As we continue to evolve and emerge better than we were when we started We are living in a moments unmatched, a shift that has shaken our perspectives BUT not our foundation. We still Have HOPE! Though this transition we have diligently and carefully studied the last supports to ensure that making the best decisions we can for our families and our employees. Like most of you we are taking it moment by moment, and while there is still so much to consider and evaluate, our staff have been putting the nose to the grindstone to put a few quality plans in place for the Fall into the Spring. Slowly and safely returning to the second home, DDI Studios, we have meshed our training modules and, we are bringing the creative experience to you virtually, physically, and safely No need to worry, DDI has you covered! You will find your classes on page designated for you age group/level and click below for special links, online events and special resource material to keep you developing dynamically! Our goal is to continue to offer a place of creative inspiration, comfort, communication, and extended family connection for our staff and students. We are socially connected, just physically distant. Lets' Create!
The Virtual Class platform is not a new development but new to our offerings. This platform allows the educators to focus deeper into the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains, and hone in on specific goals for each student. We’re hopeful that our families will understand that this is a rapidly fluid situation and that we are doing our best to navigate in everyone best interest. Although we have no idea how long this will be our new normal, we sure hope you'll give our virtual classes a try. Our students at DDI have enjoyed seeing their teachers, meeting new educators from NYC, students from other countries, honing in on details, experiencing cross disciplinary models, and connecting with local dance family again.
Seamlessly integrating the virtual learning experience with the physical studio reset has been and enjoyable exploratory event this past summer. This platform allows the educators to connect with a smaller group of students in person, still hone in on specific goals for each student, but offer the use of creative space that is more familiar and condusive for the learner. With the fluid situation that we are still moving in and through, we want to offer a structure that still engages the students but has built in flexaibilty so that we can maintain continuity, growth and flow. Although we have no idea how long this will be our new normal, we sure hope you'll give our virtual classes a try. Our students at DDI are loving seeing their teachers, honing in on details, experiencing cross disciplinary models, and connecting with dance family again.
We appreciate and understand your concern! We are all navigating through this right now and we will still be providing the same level of professionalism, care, and education digitally as we always have in person. We have several new protocols in place to ensure a safe experience in the studio and on line. Safety is still our number one priority in all environments. To that end, our students will be given a safety checklist to prepare their home environment, their digital platforms, and the teacher and admin proctor will be on the lesson session at all times. If parents have additional concerns for safety, we recommend they stay in the room with the student during the lesson. (Maybe Join in 👏🏽).
