Dear Families,

To say that we have missed seeing all of your dancers in person is an understatement. The past few months have been challenging for our small, family business, but we never lost hope that we would all be reunited in our gorgeous, brand-new studio once again. For families who were enrolled in our winter/spring session, we danced together in over 400 (!) on-demand and live virtual classes throughout our physical closure. We met each other online every single day. THANK YOU for your support. We can never say that enough.

DWMR is proud to to be opening both of our studios in Tribeca and the Upper West Side studio for limited in-person classes this Fall following careful health and safety guidelines.

We'll be offering multiple ways to dance with us this fall...

• In-Studio: Classes are capped at 4-6 dancers, depending on studio size and class level. View our Tribeca and Upper West Side schedules and learn more about dancing with us in The Hamptons.
  
  
• DWMR at Home Virtual Classes: We will continue to provide virtual classes for those who feel more comfortable dancing at home. Classes will be held on Zoom and, in most cases, will be a LIVE BROADCAST of our live in-studio classes, straight from our Tribeca studio—the next best thing to being in our studio! Virtual classes begin Sept. 14 and are now enrolling!
  
  
• Pod classes: Bring your pod to DWMR! If you have a pre-formed pod and would like to do an in-studio class, please submit your interest here and we will happily add your pod to our in-studio schedule as space allows.
  
  
• DWMR To Go: We come to you! As our schedule allows, DWMR instructors will come to you for 1:1 and small-group classes—outside or in your home following socially distant guidelines. Please note that this is based on availability and location. Please submit your interest here to help us form our schedule.
  
  
• Hamptons Fall: We had a great summer dancing with our friends out east, and are heading back for the fall for outdoor and socially distant in-home classes. Please submit your interest here to help us form our schedule.

​
Thank you for your incredible support over the past several months. We're looking forward to a wonderful year!

Dear Families,

I hope this finds you all safe and healthy.

We've been carefully working through how to continue to provide as much value and consistency for our dancers as possible during this unprecedented time of disruption.

It's clear at this point that we will not be able to re-open our doors next Monday as we'd hoped, and while we're incredibly disappointed by this reality, we're also excited to share that beginning on Monday, March 30, we'll take our classes virtual with DWMR at Home so we can keep dancing together.

Until we are able to re-open our doors...

• Every Monday, you will receive an email with a link to each level of class to enjoy on demand in the comfort of your own home or wherever you may be, with NEW weekly classes from our fabulous teachers available each Monday.
  
  
• As a special thanks to our families (and because I know we all need enriching activities to keep these dancers busy...), enrolled students will also have access to ALL of our weekly classes, giving you even more opportunities to keep your dancers moving and connected—you can even try a new class! Curious about our Future Broadway Stars program? Have your big sister's tap shoes laying around? Now is the perfect time to explore everything DWMR has to offer.
  
  
• Each week we'll also broadcast a schedule of LIVE interactive classes. Your weekly email will include specific day/time details for these live classes.

We will continue to provide these services every week of the Winter/Spring session until we can all dance together in person once again. We will closely monitor official guidance and keep you posted on timing.

Our annual recital is typically the highlight of our year, and we remain optimistic that this year will be no different. However, we also realize that as circumstances change daily, we will need to remain flexible. In any event, we are committed to coming together as a community to celebrate our dancers' hard work. We promise to keep you updated with information as we have it.

DWMR is a small, family business, and we humbly ask the community that we've served for the past 10 years (and those we're only just getting to know) to stick with us. We want to be here for our families when this moment passes. We want to survive this crisis and open our doors the very moment it is safe to do so. And of course, once we are able to be together in person, we will continue to find ways to help make up for the time we were not able to be physically together.

But for now, we are rising to this challenge and facing this crisis in the only way we know how—by providing consistent, professional, joyful classes to our community. Our dancers need it and our dancers deserve it.

Enrolled families—watch for an email each week with links to our first week of digital DWMR at Home classes and each week following, and in the meantime, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on Instagram to get your daily dose of DMWR fun. 

All of us at DWMR wish for the continued health and safety of you and your family and thank you for your continued support and community during this challenging time. And wow, you are missed. 

With love and appreciation,
Miss Rachel
