  • For our younger dancers (18 months to 5 year old), catch our wildly popular themed VirtualDDF Dance Parties on Wednesday mornings, or join our preschool-age drop-in classes on Tuesday afternoons
  • For those looking for a morning filled with dance, our week-long VirtualDDF Summer Workshops run Monday through Friday throughout the summer
  • For more advanced dancers ready for a serious challenge, ask us about our week-long Intensives (registration approval subject to dance level).
  • For those wanting a more flexible schedule or to add on to the Workshops or Intensives, join our ‘Kindergarten and up’ Drop-Ins almost every afternoon

Joining is easy. Just click here for our VirtualDDF Summer page, and scroll to select the program you’d like to join. For a FREE trial class**, mention FIDI families. For further information please email us anytime.

* When it is deemed safe, we hope to return to the studio. So if you’re interested in in-person classes, please email us to be added to our mailing list.

JUST ANNOUNCED: 

NYC’s Open Restaurant Program is an effort to implement a citywide multi-phase program to expand outdoor seating options for restaurants and bars to promote open space, enhance social distancing, and help them rebound in these difficult economic times.

NYC’s approach prioritizes geographic equity and allows us to reach the areas most impacted by COVID-19.

This program is designed to assist existing restaurants and bars that have been authorized by the Governor of the State of New York to re-open under Phase Two and want to use outdoor areas on a temporary basis. This application is only for restaurants and bars seeking permission to place outdoor seating in front of their establishment on the sidewalk and/or roadway. You do not need to apply to place outdoor seating on private property.

To learn more, please visit the NYC.gov website HERE.
