Returning to dance safely requires us all to adhere to the minimum requirements. As a reminder, this includes wearing a facial covering at all times while teaching and taking classes and while moving about inside the building, with the exception of when eating or drinking. Anyone entering the studio, including parents and siblings at drop off, will be required to have their temperature checked and their hands sanitized or washed before entering our space. Sanitizer will be available at the entrance and inside of the studio.
We kindly ask that parents of young dancers limit one adult for drop off and pick up to reduce traffic flow in our common areas. Additionally, we will be practicing social distancing and working to keep all students 6ft apart during every class. We ask that everyone adhere to social distancing standards in common areas as well.
We are also requiring that all students and families engage in a daily self-assessment. If anyone in your family is showing symptoms, we kindly ask that you refrain from coming to class and instead log into class at home from ZOOM.
Expectations for Students Returning from Travel
We are requiring that students entering Pennsylvania from other countries and states, as well as Pennsylvanians who are returning home from other countries or states, have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to entering the Commonwealth or quarantine for 10 days upon entry into Pennsylvania. If a traveler chooses to get tested upon entering the Commonwealth, or is waiting for test results, the traveler must quarantine for 10 days, or until receipt of a negative test result, whichever comes first. Virtual options will always be available should one need to quarantine.
Studio Space
Our dance studio has undergone a number of modifications, including assessment for capacity, modification of furniture to include personal spaces for belongings, addition of hand sanitizing stations, and plans for enhanced cleaning. Nearby facilities, such as restrooms, have also been assessed for capacity, flow and enhanced cleaning protocols. Studio and doors will be cleaned by faculty at the end of each class. Students will clean chairs that they use to hold their belongings.
Note
This also applies to any adult classes that may be held in The Legacy Arts Studio in the future as well. As we move classes outside we will also maintain the wearing of masks and social distancing. Although other states are opening up and Vaccinations are being given we at this time are still following the protocol we have been following for everyone's safety. Thank you for your cooperation.
