Understatement of the Year: The pandemic has been really hard on everyone!
And with the new Delta variant, it seems to be harder than ever to know how to make safe decisions for ourselves and our families.
We get it, and as parents we are in the same boat! Navigating safe spaces for our kids is challenging right now. So we wanted to layout our safety measures for operating at our new studio.
Both of our studio spaces have medical grade HEPA air purifiers that remove particles down to 0.1 microns. They can turn the air over 2-3x per hour. The filters in our HVAC system have an 8-10 MERV rating. Markers on the floor indicate 6' distance to help dancers maintain adequate space, and we sanitize high touch surfaces and equipment at least daily and in between classes.
Masks are required for ages 5+ regardless of vaccination status. We have both adult and child-sized disposable medical masks available for your use. While we are not requiring it, we are *strongly* recommending that ages 2-4 also wear masks--and they do it beautifully!
While we do have waiting areas inside, we encourage parents to take advantage of class time to go for a walk or run an errand to avoid having large groups congregating indoors.
Our staff is fully vaccinated, but continue to wear masks whenever we are in the studio.
Life is still not looking normal, but we feel confident that with your help and support we can at least get back to dancing together safely! And that will feel wonderful and very normal!
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we are always happy to chat. Stay safe and stay well!
❤️ Sarah and Rachael
