CLINTON â Novemberâs COVID closures forced Carousel Dance Studio to postpone its winter performance, moving it from Dec. 19 to Feb. 6.
The performance was scheduled for Saturday at Clinton High Schoolâs Vernon Cook Theater. But dance instructor Linda Luckstead was never sure when Clinton schools would have class, and studentsâ practices correlate with school days.
Then on Nov. 17, Carousel posted on its Facebook page that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds had mandated the closure of dance studios. Carousel told dancers that it would postpone its winter show and would resume class when the governor allowed.
