1. COVID-19 Sustainability Emergency Fund

   With an abundance of caution Studio at 550 has shut its doors starting March 16, 2020. It is unclear as developments arise how long we will maintain closure. This fund is established to keep Studio at 550’s bills paid due to cancelled classes and rentals in the space as well as ongoing support as we continue our relocation plans due to redevelopment of our current location. 95% of Studio at 550 revenue is dependent on space rental (and programming in the space). First and foremost rental expenses must be paid in order for relocation to be viable. Secondly, as of writing this staff will receive no payment for the time closed. Anything you can contribute would be appreciated. We anticipate these expenses to be around $28,800.

NEW Initiative! ProLevelClass

This is for us. This is to build upon what we already have and grow to new levels together.

Starting in January Studio@550 is proud to announce our new #ProLevelClass initiative. This is for us. This is to build upon what we already have and grow to new levels together. Here are some details and how you can be involved:

Studio@550 will start offering professional level classes in two time frames: Sundays from 1-3, and during the week (M-F) from 10-11:30 (multiple days). These classes will not be rentals by the teachers, but sponsored by your contributions today. M-F morning class teachers will also have the option to hold their company rehearsal right after class. These rehearsals will also be subsidized by your contributions. Each class/rehearsal combination instance needs $86.50 of subsidy. If the classes get fully subsidized, the teachers/company directors will have the option to use the revenue from teaching class to pay their dancers for rehearsal, or put the money towards their next production. Each class/rehearsal needs $2335.50 subsidy for classes from January to June 2020. Our goal is to sponsor 2 class/rehearsal sessions.
