*It is very important that parents/guardians pick up students in a timely manner. Students must be picked-up within 5 minutes after their last class. If you are running late, please call the office immediately.

Parent Observation:

Parents of First Steps Division classes and adaptive dance classes only are welcome to stay in the CBA lobby to observe during class if they prefer (preferably only one adult per student, plus a sibling if necessary). All other parents may either drop-off their child or may come in with their child and then return to their vehicle to limit capacity inside the lobbies. 

Parents with students in classes in 29North’s Studio 3 may use our Zoom links as our “virtual lobby” for observation.  If you choose to take advantage of our “virtual lobby,” please note that if you log on after the class start time, there may be a slight delay in admittance, since the teacher of the class will also be the host of the meeting. 

Upon entering the Zoom room, please immediately change your listed name to your child’s full name, or at least first name & last initial.  This will increase security and help us ensure that only parents & family members are watching class each week.  The teachers have been instructed to remove anyone from the meeting who does not have an attending student’s name listed.  If you are unsure about how to rename yourself, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.  An administrative staff member will be happy to instruct you.
