COVID-19 Policies
***The following policies will be in place as long as the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates a state of emergency in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The director may also choose to extend any of these measures beyond this point in time, if it is deemed necessary for the overall well-being and safety of students, instructors, and their families. This page will be updated as needed, as information and circumstances change in our world.***
Persons who can produce proof of vaccination may enter the premises and attend classes without a mask. Any person who chooses not be vaccinated, or does not wish to provide proof, may simply continue to wear a mask, or send their child to class with a mask, no questions asked. Masks MUST be worn over the mouth AND nose at all times. Failure to abide by this policy is grounds for immediate removal and suspension. The student will be welcome to return when the mask mandate has been lifted.
Any student who is feeling ill, running a fever, or has an immediate family member who is feeling ill or running a fever, should NOT attend classes until cleared to do so. We do not penalize students for missed classes, even in the best of times. If an extended time out of class is required for these reasons, please contact the director.
No waiting inside the building. Please have dancers wait in the car until they see the previous class exit the building and the instructor indicate that it is time to come in. Parents may not wait inside during classes. Students may NOT be dropped off early or picked up late.
No food or drinks besides water permitted in the studio. Students who are in class for less than an hour should leave their water in the car. Absolutely NO sharing.
No shared props or equipment permitted in classes. There is a limited number of yoga mats, therabands, and other items that older students may check out for their personal use. These items become the student’s responsibility and must travel home with them, and may not be used by any other student. Otherwise, any desired equipment must be purchased for the student’s exclusive use.
PROCEDURE FOR CLASSES
Please wait until the previous class has exited and the instructor has indicated it is time to come in.
Students are not permitted to leave class except to use the bathroom, and as there is only one bathroom, only one may leave the room at a time. Please keep masks on in the bathroom. Consider how many other people may have exhaled their respiratory droplets into that tiny room otherwise. Recall that droplets can stay airborne for up to 3 hours.
