We have a new platform that we will be able to upload documents, videos and announcements easily for all students and parents to access. This new form of communication will be direct from teachers to keep students up to date with their goals, technical corrections and ...daily exercises enabling them to continue with their training at this time of need and inaccessibility from our direct studios. We will use this time moving forwards to enhance individual programs and create responsibility for each student to continue progressing with both their individual goals as well as class goals and objectives. #ballet #onlineclasses
