Tentative dates/subject to change
In the event of inclement weather or emergency closures, DDA will communicate class cancellations through the following channels:
- Email notifications
- Website announcements
- Social media updates (Facebook & Instagram)
- Studio phone line: Call 201.819.7989 and listen to the voicemail message
(Check at least one hour before your scheduled class time.)
Make-up classes are not provided if the studio must close due to weather conditions or emergencies. However, if there are more than two emergency closures in a school year, DDA will allow affected students to either attend a comparable group class for a make-up or schedule a separate make-up class, subject to availability and instructor approval.
