Cambridge School

Club Pilates Princeton

While summer is a time for “fun in the sun,” without regular practice and reinforcement, academic content knowledge and skill application are susceptible to regression. A plethora of research cites the importance of instruction over the summer months in order to prevent the summer slide.

While some regression is expected for all children over the summer months, children with learning differences are often profoundly affected by the lapse in instruction. The best remedy for regression is to prevent it, and summer programs focusing on remedial, accelerated, or enriched learning have been shown to have a positive effect on students’ content and skill retention (Cooper et al., 2000).

Cambridge School’s Virtual Summer Program offers a unique opportunity for students to continue receiving academic instruction in the morning and to participate

While we shelter-at-home, Club Pilates Princeton is proud to offer at-home virtual classes to help you build a Pilates foundation from the comfort of your living room.

No matter your age, lifestyle or fitness level, Club Pilates offers classes designed for your specific needs and abilities.

Our live virtual classes are small and personalized just like our in-studio experience. With less than 12 people in each class, our certified instructors are able to interact with each class attendee to ensure you are getting the most out of your Pilates workout. Each instructor brings their own knowledge, energy, and experience which creates a new and fun workout every time.

Pilates can help you with a strong core, a balanced mind, a flexible body and more energ y to conquer your day.

Princeton Dance and Theater Studio (PDT) is offering more summer dance options than ever before. Several new programs and classes will join its nationally acclaimed summer intensives, and classes will be offered both in-person (if the state of N.J. allows) and live online via Zoom.

Director Risa Kaplowitz said, “We are known for our personal and detailed approach to training and we still accomplish this even when the student is taking class in his or her living room.”

Still, she is hopeful that if Gov. Murphy allows small gatherings, as many as 10 students will be able take class in-person in their large studio with the doors open and masks on faces alongside a screen of students who prefer to take class at home. “We are hoping to teach hybrid classes, enabling everyone to dance safely,” said Kaplowitz.

In addition to PDT’s iBallet Summer Intensive for students ages 11 to 22 and its Young Dancer Summer Intensive for ages 8 to 11, there are also evening and weekend classes for children ages 2 to adult taught by the same American Ballet Theater National Training
