Dear ARCB Friends! It has been two years since we closed the studio and we often think about the many wonderful families who were part of ARCB over the nearly twenty years the studio was opened. We are humbled to still receive frequent class inquiries, and wanted to take a moment to provide updated information:
Although ARCB is permanently closed for in-person classes, Nikolai and I continue to teach private lessons, adult virtual ballet, and part-time in-person classes at Brighton School of Ballet and The Studio in South Lyon. We no longer check the studio email or phone, so please stay in contact on social media! We love seeing updates on our former students and we wish everyone all the best!
Fondly, Jessica and Nikolai

Today would have been our year-end production of Cinderella. We were really looking forward to this ballet, and seeing our students perform! We miss everyone very much, and are so sad to have had to cancel the production. The health and safety of our dancers and their families are most important. We are looking forward to being back in the studio and presenting performances again in the future. Stay safe and healthy 💕

Dear Parents and Students,

Wixom Location - We will have our end of the year clean out this Saturday. Please email the studio no later than tomorrow with a list of items your child left at the studio back in March. We will organize the items in advance and have them ready for drive-by, contactless pick-up this Saturday. We kindly ask that everyone remain in their vehicle and have a sign with the dancers name to post in the window of your vehicle.

Dear Parents, Students and Friends,
As a result of COVID-19, It is with great sadness that we have decided to postpone our spring production of Cinderella. We know our students will be sad and disappointed, as are we. Students had been working so hard in rehearsals before we had to close in March, and we were so excited to see everyone perform. This will be the first time in nearly twenty years we will not have a spring performance. We feel for the young dancers who would have been performing in their first show, our seasoned dancers who were excitedly looking forward to a new production and our older dancers who would have been dancing in their final show with ARCB. The new normal we are facing is challenging and difficult for all. We miss our ARCB family. Please stay safe and healthy, and we will see you all in the studio when we can safely return.
Stay Safe & Healthy,
Jessica & Nikolai
