Classes for Children and Teens
Winter/Spring 2021
- Spring session dates: January 4-April 10, 2021
- Classes do not meet January 18, February 15, or March 13-19, 2021.
- Students must be the minimum age by August 15, 2020 for Winter/Spring 2021 to align with age requirements for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
- We anticipate beginning classes in January online via Zoom if the surge of COVID-19 cases continues through the holidays. Our goal is to move into the studios when it is reasonably safe to do so as cases begin to fall. Strict precautions will be observed based on the most current health and safety protocols.
- Classes will be drop-off only. Parents/Guardians will not be allowed to wait in the lobby during classes.
- For classes with a hybrid option as indicated on the schedule, once we are back in the studios, an online option will be available for students who need to stay home and quarantine. This option is not available for all classes.
