Kinner & Co. Dance Studio Inclement Weather Policy -

In the event of inclement weather that affects the driving conditions for a majority of our dancers or instructors, the studio will close and reopen when driving conditions are safe. An email will be sent to all enrolled students regarding any such closure. Closures will also be posted on the studio's Facebook page, Instagram account and the website. If inclement weather affects only a small portion of our students, the studio will remain open for those that are easily able to make it to classes. If driving conditions are unsafe for you, please contact the studio to help in keeping us informed.

As a side note, if public schools are closed due to snow or ice, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we will automatically close as well. We instruct dancers from all over Sangamon and Christian County who may not be affected by inclement weather. We are not a public school, therefore the final decision of a snow day rests with the owners of Kinner & Co. Dance Studio in the best interest of the majority of the students.

Classes that are missed due to inclement weather will be made up if/when the schedule allows.

Kinner & Co. staff seek to enrich the lives of students through valuable social interaction, joy of creative expression and a sense of physical accomplishment found only in the study of dance.
