In the interest of everyone’s health and safety, we’re going to wait until July to resume classes. We’re all excited and cautious to return to the studio. We miss everyone. Online classes keep us moving and have been an amazing way to stay connected, BUT they are just not the same as being in the room together. We all miss that energy so much.
Before you come to class, check in with your body. If you are feeling less than fabulous, including, but not limited to flu or COVID-like symptoms, please stay home and take care of you. Please keep the health of your fellow dancers in mind. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, have test positive, or you have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you refrain from coming to the studio for at least 14 days.
Occupancy restrictions and social distancing mean that space is limited to 7 participants for non-pole classes and 4 participants for pole classes. Many classes will be offered in shortened series to allow for greater flexibility in offering discount cards. If you become sick with or exposed to COVID-19, and need to quarantine, please contact your instructor. We may need to notify your classmates. Also, other students may be interested in a spot in that class. If you reserve a spot and do not attend a class, your credits are non-refundable. Our teachers appreciate your commitment during this time.
We ask that you follow these protocols before attending dance class:
1. Check temperature before you attend. Do not attend dance class with any flu, Covid-19 or sickness symptoms in the past 48 hours.
2. Sign Up in advance for classes.
3. Sign the new Assumption of Risk Agreement when you enter the building.
4. Sanitize your hands when entering the building and before departure.
5. Do not congregate in the lobby. Once you have checked in, please proceed to a spot in the studio. There are “x”‘s at 6 foot intervals.
6. Bring your own mat, towel, and props.
7. Wait in car or outside the door until your instructor calls you into the studio for check in.
8. This one is going to be difficult. Maintain at least 6 feet distance between each other at all times. No touching. No hugging. Air hugs, curtsies, and bowing are awesome.
9. Masks are required while in the building.
Our procedures:
1. We have thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
2. We will clean all high touch areas between classes as well as thoroughly clean daily.
3. All teachers are required to self-assess for any flu, Covid-19 or sickness symptoms. No teacher is permitted to teach with any symptoms.
4. We have set up tape to guide you to place yourself at least 6 feet away from other students.
5. No physical contact. No hugs, handshakes or physical assists.
6. Masks are required while in the building.
7. Some live classes may be streamed. We will mark out areas in the camera view so that you can decide whether or not you want to appear on camera.
