We are pleased to be able to welcome students back to in-person classes here at the studio!  We been working hard to implement health procedures based on Massachusetts and CDC guidelines, under which dance is classified to be able to offer the safest environment for all. We are closely monitoring policy changes and public health organizations and will continue to make changes, as necessary.  The plan below, along with personal responsibility, presents our best efforts to keep our dancers, families, and staff safe.

​
FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS
Any student, guardian, staff member or parent that has flu-like symptoms, any symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 14 days, has had any close contact with someone who is suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 in the past 14 days, or has traveled outside of Massachusetts on public transportation in the past 14 days, we ask that you please not attend class or enter the studio.
FACE COVERING
​Everyone is required to wear a face covering or mask while in the studio at all times.

TEMPERATURE CHECKS​
Faculty and staff will be checking their temperature while at the studio.
WAITING ROOM
Massachusetts Safe Reopening guidelines recommend that our waiting room be closed to limit the amount of people in our facility.  Dancers under the age of 7, may be accompanied by an adult into the studio, but no one is permitted to stay in the waiting room.  Dancers over the age of 7, should be dropped off and picked up at the front door of the building.
​
LIMITS ON CLASS SIZES
Per Massachusetts guidelines, our class size limits will be set by allowing for at least 6 feet of distance between dancers at all times. Each student will have an assigned square and/or a spot on the floor and at the barre which will help to give dancers the optimal amount of space to continue practicing social distancing.
​
DANCER BELONGINGS
Dancers should arrive dressed and ready for class (except shoes). Each dancer will have a designated area for their belongings.  Dance shoes can be changed into from our waiting room in available chairs that are set 6 feet apart.
​
STUDIO CLEANLINESS & SANITATION
Following the CDC Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting, each studio will be cleaned and dance equipment and props will be disinfected between each class.  Staff will frequently clean and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces (e.g., door handles), and equipment at a minimum every 2 hours while the facility is open. H13 HEPA Air purifiers are located in all 3 studios.  All cleaning materials are EPA-approved disinfectants against COVID-19 per CDC guidelines.
​
HAND CLEANSING AND WASHING
Hand sanitizer stations are at each entrance and studio.  You will be required to use these upon arrival.  All faculty, staff and dancers will be required to wash their hands regularly.  The CDC recommends this as one of the best practices to avoid transmission of the virus.
​

​RESTROOMS
​To minimize usage, please use the restroom prior to coming to the studio.  

WATER
Students, faculty and staff should bring their own water bottle to the studio.
​
