Lobby / Studio

- • All parents / guardians, siblings and family members must wait outside of the lobby / studio.
- • Everyone entering the lobby / studio must use hand sanitizer. Sanitizer: We have hand sanitizer in each dance room and bathrooms. Students will be asked to use it frequently.

Drop-Off
- • Dancers will be only allowed in the entrances closest to their dance room. Once we are back in the building there will be a detailed schedule of which door they may enter.
- • WAITING ROOM IS CLOSED: we are asking all parents/guardians to bring dancers to the appropriated door, and then either wait in your car or drop off and pick up. We are trying to cut back on social togetherness. We feel closing our waiting room will eliminate group gatherings as well as contaminating many areas in the Studio.
- • All dancers will have their temperature taken with a touchless laser thermometer at the door. Anyone with a temp over 100.4 degrees will not be let in.
- • Once your dancer is dropped off and has had their temp taken, they will be ushered immediately to the bathroom or to the utility sink to wash their hands and after that they will take their place in class.
- • If your dancer is of driving age, we ask that they stay in their car until they receive a text from the teacher saying to come in.
Dismissal
- • Since the waiting room is closed, we ask that parents/guardians form a single file line outside the door where your dancer will be.
- • Each dancer will be dismissed individually as the parent comes to the door.
- • The line may be long, so we ask for patience, this is for the health and safety of your dancer.
