NO dance studio should look like this on a Saturday morning! We are missing our students and dancers SO much on this rainy day. Children and teens NEED routine, exercise, an encouraging environment, and to be allowed to do what they love in order to thrive. Kids NEED dance and we know we can provide this in a safe and sanitized environment. In the meantime, we will continue with our zoom classes as to provide support, a sense of normalcy and FUN to the children of our community. #letthemdance #kidsneeddance #dancenovascotia #openthedancestudios #novascotia #maritimedanceacademy

Reminder- All classes are cancelled for tonight, November 25th at both location as we work to transition to zoom classes for the next two weeks. Please stay tuned for links to your classes during our short and temporary, mandatory closure.
