L'ecole de Danse de Lafayette

It's almost time! Start warming up and stretching. Classes begin on Sept. 8! Whoo hooo!

We will not have dance classes tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020 due to hurricane Delta. Please take this time to secure your home, or evacuate with your loved ones if you feel it necessary. I wish everyone safe and well and will look forward to seeing everyone next week.

Reminder: Classes start this week 9/13/2020 at our regular schedule. We will be at Robicheaux Center, 1919 Eraste Landry Rd. Lafayette 70506. I will meet you in the lobby. All students (age 8 and over) and parents must wear a facial covering in the common areas of the building. We will not require masks while in class, but social distance requirements will be upheld. I will give air hugs, touchless high fives and encourage all students to do the same. As soon as Thomas is available we will return there for our classes.

Great news! We will be having our dance and tumbling classes at Robicheaux Center for the next few weeks until Thomas Park is available again. Same time as scheduled...I will meet you in the Lobby and walk you to our room. See you next week. Robicheaux center is located at 1919 Eraste Landry Rd, Lafayette, LA 70506

We will not be able to have classes again this week and probably for the next two weeks at Thomas Park. Our options are to wait and start in October, or try to find a temporary place in another park for the next 2-3 weeks.. Our closest options are Comeaux Center or Robicheaux Center. Please, let me know which you would prefer, wait until October, or find a temporary location.

Class will not begin this week after all. The Louisiana National Guard is using Thomas Park for staging and housing troops this week. All activities at Thomas Park are on hold until they leave. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am hoping they are out next week. I will keep you updated.

Thank you,
Andrea Ryland

Dance was scheduled to start Aug. 31; however, the National Guard is using Thomas Park for a staging area and are housing in the building. Dance will resume the following week with the exception of Monday's classes as the park will be closed for Labor Day.
