COVID-19 Precautions

We are taking precautions to ensure our classes are safe for our dancers, families, and teachers.

These safety precautions will be put into place this year:

  • ALL teachers will wear face masks
  • Lobbies will be closed (parents MUST wait outside or drop off & come back)
    • Students will be dropped off at the door (classes in the downstairs studio will use the downstairs door)
  • Students will maintain 6 feet of distance - spots will be marked out on the floor
  • Class sizes will be smaller to ensure distancing
  • Students will have a designated area (spaced 6 feet apart) to place their belongings
  • Students must bring their own labeled & spill-proof water bottle
  • Barres, doorknobs, and other high-touch surfaces will be wiped down in between classes. UV light cleaners will be run nightly
  • Dancers who borrow shoes will NOT share with other students
  • The dressing room will be CLOSED. Dancers should arrive in class wear or change in the bathroom
  • Dancers should arrive on time (no early drop off) so dancers can maintain social distancing. Dancers will be dropped off at the door. Teachers will be waiting to help students into the studio
  • Face masks are REQUIRED for all students & teachers until NC enters Phase 3
  • Dancers will be required to sanitize their hands upon entering the studio and after changing shoes
  • Dancers should NOT attend class if they or anyone in their family has had symptoms of COVID-19 within the past two weeks
  • Dancers should NOT attend class if they are unwell at all
  • Make-up classes will not be offered this year so that students are only interacting with students from their class
