Please follow the below guidelines to help limit the amount of people in our lobbies:
- Parents of dancers ages 6 and above should drop their dancer off at the front door. Those with children ages 5 and under may wait in the lobby.
- Please drop dancers off / arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before class.
- Dancers should come dressed in their dance attire and should use the bathroom at home before class.
- Dancers go directly to the lobby nearest the studio they will be dancing in and wait for the teacher to call them into class. This will allow the previous class to exit and the teacher time to sanitize the studio.
- Parents, pick up your dancer promptly at the end of class at the front door. No dancers should wait outside alone.
Thank you for helping us keep a safe space for our dancers!
