We understand that many of our families are concerned about the health and safety of their children amid the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. We want you to feel confident that we are taking our responsibility seriously to keep the studio clean.
We are continuing our regular studio sanitation schedule and we are disinfecting the studio regularly. We routinely, disinfect common surfaces and provide hand sanitizing stations throughout the facility. We will continue to remind our students to keep hands to themselves.
We are reviewing the latest CDC information, and will continue to follow the most current information.
We ask that you do not come to the studio if you or your child are ill.
As always, we will provide you with a make-up class.
In the event of a cancellation or postponement,
we will notify you as soon as possible.
While we know potential cancellations and disruptions are not ideal, the health and well-being of our dancers and families must be our top priority.
How You Can Help
In alignment with guidelines from the
CDC
and other governmental entities, we are instituting the following practices for all of our classes. These practices help maintain health and well-being during the general flu season, and during the potential emergence of COVID-19.
- Please stay home if you are feeling unwell. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and last anywhere from 2-14 days. Stay attuned to the CDC’s recommendations and visit a healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
- If you or your student have traveled or had prolonged contact with someone who has traveled to an affected area, please wait 14 days before coming to a dance class. We will assist you in scheduling a make-up class. Any absences due to this policy will not impact the students
- Please encourage your young dancers to bow, curtsey, or wave rather than hugging or high-fiving before and after class. Urge all dancers to keep hands to themselves.
- Wash your hands often with soap or use a commercial hand sanitizer. We strongly recommend doing this before and after any class that uses barres, chairs, or props!
- Use tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, then discard it immediately and wash your hands. If a tissue is unavailable, use your elbow or upper sleeve to cover your mouth and nose. Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands.
