The new year is bringing some new faces to our studios. First and foremost, McMinnville and Newberg students – please welcome back to CVDA, the founder and original owner of CVDA, Miss Rachel!!! We are THRILLED to have Miss Rachel returning to the studio and jumping right in to take on Acro. You might just see her in some new classes on the schedule coming up soon too! As we transition into this new year, you will also see Miss Abigail and Mr. Fran popping in to spot, train, sub, and cover some classes here and there. Miss Abigail has extensive acro experience and subbing, with her specialty being contortion. Mr. Fran has power tumbling experience and his specialty is coaching tricks and flips, as well as spotting. We are confident that the acro program will continue to thrive with these new instructors building off of our previous program that Miss Karley loved on so much.
What remains the same as we return to classes:
- Drop off at the entrance of the buildings for classes (please do not drop off dancers more than 5 minutes before a class)
- Pick up at the entrance of the building for classes
- Lobbies are CLOSED in the traditional function of waiting for dancers
- All dancers 5 and up are required to wear a mask while in the studio building
- If your dancer is symptomatic, please do not send them to dance. We will be happy to arrange a makeup class or send a video for them to enjoy dancing along to at home.
- Our Teamapp is our most used communication tool – please download it today. Feel out of the loop? Make sure you download the Teamapp, sign up with an email address and join @iheartcvda.
