After more than 3 months of confinement, the dance resumes in Vaudreuil and Laval.
In order to allow you to practice your favorite activity, we will offer you summer courses.
These courses will be offered over a period of 7 weeks, starting on July 6, according to a schedule that we will publish in a few days. These lessons will be given by different teachers, depending on the week chosen. Indeed you will be able to choose the whole block of 7 weeks or only the dates that you are available. These courses are for everyone, former students or new participants from outside.
Beside wearing the appropriate shoes for the dance style chosen, there will be no regulatory costume required. Apart from the course fees that we will publish with the courses schedule, there will be no additional registration fees for these courses.
All those who had already paid installment # 3, from last January 25, will be credited with their first 3 courses of this summer session.
Due to the new conditions we now have to live with, the number of students will be restricted for each class and new procedures will be applied regarding distancing and disinfection. Waiting rooms will not be available for parents, only students will have access to the studios.
As for the Day Camp formula, there are still places available for our Vaudreuil and Laval day camps. The schedule and pricing are available on our website www.ABMCdanse.ca under the ‘Events’ tab.
Stay tuned, more details will be available in a few days.
ABMC Danse – COVID 19
Update of June 1st, 2020
Following the last update, published 1 month ago. Here is where we are.
Life is slowly returning, but not as it was before COVID-19.
Last month, we hoped to be able to resume classes on June 1 to allow students to complete the year that ended abruptly. This year also marked the 45th anniversary of the founding of ABMC Danse.
It is now official that the 2019-2020 academic year of ABMC Danse ended on March 14.
We will now look to the future and plan to start school for next September, for the 2020-2021 academic year. For this purpose, you will receive, after August 15th , a personalized email indicating your choice of available courses according to the courses already taken, the pricing of these as well as the applicable discounts, so that you can register directly online. We will be on the lookout for the next few months to see how the next stages of general deconfinement will unfold.
Here are the answers to the questions you may be asking yourself.
Of course, the 4th installment, scheduled for April 4, is not required. Those who had submitted post-dated checks to pay the course fees had their last check not cashed. Families who prepaid the full year will be reimbursed the equivalent of the 4th installment. For all, lessons canceled between March 14 and April 4, which were paid for on the 3rd installment of January 25, will be credited to your file and carried over to next season.
However, those who had a balance in their account on the date of confinement, March 14, will receive an invoice for amounts still due on that date.
Now that we know that this year is truly over. A compilation of each of the files will be made in the coming weeks and a statement of account will be sent to you by email indicating either, the amounts still due, that your account is up to date, the amount that will be credited to you or the amount to be reimbursed.
Obviously, the year-end shows were canceled. We are still hopeful for the presentation of The Nutcracker, scheduled for next December. For the year end shows, since the planning of show costumes had already started more than 6 months before classes stopped, the rental deposits for show costumes, even if they are non-refundable, will however be credited to your account for the next season. For those who have already paid for the purchase of the Pre-Ballet 1 costume, since there was no show, we will credit you with the purchase amount for next season. Please contact us if you would rather have your costume.
The majority of dance competitions scheduled since March have already been postponed until next fall. Competition and costume rental fees remain in effect. Details will be provided by your respective teachers for each of the troops.
The day camps for the Vaudreuil and Laval branches will be held simultaneously at the two branches, for a period of 7 blocks of 1 week, with more dates than those which had been announced at the start. The 7 weeks available are from July 6 to August 21. You choose the week that suits you or any combination of weeks. Discounts are given for multiple blocks.
In order to meet the new standards, several changes will be made to the operation and the number of participants per group will be smaller than before. We are taking the necessary measures to comply with the measures to mitigate the spread of the virus and social distancing.
The date on which we receive the registration request will determine the priority for the selection of participants. The first payment may however be made on the first day of the block chosen.
Explanatory leaflets are available on our website, under the tab “EVENTS” under “Day camp 2020” either for Laval or for Vaudreuil-Dorion.
During this confinement period, in order to keep in touch, several video capsules were put online by ABMC teachers, on our Facebook and Instagram page. You will find exercises for Hip Hop, Ballet and Contemporary, stretching, abs and arms. We also present you with various fun challenges. In recent days, a course for toddlers has been online to keep her hand or foot.
If you need to contact us, it is always preferable to do so by email at BalletMChamberland@videotron.ca or via our website www.ABMCdanse.ca Be sure to include the student’s full name, group, and phone number.
Like all of you, we do not know what we have in store for the next few weeks. Hope that with the arrival of good weather we can soon resume our lives.
In the meantime, all of our ABMC Danse family wish you good health and hope that you take advantage of these family moments to get closer to each other.
It’s going to be fine!
