Salve!
We have some upcoming changes to academy operations and want everyone to be aware of them.
Chicago Mask Mandate
Starting tomorrow (Friday, August 20th) Chicago requires all indoor activities to be masked until the current surge lowers to 400 new cases/day. We sadly will be forced to enforce this mandate. We will keep our eyes open for updates and as soon as we see any changes we will update you.
Required Class Registration
As many of you know, Gata and I are expecting their first child in October. We live in Schaumburg and our commute is 40-60 min each way. With a new baby, we’re wanting to cut down on any unnecessary trips to the city. Some days there are no students attending in-person classes and we end up driving 1.5 hours to/from the city to teach online. To avoid this, we will require at least 1 person to register for class at least 2 hours prior to the start time. If we cancel in person, we will still hold the online session (if applicable) regardless. Please, get in the habit of registering regardless as we haven’t set up a touchless check-in system in the front.
Samba Schedule
Gata will continue teaching Samba classes on Wednesdays ONLY until September 8th. Pending delivery date and her recovery, the earliest the samba classes will resume will be in December. We’ll keep you posted!
Thank You!
We cannot express the gratitude we feel toward each and every member of our capoeira/samba family. During the pandemic, you all were determined to support us and the academy through a time where MANY businesses had to shut down. Thanks to you we are able to be together still. Now, with our baby on the way, we've been showered with gifts and love which makes us supremely confident that she will grow up surrounded by an amazing group of individuals.
