Safety Guidelines and Information:
Here are some changes you will see in our facility and policies:
Masks and class activities:
- Masks are required for parents and dancers to enter end exit facility.
- We encourage students ages 6 and up to wear a disposable paper mask or other face covering that is easy to breathe in throughout the duration of the class for the protection of themselves and others. We know that when everyone wears a mask, everyone is more protected. We appreciate you having this conversation with your dancer and having them try.
- We understand that not everyone can wear a face covering. If there is a specific reason that your dancer should not wear a face covering, please let us know ahead of time.
- Instructors will plan classes to accommodate a slow build up to more aerobic activity over time, and will check in with how students are feeling.
- Class activities will be structured to maintain the maximum distance possible between dancers.
- Floors and barres will be taped off with a space for each dancer to help maintain physical distancing
