Overview of what you need for a successful LIVE experience with us!
I just wanted to clarify what you will need for a successful online experience with us. I know that you are receiving lots of information from your different schools as well. So I just wanted to break it down and reiterate where you can access the materials needed to make this as easy as possible for you all:)
What you Need for your dancers LiveStream Classes:
Gomotion app- If you have yet to download the gomotion app we highly suggest you do so now. This is the easiest way to access your parent portal with us and to view communications and reminders. It will also come in handy with accessing your live stream classes. As you will see later in this message. Once you've downloaded the app, you will be able to log in to your Parent Portal account with the same login information you use when logging in online.
Hangout Meets by Google App- If you will be joining your dancers live stream classes via mobile phone, you will need to download this app to do so. You can find this app in your devices app store. Once it is downloaded on your device, it will ask you to log in to your Gmail account. Once you’ve done that, simply click on your dancers class live stream link and it will open the app and ask you to join the session. If you do not have their link, you can access it at any time via the gomotion app. Simply go to the >News section and then click on the article named >Class Livestream links & dropbox links and then scroll to your dancers class level to get your link. You can also just enter the access code to join the meeting. Which is the letters at the end of your link without the hyphens.
To join us live via a computer, you will not need an app. You will just copy your dancer's Livestream link into your browser and you will be able to join that way as well.
Your dancer’s individual class Livestream links saved- Our weekly classes are streamed via GoogleMeets. As mentioned above, you can access the links to your dancer's classes at any time via the gomotion app. Simply go to the >News section and then click on the article named> Class Livestream links & dropbox links and then scroll to your dancers class. This link will remain the same each week.
Join our Facebook group for students- If you have FB we highly suggest joining our group for students. This is a great way to stay up to date on information that is being sent out. Just search ‘Thea’s Dance Academy’s Students’ and request to join!
-With the above apps and resources, you will be all set for your weekly live classes. Now, to access the additional resources we have sent you as a bonus, you will need the following.
The Dropbox link for your dancers class level- In order to access the saved videos that we have made for your dancers, including the recital routine videos and their recordings of live classes. You will need to go to the specified Dropbox folder for these. Each week we are adding videos to these folders that your kids can use to practice at home. You can find their link to this folder any time via the gomotion app. Simply go to the >News section and then click on the article named> Class Livestream links & dropbox links and then scroll to your dancers class. Under their Livestream class links, you will see the dropbox link for all classes at that level. You do not need to have a dropbox account to access these. You can also download the videos from this folder to your device if you'd like.
CLI Studios Account- If you want to access any of the dance videos that CLI offers then you will just need to use the following link to create your account. We’ve already covered the subscription cost and this is FREE to you. There are thousands of videos from the world’s most sought after choreographers available with a single click:) Many of the videos that we will be suggesting for your dancers will be through this site. This is not mandatory but is just a great bonus!
