Dance Teachers Online Newsletter

Hi DTOL Member

…and welcome to the latest edition of the DTOL newsletter.

Adapting to the new…

Many of us are back teaching and organising dance classes once more, almost all under new and ever-changing rules & restrictions. Some are having to deal with new (hopefully very temporary) lockdown situations for a second time. Hang in there!

From my own experience (my day job away from DTOL is running a dance school) and that of others, is that the extra effort is worth it, as our students (both young & old) really value their weekly dance classes and certainly don’t want to stop.

Advice & Help

Here are a couple of groups that may help with covid matters, legal issues, starting back again after a lockdown, etc.:

• Creative Arts Business Support Hive
  Private Facebook group : “Helping performing arts businesses perform”
• The Dance Biz
  Ian de Souza provides a free “Dance School re-opening Kit” plus ongoing help and advice

Take care everyone!
