Dear In Sync Families-
Once again, I would like to say THANK YOU for your support during this difficult time. I do have some great news for everyone! Initial walk throughs and inspections by structural engineers have determined that In Sync will be saved! There doesn’t appear to be any damage to In Sync at all!
Officials are now trying to determine if In Sync and Walgreens can continue to do business while our other business neighbors are being re-built or repaired. Fingers crossed that they find a way to make that work safely for everyone.
In the meantime… after reaching out to dozens of organizations, we have found temporary space for In Sync to function!
MONDAY – FRIDAY MORNING CLASSES (9:00am – 2:30) will take place in the function room on the 3rd floor of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce building at 180 Old Colony Ave in Quincy. There is both a back parking lot and another in the front of the building across the street. An In Sync staff person will be stationed at the bottom floor lobby to direct you. There is nice waiting area space for parents to relax while we are in class.
MONDAY – FRIDAY AFTERNOON DANCE AND MUSIC CLASSES (3:00 – 9:00pm) AND SATURDAY DANCE AND MUSIC CLASSES (8:30am-5:00pm)
will take place at Milton High School! We had a great deal of difficulty finding a location for afternoon classes and we could not be happier and more grateful to Milton superintendent, Mary Gormley, and our friends at Milton High School for opening their doors to us! This is truly an amazing gesture of good will and I am thrilled!

Drop off and Pick up will happen at the GYM-FIELDHOUSE entrance at the back of MHS. Parking in the fire lane and waiting for your child to come out of class will not be allowed. You must come inside for pick up. An In Sync Staff member will be stationed there for check in. MHS is doing their best to give parents a place to wait inside the school. An In Sync teacher will come down to the door to greet their class and walk them up to their class room and then will return them again! We have blocked off many rooms for our use, mainly rooms we have used in the past as changing and waiting rooms during recitals. We will be limited for parking and this transition will take some time so please give yourself enough time to get there and find your way.
This re-location will take a huge effort from In Sync, teachers, administrators, MHS administrators, teachers, students and custodial staff as well as parents. This was truly a community effort and we have never been more grateful. We will be showering our hosts with thanks while we are there and it would be wonderful if they could feel the appreciation from our In Sync community!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE EXTREMELY RESPECTFUL OF THE SPACES WE ARE BORROWING. SNACKS SHOULD NOT BE EATEN IN EITHER SPACE (this includes waiting areas) AND WANDERING THE BUILDINGS IS NOT ALLOWED. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WORKING AROUND US AND KEEP VOLUME DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, NO BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE PLACE DURING THIS TIME. IF YOU HAVE ACCOUNTS TO UPDATE, PAYMENTS TO MAKE OR REGISTRATIONS TO PROCESS, YOU MAY DO THAT ONLINE THROUGH THE INSYNC WEBSITE.
LASTLY, IF YOU HAVE A MOMENT, PLEASE EXPRESS YOUR THANKS TO THE QUINCY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MARY GORMLEY AND THE MILTON HS STAFF FOR WORKING TOGETHER TO GIVE OUR IN SYNC FAMILY A TEMPORARY HOME!
We do not know how long this situation will last. As soon as we know an end date, we will let you know. Again, we are thankful for so many things at this time. Most importantly, no one was injured in the roof collapse, we will be able to return to In Sync at some point, our community has opened it’s doors for us in this time of need, our teachers are going above and beyond to be flexible and give the best experiences possible, our In Sync families have been more than generous with their offerings, good wishes and heartfelt thoughts and messages. Please feel free to email us at insyncdance@comcast.net or leave a voice mail at the studio 617-328-5678. We are not there to answer but will be checking in and returning calls and emails periodically.
See you next week as In Sync goes on the road!
Thanks again for all of your support!
Sincerely,
Miss Teri and everyone at In Sync Center of the Arts
