Front entrance doors have been marked for each studio. Dancers, please wear a mask, maintain proper social distance, and wait outside your studio entry door until the previous class has exited and your instructor invites you in.
- Remove your street shoes. Please do not wear your dance shoes into the building. You may change into them when you arrive. Staff is available to help younger dancers.
- Your teacher will sanitize your hands with a CDC approved hand sanitizer.
-
Your teacher will conduct a visual health screening at the door. If we note any symptoms listed in the Home Health Check, we will ask the dancer to wait outside. We will check your dancer’s temperature, and consult with the parent or caregiver. If there is reasonable doubt regarding the health of any dancer, we will ask the child to go home.
-
Parents should remain in their cars or outside the building. Parents may leave the premises if they wish as long as they return by the end of their child’s class time. Please be sure we have a current cellphone number for you on file.
- Stay in your dance area as designated by your instructor. Class sizes are limited to the allowable number of students and instructors able to be present in each studio and the building as a whole at one time. Your instructor has marked spaces that will allow dancers to maintain social distance while in the studio.
- Mask use
VDH has stated that masks may be removed while exercising if social distancing is maintained. Dancers who wish to remove their masks during class may do so if they wish. Instructors will not remove their masks while teaching.
- Water. We have restricted the use of our water fountains to refilling reusable bottles only. Students may not drink directly from the fountains at this time. Dancers are permitted to bring water in a container with a lid into the studio with them. Juice, soda, or sports drinks are not permitted in our studios. These options may only be consumed in our lobbies or eating areas. Please refrain from sending your child with anything other than water unless they have a snack or lunch break.
- Creative Movement Props. Our youngest dancers use scarves, beanbags, and musical instruments during their class. To help protect them from COVID-19, we are requiring Creative Movement dancers to purchase a personal prop bag for $10. They will bring their bags to each class and use their own materials instead of sharing.
- Parents please wait outside the studio door to pick up your child. Dancers will no longer be released to you if you are waiting in your car.
- Please be on time. If you are late it takes time away from the next class while the instructor finds a safe supervised space for your dancer to wait for you to arrive. If you know you are going to be late due to an unforseen occurance (train, traffic) please notify us by calling the office.
- Masks must be worn in the common areas
- Please maintain proper social distancing while traveling through lobbies and hallways
- Ensure your pick-up person knows which studio door you will be exiting from.
- If you exit from a different studio than you entered, please move your street shoes inbetween classes to your exit doorway and then sanitize your hands.
- Masks must be worn in the common areas at all times except when eating.
- Please maintain proper social distancing.
- Use the cubbies in the tile lobby or the spaces under the tile lobby chairs to store your beloningings to keep them apart. We ask that you try to store your belongings in the tile lobby because it is easier to sanitize the hard floor, and dancers who have breaks typically are scheduled in studios 1 & 2. Therefore, you do not need to travel throughout the building to find your belongings.
Should the need arise, our restrooms may be used. Wearing a mask, please enter through the Studio 3 entrance door. Remove your shoes at the door and sanitize your hands. Walk straight to the back of the building where you should see two black restroom doors to your right. When you are finished, please exit the building promptly, and sanitize your hands as you leave.
