"Words fall short of the sorrow we continue to feel. Moving into the week ahead, our focus is on supporting our CC & Co. dancers, families and teachers as they grieve and heal. The decision has been made to resume classes. We feel that it is important to provide a safe environment to offer support & community," the dance studio said in a letter to parents.
Grief counselors will be at the dance studio in a private area so as to be able to talk to dancers, families and staff as needed. A remembrance memorial will be set up in the lobbies of the dance studio's Six Forks and Falls Neuse locations.
