COVID-19 Policies & Procedures for Live Dance Classes

All dance classes have a limited number of spaces available due to distancing protocols that must be followed. There will also be four spots available for each class to have remote students join via Google Meet. (Upper level students must be approved by their instructor for remote lessons)  These policies/procedures are subject to change without notice.

 

Class Set-Up

Each student will be assigned to a section of the room that is 6’ from the other students and the instructor.

They will have their own equipment that will be sanitized before and after every class.

We are discontinuing the use of carpet squares and books for the foreseeable future.

 

Health Monitoring

We will ask the staff/instructors/students to self-monitor their health and stay home if they present with a mild cough or low-grade fever (100.4 or above).

 

All Students

  • Students are asked to bring their own water bottles and yoga mats (when necessary) to minimize shared equipment.
  • Students are asked to bring all dance shoes each week. We will be minimizing the number of shoes that can be borrowed or shared. 
  • We will be opening windows to increase air circulation whenever possible. Please make sure to dress accordingly as the studio may be warm or cool depending on the weather.

 

Creative Movement and Pre-Level Classes

  • Each class will have a staggered entrance. Classes will either enter/exit through the east door (the door by the ramp) or the north door (double door on Park Street side). 
  • Students may enter no more than 5 minutes before class.
  • Parents and students need to have face coverings on when entering and exiting the building. 
  • Upon entry parents and students should proceed to their assigned area.
  • Parents will need to quickly help their students change their shoes at the beginning and end of each class. An extra 15 minutes has been built into the schedule to allow for this.
  • Parents will not be able to stay and watch class. They are asked to wait outside for their students.

 

Level I through Adult Classes

  • Each class will have a staggered entrance. Classes will either enter/exit through the east door (the door by the ramp) or the north door (double door on Park Street side). 
  • Students may enter no more than 5 minutes before class.
  • Students need to have face coverings on when entering and exiting the building.
  • Upon entry students should proceed to their assigned area and prepare for class.
  • Students are asked to quickly gather their belongings and exit class when dismissed. This must be done in a timely manner to allow for sanitization before the next class.
  • Students will wait in a designated area for their parent/guardian to arrive.
