New online store for Fall dress code!!

We are excited to announce the new online store where you can purchase all your dancer’s shoes and leotards needed for classes in the fall! The new store is- Shop Nimbly. If you danced with us last year or pre-covid, it works very similar to Curtain Call for Class. Please see below for directions on ordering what your dancer will need. We are in the process of getting new shoe sizing kits in for all of the classes. We will have these in August.

  • Our dress code for each class can be found HERE

  • Create an account at Shop Nimbly via the link above.

  • Add your dancer and Allegro Dance as the studio.

  • Shop “My Studio’s Lists” from the top menu. You will find your dancer’s class on that page.

  • Simply click on their class to see the shoes, tights, and leotards needed!

Please note that dance shoes run differently than street shoes. Please follow the guidance of the sizing charts for each shoe when determining what size your dancer needs. If you prefer to try them on before ordering, we can fit you at the studio once the kits arrive.

As always, we have a great selection of I Love Plum tutus in stock at the studio, tights, bows and fun Allegro Dance apparel!

COVID-19 PROCEDURES

As we continue to dance through the COVID-19 Pandemic, our number one priority is to continue to keep our dance families and staff safe. Since restarting in person classes on June 23, 2020, we have run in person classes safely. There has been no evidence of spread at our studios and we are very proud of this! We cannot thank our families enough for being cautious and communicating with us as needed! Please see our current procedures below and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns! We feel that during these challenging times, giving children a safe outlet to cope with emotions they may not be able to communicate is so important! Dance provides that, as well as a place to safely socialize with kids their own age!

  • Temperature checks at the door

  • Sanitizing upon entrance and exit

  • Masks must be worn by anyone in the building over the age of 4. (This could change depending on recommendations from the CDC and current executive orders)

  • Social distancing is enforced

  • Class sizes are limited

  • The lobby is closed to all parents of children over the age of 5

  • New HVAC system installed June 2020

  • Door knobs, light switches, cubbies and benches cleaned every hour

  • Ballet barres are cleaned after every use

  • Thorough cleaning of the studio is done daily

  • All families are asked to follow guidance from the local health department should they experience an exposure. Please notify us of any exposures so we can act appropriately.

  • Please do not come to class if your dancer has a fever or is experiencing any symptoms that could be related to COVID.

  • Please Zoom into class if your child was exposed to COVID or is running a temperature

  • Each family always has the option to utilize Zoom instead of attending in studio should your comfort level change

We look forward to working with your child safely!
