Ballet and Dance
Another week of showing phenomenal team spirit amongst our students has been displayed. We are delighted to see so many students progressing through class and working so hard. Our teachers are full of praise and we are very proud of the Redlands spirit shining through Zoom.
As the guidelines for social distancing are still in place, we are continuing to offer our classes online. Please see below and keep checking in here for details as we move into the next couple of weeks.
Guest Artists
We are very excited to announce that Ms Eloise Harpas will be coming to Redlands in Term 3 running workshops for some of our Jazz students. Eloise has an impressive CV covering stage, theatre, film, television, fashion, modeling and corporate work. She originally trained at Ettingshausens and on Scholarship at the Broadway Dance Centre in New York. She was recently seen in Australia’s Got Talent, Jack and the Beanstalk and has been working with Katy Perry, Sam Smith and Dua Lipa to name just a few of her outstanding recent achievements. Watch this space for news of the program with Eloise.
Reporting
The school is currently experiencing a technical problem which won’t allow our students to be marked present in some of our Ballet and Dance classes. The technical team is working hard to rectify this.

Ballet and Dance Classes Online and Guidelines
We continue to run all our Ballet and Dance classes online via Zoom until further notice. Parents and students will be notified in advance of any changes to this arrangement. Students who attend school on a day when they also attend an after school Ballet and Dance class must return home to attend online classes. If required, these students will be permitted to enter the online class late.
Ballet and Dance Classes Online and Guidelines
Supervision of Prep Students
Parents are responsible for the supervision of Prep students during online classes. It is always advised that there is a responsible adult present (in the vicinity of the computer) when a student is working online.
Suitability of Space
Please make sure that the Dance class is taking place in a suitable space. We do recommend 3m x 3m (or at least 2m x 2m) of clean floor space to allow for the students to actively take part in the class. Please also remove any items that could cause injury, including books, toys, pets etc.
Uniform
All students should wear their Dance uniform for class.
Opting Out of Online Ballet and Dance Classes
As advertised, our 2020 classes will all run online, via Zoom with very few exceptions, (performance groups) until further notice. Students who do not want to continue their Ballet and Dance classes online, must let the office know to allow for rebates to be put in place.
Marking the Roll
Class rolls will be marked as per normal practice. Please make all students aware. Students should join the class on time and remain in class throughout the online class.

Please note that the Term 2 timetable and codes for Google Classroom are displayed under Ballet and Dance Term 2 Online.
