COVID-19 Protocols and Procedures

--NO parents will be allowed inside the building. You will drop your child off at the door of their specific studio to their teacher or assistant. If you have to use the restroom, please do not hesitate to go! :) If you need to speak with an office person, please make sure there are not a lot of other parents there. We will make exceptions during the first few weeks of class for the younger classes, but please exit the building as soon as your little one has entered the classroom.

-- NO STREET SHOES on the dance floors. This has always been a rule to protect our floors, but it will be strongly enforced to protect the health of our dancers (imagine what you walk through on a daily basis and then think of your dancer possibly rolling around in it). 

-- CHANGED 3/15/2022 - ONLY the unvaccinated are required to wear a mask in our facilities until further notice and/or we see a spike in numbers for Chesterfield County.

*Previous protocol (ended 3/15/2022): ALL persons in our facility will wear a mask at all times (regardless of vaccination status). Masks are the only thing proven to help stop the spread of the virus, and we will continue to do our part for the good of our community. We will monitor the dancers closely, and will give breaks to "breathe" throughout class. If at any time, your dancer feels lightheaded, we ask that they go immediately (they do not have to ask the teacher) to their designated chair, and remove the mask.  Please go over how to properly wear a mask with your dancer (covering the mouth and nose).

--Once your child enters the building, they will be taken to wash their hands.  Hand sanitizer will be available in all studios, but we prefer hand washing.    

--Only one backpack per dancer can be carried into the building, and there will be a designated area for each child to put their belongings.  

--NO ONE should enter the building if they are sick, and ANY COVID-19 cases that arise should be brought to our attention immediately. In the event that a student tests positive, we will notify the affected classes immediately, and make sure the building is well-sanitized before letting anyone else reenter.

--We have not adjusted our schedule for cleaning times before and after each class. Therefore, your child's class may start and/or end 5 minutes late/early. Please bear with us, and know that we are doing our best to keep your children safe and healthy. ALL hard surfaces in the studio are sprayed with MicroBan on a daily basis and air filters are changed once a month by Clean Air Solutions.

We will take EVERY precaution to help keep your children safe, but please understand that this does not mean we can guarantee their safety when it comes to COVID-19. 

Please go over these rules with your dancer so that we can have a safe and healthy season 😊
