Academic Year – Term 2 Enrollment

If you/your dancer is currently enrolled in 1st term (Sept-Dec) of an academic year class, they are automatically enrolled for 2nd term (Jan-June) so no one loses their spot. Second term tuition fees will be posted to family accounts around November 5th. These fees are due by Saturday, December 5th, after which the system will automatically apply a $20 late fee. Payments can be made through the parent portal with a credit card, or by e-transfer sent to the dance school’s email address (nldc@northlondondancecentre.ca.) AFTER fees are posted in November.

NLDC Masks & Tights In Stock

We’ve got MASKS! The rainbow pattern is a child size (approx age 2-8) and the teal pattern is a youth size (approx ages 9+). $12 + tax.

We’ve also got tights back in stock in ALL SIZES and all colours (pink, black & tan). Children $15 & Adult $17 (taxes included). Order today by emailing the office at nldc@northlondondancecentre.ca. Safe, curbside pick-up.

The weather is getting cooler, but we will still be moving & grooving in our adult classes! Did you know we run 13 adult classes per week, for beginners to more advanced students? We have adult ballet, tap, contemporary, hip hop, progressing ballet technique, and jazz. It’s not too late to register online using the parent & student portal.

RAD Ballet Exams & Class Awards

We send best wishes out to our 28 candidates who are FINALLY getting to present their work to the Royal Academy of Dance on November 9 & 10th. These are our rescheduled dates from the spring when Covid-19 interrupted our plans. Keep up the hard work, dancers! We’re proud of you.

Covid-19 Precautions

The following Covid-19 related precautions will continue to be followed at NLDC and we commit to keeping you informed as guidelines change moving forward:

1. Our lobby and dancer’s waiting room are closed to ensure a minimum number of people are entering/exiting the building. Dancers will continue to be dropped off at the door, and our staff will guide students into the studio. A few things that will help ALL classes to get in and out of the studio more efficiently:
   • Complete your Covid-19 screen form online in advance of arriving to the dance studio. It must be completed EVERY DAY that you/your dancer is coming into the facility. Here’s the link to bookmark: https://forms.gle/MoFzEScDYgWxyAKJA
   • Please do not leave the parking lot until a staff member has confirmed your screening was received.
   • You do not need to complete the form if you are NOT coming to dance that day.
   • Wear slip on shoes that are easy to remove and put on. Please avoid the socks and sneaker combo, if your dancer is part of our children’s program. Please put your dancer’s name on their shoes.
   • Line up no more than 5 minutes in advance of your class & please do not block the entrances or park in front of neighbouring businesses in the spots that are marked as reserved for their customers.
   • Arrive on time to pick up children & be visible to our office staff from the door. Please come out of your car to retrieve our young dancers; our staff cannot easily see you when the dancers exit the building if you stay in your car.
   • Have dancers go to the washroom before arriving at dance.
2. Dancer’s will continue to be asked to sanitize their hands coming in and out of the facility.
3. Anyone ages 12+ MUST wear a mask to enter & exit the facility.
4. Dancer’s will continue to be physically distanced in the studio.
5. Our enhanced cleaning routines will stay in place for the foreseeable future.
6. Outdoor shoes must be taken off immediately when entering the building & dance shoes are not to be worn outside. We appreciate that you are trying to save us time on the inside, but any dirt on the bottoms of shoes is an issue for our dance flooring & students dancing in bare feet.
7. Young dancers do not need a bag; carrying their shoes in hand makes things easier for us.

Virtual Parent Viewing Week #1

Thank you to all of the parents who have been joining us online since Saturday for our first ever, VIRTUAL parent viewing week! Virtual Parent Viewing Week #1 continues until Friday, October 30. Please use the instructions which were emailed out to families on October 19th to join the classes virtually.

As always, thank you for trusting us with your family’s dance education. We know you have other choices, and we’re glad you’re with us.
