covid-19 response
As a valued member of our dance family, we wanted to reach out regarding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on our community and families and how we plan to reopen the studio.
We would like to reassure you that we are adhering to the CDC Guidelines as the health and wellbeing of our students, their families, and our staff are our top priority. We will continue to monitor and implement the local, state, and federal recommendations as they’re announced.
We take pride in our facility and how it operates and would like to highlight the policies we have in place at the studio to help our dance families stay healthy and have a safe reopening on June 15, 2020.
Prevention Steps in the Studio:
- We will have a modified class schedule of virtual and in-studio classes to limit the amount of people in the class. Please visit our website to view the Summer Camp schedule.
- While students are waiting for classes to start, please wait in cars until called in, parents must remain in cars.
- Street shoes will be left outside of the door. Students will wear socks at all times when on the dance floor.
- Bathroom breaks only in emergency situations, one at a time, sanitized in between classes.
- Please bring a bottle of water. No food allowed.
- Sanitizer: We have sanitizers in the studio and the bathroom and we encourage you to utilize it frequently.
- All students will be required to sanitize hands upon entering the studio.
- Handwashing: We encourage frequent handwashing (for at least 20 seconds before rinsing).
- Discouraging close contact: We have adjusted certain aspects of our classes to ensure dancers are not in too close of proximity. We will not be giving hugs or hi-fives and are asking dancers to skip those as well. We will refrain from any floor work exercises and dance moves that require laying on the floor.
- Surface Cleaning: Between every class, we will wipe down frequently touched surfaces.
- Deep Cleaning: We are deep cleaning the studio every week.
- Staff: Only staff feeling well (without symptoms) will be in the studio.
- The use of masks: Naach Students and Staff are required to wear masks in class as recommended by the CDC.
We truly appreciate the support of our parents through this crisis and those of you who have stuck it out with zoom classes as we know that is a less than ideal way to learn and practice dance. We have really missed our dear students and are excited to dance with you again – in person!
