Studio Update:
Hello Dancers,
The virus is upon us. As a responsible American small business owner and due to the nature of the dance business being a "close contact sport", I have decided to take precautions to ensure that I will be available to teach you in the (hopefully) near future. For your safety as well as mine the studio will be completely closed for lessons and practicing for the next two weeks. I will take this time to clean and disinfect all surfaces as well as attend to a few projects to make the studio even more efficient. I appreciate your patience and encourage you all to take an active role in "social distancing" to help stop the spread of the virus. You can still practice your dancing on your own or with your regular partner and you can do your best to stay healthy. All studio news will be posted on this page for the immediate future.
-Travis Kokkeler, Owner

The plan is for the studio to re-open for lessons on Monday, March 30. If you are interested in lessons via the internet then please contact me. Future lessons are still being scheduled to be taught. I will be in touch with each of you to confirm your next lesson.

Hello Dancers!
As you can see by the above Executive Order No. 20-12 "dance studios" are not to be in operation. So, in light of this all in-studio lessons previously purchased are currently on hold and will remain valid through this emergency.
Personal Note:
This is my livelihood for 25 years. This is big to me. To have my normal way of doing business and my sole source of income erased immediately requires careful thinking and a new plan of action. So, please bear with me as I navigate how to maintain teaching you the good stuff about dancing. To that end:
ONLINE CLASSES!
I am currently in process of setting up a system to teach both private,group and perhaps even some dance exercise classes. My goal is to have this complete this month. This will entail me teaching you from the studio and you receiving the information on your choice of computer or mobile device. Also, you may have opportunity to sample some classes that before you just didn't have time for. Now you do!
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Be patient. None of us caused this change but we all have to deal with it.
2. Keep your own self healthy in both your body and mind.
3. Support DWT by signing up for the classes that are available.
4. Practice.
5. Pray for your country, city, household, yourself.
I believe this is a temporary situation. However, I also believe that my original definition of "temporary" is being stretched. Stay the course with me.
