Newsletter for May 2020

I hope this newsletter finds everyone healthy, safe, and at home!

Hopefully by now everyone has received their first 'online' video class!  I hope it encourages the children to continue dancing, provides a class for them to look forward to doing, and keeps their skills up in dance!

Many thanks to everyone for supporting online classes, as we try to get through this quarantine together!

If your child is celebrating five, ten, or 15 years dancing at Gracie's, please email Gracie directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let her know.  ALSO, if your child is graduating high school, please email Gracie and let her know.  The deadline is May 15th!

We are all waiting patiently for Governor Hogan to outline the phases to reopen Maryland, and as soon as he does, we can move forward with making plans for the recital.  Thank you all for understanding.

As soon as we can start preparing for the recital, we will share the line up of the shows, and see if we're able to have a 'picture' week, and make plans for the annual recital book.  So more details on all of this will be forthcoming.

So remember for May, please drop your tuition off at the outside green mailbox over by the dumpster, it has 44150 and GRACIE on the side.  Cash or check is fine.  For May I am only charging half of your tuition, since online classes are only about 20-25 minutes in length.  Please try to drop off your payment by May 7th by 5:00 p.m.  Thanks!  If you have lost your job due to the virus, and you are not able to pay for your tuition, let me know.  Several people have generously donated extra this month to help pay tuition for those in need, and also to help sustain the studio during this (terrible) time.  Many thanks to everyone who was able to do this!

Drop me a line and let me know how your child is enjoying the online video classes, email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so the staff can share in your comments!  The teachers and I have worked extra hard to get these video classes to you (trust me it's much easier and less time to do it in person), so please try to encourage your child to participate in the video classes!

That's all for now!  Take care!  Just keep dancin'!!!
