Dear SOBT Families,
A Happy New Year to all! I know everyone is as eager as I am to get started in our new facility, unfortunately we have a slight delay and classes will now begin on Thursday, January 7, 2016.
The only major element not in place in the new building is our new state-of-the-art dance floors from Harlequin. The floors were to be installed over the course of this week, yet due to inclement weather the crew from Harlequin was not able to get out of Dallas as scheduled. This, coupled with the holiday travel rush, will make it impossible for the crew to get to Portland until this Saturday. Harlequin is now on schedule to complete the job early next week and we will be ready to begin classes on Thursday.
I am very sorry for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause, but I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. As we do not have any “snow days” built into our schedule, we will forgo our regular post Annual School Performance break from April 25 -27, 2016, in order to make-up for the missed classes. For the Monday Pre-Ballet 5/6 class, there will be a make-up class on Monday, March 21, 2016.
Though there will be no classes this Monday through Wednesday, I would like to invite families in to tour the building those days from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. I will be there with other members of the staff and faculty to guide students and families through the space, and answer any questions.
Again, thank you in advance for your understanding and your continued support of SOBT. I look forward to creating many wonderful memories in our new space in 2016 and in the years to come.
A very Happy New Year to all,
Anthony Jones
School Director
