Welcome to Fall at the Dance Workshop!
Classes began Monday, August 24. Fall Session I will run until Saturday, October 17. If you haven't registered for classes yet, no worries! We know that this is a busy time of year with school starting. Dancers may start at any time, as long as there is room in the class that you would like to take.
Now taking registrations:
Here's a link to our current schedule for classes beginning on Monday, August 24: Fall I Session Class Schedule
And here's a link to our Fall II Session of classes: Fall II Session
We've made some schedule adjustments, so please note that Tuesday Contemporary 2/3/4 now runs from 4:45 - 6:00pm.
Pre-registration for currently enrolled students begins Monday, September 28, with open registration beginning Monday, October 5.
And NEW! We're adding Absolute Beginning Ballet/Contemporary to the schedule on Tuesdays from 6:00 - 7:00pm.
Absolute Beginning is an excellent class for dancers who like things broken down and explained carefully, before they jump into a regular Ballet or Contemporary class.
Also relatively new! We expanded the age range for young dancers in our Intro to Dance program with teacher Bentley to include three-year-olds. New dancers can do a drop-in, paid single, to try out the class and see if it's a good fit.
Upcoming dates to be aware of:
Second Friday, ART-About, will take place on Friday, October 9th! Join us for a "mixed-media" event and view art by local artists, short dance performances, make art, and more! We'll be hosting it from 5:30 - 7:30, and it's a FREE and family-friendly event.
EXCITEMENT! The Dance Workshop has been chosen to host a Master Class with Akram Khan dancer
Aishwarya Raut, on Friday, October 16th.
Interested dancers must register in advance for this free class, as space is limited.
The Akram Khan Dance Company performs Thikra: Night of Remembering
at the Mondavi Center on Saturday, October 17. Tickets are available at mondaviarts.org
Aishwarya Raut is a dance artist from Mumbai, with a Master’s degree in Professional Dance Performance.
Formerly a dancer with Rambert in London (2018-2024), she worked with leading contemporary choreographers and performed internationally across theatre, film, as well as site-specific works. She was nominated for Best Female Dancer at the UK National Dance Awards in 2024 and was also selected as one of Bachtrack’s 10 Rising Stars in Dance and Choreography for 2024/2025.
For those of you who prefer an on-line registration process, we now have one!
In addition to taking registrations in person at the studio, we’re now offering a new process for taking enrollment and registrations starting with the Fall I Session. We’re replacing our paper “Policies and Release” form with an annual online enrollment form to collect contact information, communicate studio policies and execute our waiver agreement.
This will improve the accuracy and timeliness of our contact information and ensure we’re up to date with communicating polices and waivers. We’re asking our participants (or their parents for those under 18) to complete the enrollment form once per year, starting with the Fall I Session. To complete our enrollment form, please click the link or visit our website at https://www.trokanski.com/enrollment.
Once we receive your enrollment form, we’ll share a link for our new online registration form. This form will be used to request classes each session. Please note that the registration form is a class request form. Class placement is dependent on space availability and dancer skill level.
Upon receipt of the class registration form by the studio, we’ll confirm registration in the requested classes and provide a tuition total and payment instructions. Now you can register for classes anytime, anywhere, once registration is open for a session!
Of course, we’re still happy to help you with enrollment and registration at the studio!
If you need help with the online enrollment you can come to the studio during office hours, and staff will be happy to help.
Please remember that it is important that you have saved space by confirming with the office if you are planning to take a class at the studio. If you are a registered tuition student, we are already saving a place for you so you don't need to call in every week. If you are using a dance card or want to do a paid single, then calling the office at 530-756-349 is the easiest way to make sure there's a space for you in class. It's important to give the office at least 3 hours' notice before coming to the studio.
Safety protocol updates:
While we no longer require masks, we do have a zero-tolerance policy for colds, coughs, and sniffles for everyone on site.
If you have allergies you should continue to wear a mask, as you can't be sure if it's just allergies or it's allergies and you're beginning to come down with something.
Importantly, if you or your child has a cold or other illness, it is important that you still stay home. Remember the old days, before the pandemic? We still asked people to stay home if they were sick. It might be just a "little cold" for your child but no one else wants it. What is the saying? Germs are the one thing we don't want to share.
Thank you for helping us keep ALL of our dancers healthy!
