Ballet in the time of a Pandemic..
What an interesting time we are all having right now…
My hope is that all my ballet friends & colleagues are finding ways to enjoy the arts and dance in whatever way possible. I’m missing everything terribly and haven’t really had the heart to post about all the wonderful online classes that have been available over the last few months. Since studios are starting to slowly open, I’m happy to share any information about classes that are currently happening. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and finding ways to enjoy your time. Stay safe out there, my friends!

The Studios In Issaquah
From their recent Facebook post:
Same-day drop-in classes available!
Beginning today, we are once again offering drop-in classes, however, during Phase 2 while we can only have up to 5 clients in class we are limiting these drop-ins to SAME-DAY classes only.
This is a beta test – For this to work, we have a few asks… if you have a monthly pass, please book at least 1-day before class to ensure you reserve your space. Drop-in clients must check on Mindbody before purchasing to make sure there is at least 1 spot in class available for you. Purchases must be made in advance on Mindbody to ensure space is available in class.
Note: The Studio is not responsible for drop-in purchases made when there is no space available in class.
