As of 3/16/2020: It is time for us to practice social distancing, if you’re not already doing so.
(As of 3/18/2020 12:00am: We are now under a Shelter in Place.)
The studio will be closed through the end of March, more realistically until further notice. I am posting most of our real-time updates on Instagram; please give us a follow if you haven't already!
I will be creating some exercises y’all can access online to keep us in aerial shape during our time away (stay tuned for more details) We may be apart, but our splits, inversions, and grip strength will not suffer!
Sending so much love to our flyers & community at this time
If you have purchased classes, packages, or memberships, they will be on hold until we open again.
Asking for your Feedback
As I am quickly researching the best format(s) for offering classes online, I'd love to hear what format(s) work best for you!
Please fill out this quick survey so I can best provide for my student base.
My goal is to provide classes accessible for kids, teens, and adults.
(On a personal note: where I live, we have one internet provider at one speed. My husband will begin teaching his K-8 music classes online next week. Unfortunately my internet capabilities may be a huge factor in how I can proceed; if the showcase uploads are any indication - a three minute video upload can take me 3-8 hours via Google Photos.
I will create a Plan B or C, etc if the Live stream & full video uploads are not an option.)
Additionally, if you have an apparatus at home and would like to schedule an online private, I would love to find a way to work with you !
Thoughts on Income
I started this sentence with "as a small business owner" but truly, we are all impacted: this severely uncertain time has abruptly interfered with many peoples' incomes. I have received questions about ways to donate to the studio. Yes, donations help us cover business expenses when we cannot generate income; however, my fear is we have no idea how long our 'normal, daily lives' will be disrupted. If you are secure and looking to donate, I encourage supporting your local businesses and local artists.
But more importantly, donate to food banks and charities!
There are relief bills and assistance being approved in the state, and I am hopeful that will provide some financial aid for us all.
As for helping the studio and students, I do offer scholarships for flyers in need, as I want these classes to be accessible. Recently, some students have contributed by *donating classes* from their packages or purchases online. If you are wanting to contribute in this way, classes or packages can be purchased online or via Venmo to Kristen Krup or PayPal to klynnkrup@gmail.com.
Stay tuned for another update re: Online Classes/Exercises -
Be Well!!
