*********Effective October 1, 2020*********

Dear Friends and Dancers,

It is with a heavy heart and with gratitude that we Michelle, Keith, Roman and Jennifer, announce that September will be Lets Dance Studios last full month of business, we will continue private lessons with you until the end of the month and then, we will be closing indefinitely. This has been a most difficult decision to make, but we have unilaterally come to realized that we cannot maintain a sustainable dance community nor a sustainable business under the conditions we face at this unprecedented moment in our lives due to the many challenges presented with the Covid-19 virus.

Over the last 16 years of business, Lets Dance has survived normal recessions and other economic downturns, but the conditions we find ourselves in today are anything but normal and over the course of the summer (almost 6 months ago since we closed) it is evident that there is just not enough positive indicators to warrant hope that the economy will see an upturn soon enough to restore conditions favorable to dancing and reestablishing a viable dance community and business again.

Keith and I have loved dancing together for over 25 years. The social aspect of the studio has been so much a part of our lives and livelihood. We have loved teaching and dancing with so many of you past and present. We have such wonderful memories of parties, classes, workshops, dances, cruises, events, and people. Weve made friends and weve seen people, friendships and relationships blossom and develop.

Thank you to the previous owner of Lets Dance for this opportunity to have materialized. Thank you to all the previous instructors who have worked with Lets Dance for your time, enthusiasm, your unique personal touch and talents. Thank you Roman and Jennifer, six years ago you brought your passion for the art of dance to our studio and continued to be a source of inspiration and admiration in our dance community.

Most of all, thank you everyone, you who made it past the door and up the stairs for group classes, private lessons or dance parties. We are so grateful to all of you who have been a part of making Lets Dance Studio such a special, even magical place. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and for giving us the gift of dance.
