The Ballroom of Reno news & updates
July 30, 2020

days left until classes start!

We can't wait to see you back in the studio on August 3 rd!
Come check out the renovations we are doing around The Ballroom!

We hope you like what we've done with the place, and please pardon our dust as we continue to make improvements.
We appreciate your patience and support through these challenging times. Without all of you, we would not have been able to survive the shutdown and the reduced capacity for the foreseeable future.

In order to help with the cost associated with the additional studio cleaning and the reduced class offerings, we will not be offering free classes at this time. However, we are committed to providing those classes again in the near future, as soon as the Governor relaxes restrictions on our operation. Thank you for your understanding!
Precautions in Place
In order to comply with the Governor’s mandates, we have implemented several changes to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. These changes include:

Operating with a limited capacity.  To help us do this, we are asking that everyone pre-register for classes using the MINDBODY app. This will allow us to ensure no more than 50 people (including staff) are in the building at any time, and will limit the necessity for interacting with the front desk. Click here for instructions on using the MINDBODY app. Also, in order to abide by the capacity limit, please try not to arrive for class too early and please leave promptly when your class is over.

Taking the temperature of everyone entering the studio.  Those with a temperature of 100F or greater will not be permitted to enter.

Masks must be worn by everyone in the studio at all times.  If you do not have a mask, a disposable one will be provided to you prior to entering the studio. Gloves are not required but are available upon request. Hand sanitizer is available and everyone is strongly encouraged to use it as needed, in addition to frequent hand washing.

Observing social distancing guidelines. There are tape marks along the edges of the floor at 6 foot intervals to assist with social distancing when on the dance floor. Also, tables and chairs have been moved and/or rearranged to allow for proper social distancing while putting on shoes and waiting for classes. Please do not remove the tape or move the tables and chairs from their places.

Increased cleaning. Staff will be wiping down commonly touched surfaces like doors with disinfectant between each class. We ask that you help us out and wipe down any tables/chairs you touched before you leave.

We are limiting the number of classes offered at any time.  All classes will take place on the main floor to allow for proper social distancing.

All classes are currently contactless.  We will update you on additional class offerings as soon as they become available.
