Due to NEW (as of this evening) Province wide restrictions, we will have to temporarily stop BVC in studio classes until the government releases new guidelines. 🙁 I am staying positive that this will happen quickly and we can get our dancers back in studio in no time. All Tuesday classes will ...be cancelled, I will be emailing parents of children who regularly come tomorrow, November 24th in the morning with further details. We are in this together
