A Message from Ms. Cook

Hello Dancers!  

I am excited you are accessing this page and I know you have MANY questions about how this is going to work and how you will be able to manage all of this new learning from home.  First, please make sure you are taken care of with basic needs.  If you find yourself without proper food, clothing, shelter or hygiene, CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!  Second, if you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed or frustrated, that is normal.  We all need support right now and I am here to help you in any way possible.  Third, if you are unhappy with your level or amount of provided coursework, please understand that I am working to make this appropriate and accessible for a wide range of people.  You can always do more than what is asked and you can even jump in and assist others who might be struggling.  I always loved this quote from Mr. Rogers (if you don't know who he is, take this time to binge the old PBS shows on YouTube!)

When you click next, there will be a video where I share an orientation to this course and what you need to complete to let me know you have accessed the material.  I'm sure questions will arise, so please use the discussion board provided to ask them.  That way, others who have the same questions can get help faster.  Don't worry, I will show you how to use the discussion board in the video!

Love and miss you all!
