<\/h2>\n

Fall Session 1:<\/b> September 8-October 25 \u2022 $120-$140
\n<\/span>Monday classes will be 6 weeks long & Tuesday-Sunday Classes will be 7 weeks long<\/span>
\n<\/span>Registration Will Open Soon!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fall Session 2: <\/b>October 26 – December 20 \u2022 $140
\n<\/span>All classes will be 7 weeks long, fall session 2 includes a one-week break for the Thanksgiving Holiday.<\/span>
\nRegistration Opens Mid-September
\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fall Break (Thanksgiving Week): <\/b>November 23 – November 29
\nNo series classes meet this week.<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance Class Session: <\/b>MORE INFORMATION COMING THIS WINTER! STAY TUNED!<\/span><\/p>\n

Prices are inclusive of a $25 non-refundable administrative processing fee.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

While we\u2019re online, we will be focusing on continuing to offer high-quality instruction in a variety of styles and levels for all ages. Though the quantity of classes offered may decrease, the diversity and quality of the classes will not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students who were previously a part of performing ensembles can expect to hear from us in the next few weeks about recommended classes for the fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adult drop-in classes will be announced soon!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Workshops, masterclasses, and special online events will be scheduled on an ongoing basis. Keep checking back for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reopening committees<\/b><\/a> have also been developing plans to help build the new Joy of Motion. As a part of that work, the Operations Committee has developed a phased reopening plan that puts the safety of the community first. This plan has been informed by: guidelines and laws from our local government and the CDC, industry-specific research & recommendations, and by our colleagues in the dance & fitness community. We have included a visual overview of the plan as well as broad descriptions of the phases below.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are hopeful for the future and know that together, we will get through this challenging time. Thank you so much for being a part of our community. We cannot wait to start dancing with you again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
