As a 501c3 non profit charitable organization, the Anthony Burrell Center for Dance relies on the financial support of organizations, friends, family, & the community. As many small businesses are being heavily impacted due to the COVID-19 epidemic, your tax deductible contribution will go towards continuing our programming. The Government-backed PPP program has added over $500B in funding assistance to small businesses, but the Anthony Burrell Center for Dance and 90% of minority owned businesses are in the group of over 40,000 small businesses across America, who unfortunately have not been able to access these resources because of the politics of big banks. Help us to keep the arts alive. We thank you for your generosity.

As we continue to monitor the widespread pandemic of the corona virus, we have decided to remain consistent with Fulton County School Calendar and remain closed while our government, health, and local officials continue to make strides in keeping our families safe. As of now, Fulton County will remain closed until March 20, but that is subject to change. All classes that are cancelled will be made up on weekends, and the season may be extended so that tuition is accommodated. The importance of dance education extends beyond the dance floor so there will be a few writing and dance assignments distributed to all academy members while we are out on break. Anthony will be working with instructors and staff on assignments and they will be distributed via email and GroupMe. In the meantime, please continue to be safe, wash your hands and understand that although our daily lives will be forever changed about how we approach the simplicities of life, together, staying educated and in formed, we will get through this together. Discipline. Dedication. Determination.
