Re. COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Updated: April 2021

Current status: KtS Dance are currently closed for the Easter holidays. We are awaiting further announcements from the UK Government in regard to the reopening phases. For dance studios the 'earliest date of return' is expected to be April 12th 2021 and pending changes we plan to reopen in studio for the Summer Term on Friday 23rd April.

Online class options will continue to be available. If anything changes and we can not return to the studio at this time all timetables will again transfer to Zoom.  

All in studio classes will be run under strict risk assessments and covid-secure measures which will be updated at the point of return.

Parents of all KtS enrolled pupils will be updated via email.
