Good Evening! We just sent this email to all parent email contacts, but wanted to share here as well! Happy 2021, Dance Family! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday, regardless of how different they may have been. It certainly has been a year of unusual circumstances and adapting, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the season.... Due to the rising numbers of COVID cases in our area we feel it is the most responsible choice to extend our holiday break for one week to make sure that all of our families are more easily able to return to the studio safe and illness free after the holiday time. The health and safety of our dance family is of the utmost importance, and we are trying to do as much as we can to keep our dancers, instructors, and their families all safe and healthy. We hope that this extra week off will not extend further, but we are monitoring the changing situation and will keep you updated should we decide to further extend this closure. At this time, we will prorate January tuition by one week. If you have already paid for January, we will prorate your February tuition for one week. We will now be returning to classes as usual on January 11, instead of the previously planned, January 4th. Be safe, stay well, and we will see you soon. The EPAC team

Merry Christmas to all of our amazing EPAC dance family and friends. Thank you for all of your support during this very difficult year!! We hope you all have a safe and happy holiday!

I know that lately all it seems like all we hear is news that leads to disappointment or change, but for ONCE, I am excited to be able to share some absolutely awesome news with our dance family. Today I was contacted by Dance Bug TV show regarding one of our EPAC Revolution Dance Company performances at the 2019 World Dance Championships. After speaking with them, I am honored to pass this info along! Next Saturday (December 26) they will be dropping a new episode of The Da...nceBUG Show and EPAC is being featured in it! S.1: E132, the New Years Eve Special will be celebrating all things dance. Our full EPAC performance of This is The New Year at the 2019 World Dance Championships by our senior jazz company will be featured in the Top Things We are Most Excited About Seeing in the New Year segment of the show. New episodes of The DanceBUG Show are aired on Saturdays and are left available on-demand through the week to the following Friday at www.DanceBUG.com and the DanceBUG app on iOS or Android. This complete surprise is absolutely awesome, and I cannot wait to watch! Please join me in congratulating our amazing ladies on this accomplishment!

We hope all our dance families are staying safe and healthy as we start our Christmas break this week- we would love to see ways you are celebrating the holiday this year (and those dancing and practice at home photos too!). Send them our way and let us know how YOUR Christmas season is being celebrated during this untraditional year- what new traditions are you creating?

We may not have been able to have our Christmas show this year, but we still were cheery in the studio. On our last night of class before break, senior jazz and rifle student Amanda quickly recorded a number that will be shared this week with area nursing home residents for their enjoyment- we thought you all might like it too! **safe social distance maintained for recording solo.
