First Week of Dance!

Nutmegs • Sep 28, 2020

Welcome Back!

I just wanted to check in with a few reminders for the year. Things might look a bit different, and we are definitely going to have to work and adapt as a team more than ever, but, I have no doubt that we will forge ahead like we always do, as a family, and have an incredible year of community, and dance!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all.

xo, Meg

~ Here is the link to our Covid 19 Protocols: Please look over before dance begins!

A few quick reminders...

~ When dancers arrive to the studio, they should enter the door where their class is being held. If they are coming into the yoga studio, they should put their belongings in the yoga hallway cubbies. If they're entering into the lobby for class in the wood studio, their belongings should go into the lobby cubbies. If they're entering the marley studio, their belongings should go in the dressing room cubbies. Please - no personal items on the floor. And, please, dancers - leave cell phones with your belongings, and do not bring into the dance space. Also, please remove shoes before entering the studio.

~ Once your dancer has entered, they should either use our hand sanitizer, or, wash hands in the bathroom, please.

~ No food or drink, besides water, in the studio at this time. Thank you for understanding. (If dancers need to have a snack, we ask that they please step outside to do so.)

~ Teachers will check in with dancers as they arrive to be sure they are feeling well. Please understand - if a dancer is presenting any symptoms, we will take their temperature. If they have a fever, we will have to ask parents to bring them home. The best thing you can do, if your dancer is experiencing any symptoms of illness, is please keep them home, for their safety, as well as everyone at the studio. Thank you so much.

~ If your dancer has to miss class due to illness, or needing to stay home, please feel free to reach out to your class teacher, and ask them to film class. Then, they will post in your classes' facebook group. If you do not have a facebook account, you can create one for free. You do not need to add any photos, personal info, etc, all you need to do is have an account to join the group(s). It would be great if you could go ahead and join any of your dancer's class groups now, as this will be the easiest way for your teacher to communicate to their classes directly. Check here for list of Facebook Groups

~ Please join our private Nutmeg's group, as well: Private Nutmegs Group

~ At this time, all dancers should wear face coverings when in the studio. The only students exempt from this policy are our pre-school classes: Beginning Dance, and Pre-Ballet. For those classes, we are continuing to follow the State of MA Early Childhood Education and Childcare recommendation, that this should be a decision parents make for their pre-school aged child. Teachers will be wearing face coverings for all classes.

~ Parents - we ask that you please drop your dancer off at the studio, or, wait outside during their class, at this time. Unfortunately, due to distancing requirements, and capacity limitations, we are not able to have additional people in the lobby during classes. Thank you so much for understanding!

~ Please look over what your dancer should wear to class. If they don't have everything this week, it's not a big deal at all, but please be sure they come prepared over the next few weeks. Reach out if you have any questions, or if there's anything we can help with. Read more on Class Attire

~ Please check out, and save, this list. Here, you will find which studio your dancer's classes are in, contact information for their teachers, and the link to their classes' facebook group, as well.

Other than that...we are just SO happy to have you back, and cannot wait to get back to dancing with all of you.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, so much, for being with us this year!

xo, Nutmeg

Hi, everyone. Please read all of the information below in regards to ticket sales. If you have any questions, please email me at NutmegsDance@gmail.com, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

There is no limit on how many tickets a family can purchase this year, however, there are no refunds, exchanges, or credits, so please, only purchase what you are certain you would like. ~ All tickets are $16.00 ~ Seating is reserved, so each ticket will have a specific seat. (Just a note to say I often watch from the sound booth in the very back of theauditorium, and the view is awesome, you do not need to be super close to have a really great view.) ~ Due to the East Granby's fire code, there is no standing in the auditorium, at anytime. Everyone that enters the auditorium must have a ticket/seat, thank you for understanding. ~ Handicapped spaces are available. These seats will be marked in purple, rather than red. These spots do not have a chair, they are only for wheel chairs - thank you! ~ When you arrive, you will show your downloaded/printed ticket, or, pull up your digital ticket on a mobile device. We can scan either way.Please be sure you have your correct ticket for the correct performance, i.e. a ticket for the 2:00 pm show will not scan for the 6:00 pm show. ~ There will be no ticket sales at the door. Tickets need to be purchased online. Tickets can be purchased up until 30 minutes into the show. Please let your family and friends know, thank you. ~ Parents are not required to watch all shows from the audience. You may decide to attend 1, or all 3 shows, it is totally your choice. However - please note that parents will need a ticket for any show they plan to watch from the audience. Dancer Show Policies (We realize all kiddos are different, so if you have any concerns about your dancer and what they do during the show, please just reach out to me.) ~ Dancers performing in the show do not need a ticket, unless you would like your young dancer (ages 8 and under) to come sit and watch the show with you after they’ve performed, and have their own seat. (If they sit on your lap, no need for a ticket.) ~ Dancers ages 9 and over will not come out into the audience at all during the show, they will stay back stage for the entire show, and bow with the company at the end of the show. ~ For dancers 8 and younger, there are a few options: ~ If their family is watching the show, they can be picked up backstage after they dance, and go to sit with their family (on a lap, or with a ticket/seat.) If they would like to bow at the end of the show, a family member should get them backstage to line up at least 2 numbers before the last dance. ~ If their family is not watching the show, they may be picked up backstage and brought home when they are done dancing, or, a female parent or guardian can stay backstage with them for the show so that they can bow at the end of the show.
