Public ticket sales were called off because of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. “We’re just glad to be able to present anything at all,” noted Chelsea Lea, the studio’s owner and choreographer. The original recital date was pushed two months because of the pandemic. The studio will host open enrollment starting Monday, with classes slated to begin Aug. 31. Future shows are “The Nutcracker” in December and “Big Blue World” next June.
