Dear Parents, Carers, and Dancers of CSOD
Please read this disclaimer before continuing, notes added by Becca (the voice of reason):
"Given the heat your ability to maintain the differing parts of your brain have blurred and the outcome is humour mixed with the serious facts of the matter"
To begin,
We have successfully hit every single cancellation criteria at the exact same time, I'm taking this as a WIN!
π POLICY BREAKDOWN:
1οΈβ£ Unavailable teacher:
I am physically and mentally out of office.
2οΈβ£ Health epidemic:
I am, and I'm sure from the messages received, that many of our Adults are also suffering this week from a severe outbreak of a condition called "life."
It is highly contagious and exhausting.
3οΈβ£ Severe weather conditions:
It is (insert own choice of phrase/word) HOTπ₯π‘
The studio can only be compared to what I'm going to term as "A human air fryer" despite best efforts to get cold air in, we are instead circulating the heat of the day and sweaty body's which turns our floor into an ice rink and our dancers into figure skaters
(Two lessons for the price of One π)
4οΈβ£ Other unforeseen events:
I can officially confirm I did not foresee any of this happening when I opened the school.
π₯΅ THE REALITY CHECK:
Over the last 24 hours, my inbox has been flooded with absences.
Heat/sunstroke & sunburn βοΈ
Dehydration & exhaustion π΄
Tummy aches & headaches π€
Out-of-character behaviour π«ͺ
One "unknown" (which definitely means the Pinnells are in a beer garden somewhere π»)
As the school owner, but more importantly, as a parent with children whose brains buffer in the heat, I know this is the right decision to make for our studio and students.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The Good News: No chauffeuring in a boiling car this week! Go buy an ice lolly, sit in front of a fan and under an umbrella, and pray for rain! π¦βοΈ
P.S. While the humour in this message is very real (mostly to stop myself from crying into a fan), the cancellation is 100% official. See you all next week when hopefully it's safe to dance without melting! π«
Thank you everyone,
Miss Vonny and an AI robot π€ with some of Becca!
