Children & Youth Schedule 20/21 Semester

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE OF THE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE COUNTY OF MARIN FOR GYMS AND FITNESS STUDIOS ( including dance studios)

We are currently using our outdoor stage for classes, if the weather is too bad we will switch to Zoom for the day.

MCD has closed classes after the enrollment period has ended. We also have cohorts for each and every level, and are in compliance with the State Guidelines per MarinRecovers. com

"Note that dance studios, yoga studios, and martial arts classes are governed by the state’s guidance for Gyms and Fitness Centers, regardless of the age of the participants. The guidance for gyms and fitness centers does not limit the number of cohorts an instructor may work with for dance, yoga, martial arts, or similar classes."

All dancers in Level 1- 2A who are attending in-person will be asked to commit to MCD and only one other activity for the Fall session to aid in maintaining closed pods of students for everyone's safety, per the counties requirements.
