COVID-19 Safety Measures

To best ensure the safety of our dancers, their families and caregivers, and our staff, Dance with Miss Rachel has put in place preventative/social distancing measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 that include the following:
​
  • ​Anyone 12+ years entering our studios (including staff and instructors) must show proof of vaccination
  • In-studio classes will be limited (depending on studio and class level)
  • All high-touch studio areas will be sanitized frequently throughout the day
  • All hands will be sanitized upon entry into studio, and sanitizer will be offered throughout class
  • Touch-less soap and touch-less sanitizers will be available onsite at DWMR studios
  • Dancers ages 2+ will be asked to wear a mask while onsite at DWMR studios
  • While students are not required to wear masks during outdoor classes, parents may elect to have their children wear a mask
  • All studio instructors, staff, and any dancer family members will be required to wear a mask at all times while onsite at DWMR
  • Dancers will be permitted entry to the studio no more than 10 minutes prior to their class. Anyone arriving before that time will be asked to wait outside.
  • Our older dancers will be asked to dance in a designated "dancer dot" for in-studio classes. Our youngest dancers will be kept a safe distance from other dancers and the instructor.
  • Drop off is required for all dancers except Budding Ballerinas. If drop off is not possible, parent or caregiver will be asked to leave the building 5 minutes into class and come back for pickup 5 minutes before the end of class.
  • We ask that one adult bring each dancer to class each week
  • Anyone (instructors, staff, dancers, family) who is feeling sick will be asked to stay home and not enter DWMR studios. In addition, all instructors, staff, dancers and families are expected to adhere to all CDC guidelines.
Please note that prices vary between all options and are specific to these sessions due to COVID-19. Should all classes need to go virtual for any reason at any time, there will be no credits, refunds, or tuition adjustments.

DANCE CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Budding Ballerinas
(Ages 1.5-2yrs)

It’s never too early to start dancing! Little ones are introduced to the world of ballet, using creative movement, games, props and songs, all while instructors sing along to live piano music. A great way for grown up and child to bond through music and movement. Child must be accompanied by an adult at all times in this class.

Twinkle Toes
(Ages 2-3 yrs)

A natural progression from Budding Ballerinas. Our ballerinas are now ready to learn the basics of ballet, including the French words for our dancing. Ballerinas continue to sing and dance along to live piano music. Drop-off class.

Twinkle Toes II
(Ages 3-4 yrs)

Ballerinas now recognize the French terms for most ballet moves. We continue to learn the basics of classical ballet through creative movement, storytelling, and the use of imaginative props. Our little dancers begin to blossom into real ballerinas! Drop-off class.

Twinkle Toes III
(Ages 4-5 yrs)

This class is a continuation of Twinkle Toes II and is open to dancers who have completed Twinkle Toes II and/or are aged 4-5 years. Drop-off class.

Twinkle Toes IV

This class is a continuation of Twinkle Toes III and is open to dancers who have completed Twinkle Toes III and/or are aged 5-6 years. Drop-off class.

Diva Dancer Ballerinas
(Ages 6-7 yrs)

These divas really get dancing! Ballerinas have mastered the 5 ballet positions and are now dancing at the barre, across the floor, and in the center, all while still singing to live music. Still just as much fun, but now our ballerinas are ready to focus on the art form that is ballet. Drop-off class.

​Diva Dancer Ballerinas II

​
This class is for our dancers that have completed Diva Dancer Ballerinas I  and/or are aged 7+. This class is for our oldest and most experienced ballerinas. Drop-off class.

Future Broadway Stars I
(Ages 3.5-5yrs)

Led by professionally trained Broadway performers, kids explore the world of musical theatre through storytelling, creative movement, singing, and acting, while learning about kid-friendly musicals. Kids will focus on several musicals each session (ANNIE, THE WIZARD OF OZ, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, etc.) and present a mini-recital for grown-ups at the completion of each show. Drop-off class.

*Future Broadway Stars II
(Ages 5-6: For students who have completed Future Broadway Stars I AND are ages 5+ or new students 5+)

This class is for our veteran Broadway Stars. As we build on what we learned in Broadway I, we will continue to work on our acting, singing, and dancing chops. We'll begin exploring new facets of musical theatre, such as script memorization, scene work, vocal ranges, and more. Mini-recitals will be presented to grown-ups at the completion of each musical. Drop-off class.

**Future Broadway Stars III
(Ages 6+: For students who have completed Future Broadway Stars II and are age 6+.)

This class is for our veteran Broadway Stars. As we build on what we learned in Broadway II, we will continue to work on our acting, singing, and dancing chops. This class will focus on one musical per session. Drop-off class.

+Broadway Company
(Ages 7+: By approval only for students who have completed Future Broadway Stars III or IV and are age 7+)

An invitation-only, ensemble-based resident company program for our veteran Broadway Stars focused on collaborating and creating original musicals. Focus will be on cultivating what makes each performer unique, what it means to work as a theatre ensemble, and growing as triple-threat actors, singers, and dancers—includes skills-building (singing, dance styles, acting games and technique), and culminating in a full production.
