Help Dance Underground survive Coronavirus crisis

Dear Dancers,

With the statewide mandatory shutdown on recreational spaces and enforced social distancing, Dance Underground cannot operate our normal programing. Currently, we have some live streaming at the studio from our dear teachers to keep social connection. With no income from our regular programming, Dance Underground is in desperate financial need to retain our tenancy through this pandemic.

Ilana and I met 25 years ago on the Seattle dance floor and have been together ever since. Not only have we formed a partnership in life and Argentine Tango, we have also formed a partnership to operate Dance Underground. For the past 20 years, we have poured all our heart and energy into promoting the growth of the dance, fitness, and art communities of Seattle.

Our mission for Dance Underground is to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere in an elegant setting, that facilitates optimum instruction and learning. We promote talented instructors who are recognized for their teaching excellence and their dedication to inspire their students to grow and express themselves creatively. Our programs range from kid‘s ballet classes, adult dance and fitness classes, to social dances. We pride ourselves on our diverse programs where communities of all ages and different art forms can feel at home in our studio.

We have created a GoFundMe account to raise $25,000 to help pay a portion of the rent and utility bills for April, May and June.

We ask for your help and encourage you to contribute anything you can. We understand this is a difficult time for many people. If you can't support financially right now, we ask for your help to spread the word to your friends in the Seattle dance, fitness and art communities. You can also help by supporting our future events and classes when we are allowed to continue our normal programs.

We are grateful for your help to keep Dance Underground afloat so we all will have a home to return to after this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Tony and Ilana

Dear Dancers,

We want to let you know that we have decided to put a temporarily hold on all weekly tango classes, practica and the Saturday night milonga at the Dance Underground. We want to follow governor Inslee's guideline on social gathering and social distancing.

We will continue to monitor the situation and inform you immediately when we resume all classes and the Saturday night milonga.

For dancers who are signed up for the class series, we will add make up classes when we resume.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We wish you continue to remain healthy during this unprecedented time.

Tony & Ilana

Dear Dancers,

We want to let you know that we will continue running the weekly classes and the Saturday night milonga at the Dance Underground.

In addition to individual preventative effort, here are extra steps we are taking for the classes and dance:
• Extra cleaning and wiping down surfaces with disinfectant.
• Milonga- We will not use table cloth for a while to help create a more easily cleaned space.
• Milonga snack- We will provide individually wrapped snacks as an option.
• Posted hand washing signs " Everyone wash hands before and after events" and provide hand sanitizer.
• As always, we respect your decision to stay with one partner and not rotating.
• If you sign up for the class series- In an event that we need to cancel the classes, we will add make up classes.
• We offer private lessons for dancers that want to limit their exposure from a group class setting.
Please stay home if you are not feeling well or if you are a member of high risk group. Take precautions outlined by all health agencies.

We will continue to monitor the state and county health department and the CDC for updates and inform you immediately if we need to cancel any events.

Thank you. Keep washing our hands!
