Health and Safety Protocol

Due to the changing circumstances of the Covid-19 epidemic the studio will continue to follow what is advised by NC state department. Private lessons and coaching may be arranged both in studio and virtually upon request, when arranged during the daytime with teacher & studio availability.

All dancers & staff at the studio will be required to follow safety controls, including the commitment to participate only when there is no evidence of health problems in themselves or family members. If your dancer travels outside of the country, please notify us prior to coming back to the studio.

Barres will be sanitized after each class usage. Surfaces will be sanitized consistently using hospital grade cleaner.

The requirement for masks will be dependent on the recommendations for dance studios at the time. If masks are required, they will need to be a well-fitting one that covers the nose and mouth.

Please check with our parent portal or call 919-303-1105 for the current requirement.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ARRIVING AT THE STUDIO

  • Parents are asked to drop their students off 15 minutes before their class time (not any earlier) and wait until their child enters the building prior to leaving.
  • Students are to come to the studio fully dressed for their lesson/rehearsal, other than their dance shoes that should be carried in a bag. To help with social distancing and the closely timed schedule please do not be late for the lesson.
  • Students are to bring their own mask, sanitizer, water bottle & yoga mat (optional) for stretching. Please have all belongings in a bag.
  • In studio training is limited in each classroom to allow for dancers to be safely spaced for precautions based on what is recommended by state authorities.
  • After the lesson students will be directed to the front studio and will exit the entrance door.  Due to the timing of the scheduled classes parents are asked to arrive on time to pick up their dancer. Dancers will be asked to wait in the front studio until their ride arrives. For security, dancers are not to wait outside for their ride without adult supervision. If someone other than their parents that our staff has met, please notify our office prior to their lesson.
  • The lobby area is limited in space. Please keep it available for our staff & students between lessons and rehearsals. If entering the building, check in with our front desk person.
  • Parents are asked to have young dancers use the bathroom at home prior to arriving at the studio to avoid more bathroom trips than necessary. All belongings except for what they need in the classroom are to be stored in the cubbies in the dressing room. Lockers are available for company members.
