It’s hard to believe we just passed six months since the pandemic hit. In March 2020 all of Massachusetts was under “stay at home” orders and our hospitals were just starting to see the start of a surge of COVID-19 cases. With everyone stuck indoors, we reformatted the way we taught and began offering daily online classes live via Zoom, and pre-recorded via our Facebook group. Some former members living thousands of miles away even re-joined the school to take class with us virtually!

When Massachusetts allowed the re-opening for in-person instruction, we began to allow some in-person classes to take place with mandated restrictions- especially mask-wearing for all in attendance and maintaining distance by tape marks on the floor and modification of our usual class to prevent student contact. With a max capacity of 10 students, though, lately the classes have sometimes been full.

To handle the need for more slots, we will be expanding the schedule further, starting on October 12. We will be splitting kids classes in-person into 3 age groups–just like we did before the pandemic–and adult in-person classes will be moving to 6pm, also just like before the pandemic.

We’re not “back to normal,” but it’ll be a little closer to the way things used to be.

We’ll continue offering many Zoom-only classes, Zoom live stream of most in-person classes, and private lessons.

Look for the new schedule to be announced soon!
