Dance Arts Studio Policies relating to COVID19 Dance Arts Studio will follow the Colorado state regulations regarding the safety of our dancers during the COVID19 pandemic as well as any regulations our Board of Directors deem necessary at Dance Arts Studio.
Your part in keeping our dancers and staff safe...
Masks! Dancers will be required to wear a mask the entire time they are in the studio. This excludes only our Creative Movement classes for our youngest dancers. This policy will stay in place even if the state mandate is lifted. The reason behind this is that we cannot assure that all dancers will be 6 feet apart at all times while attending class at DAS.
Travel – If your dancer travels anywhere outside of Colorado, by any means of transportation, they will be required to quarantine for 14 days from the last date of travel from in-person classes at DAS. While in quarantine, they will have the option to attend class via Zoom. If they do not attend class via Zoom, they will be marked absent. Zoom links for each class will be available from your parent portal. No Parents will be allowed in the studio.
Exposure events – If your family attends an event (wedding, funeral, any celebration, etc) where you feel you have experienced a higher than normal risk for contracting COVID, Please self-quarantine from DAS in-person classes for 14 days.
Sickness – If your dancer, or someone in your household is known to have been exposed to a person who has COVID, your dancer should quarantine for 14 days from DAS in-person classes. If your dancer or anyone in your immediate family tests positive for COVID, contact the studio immediately! Your dancer will be required to quarantine from in-person classes at DAS for 14 days from exposure and cannot return to class in person until the earliest of 14 days OR she/he has a negative COVID test.
Our part in keeping our dancers and staff safe...
The cleaning of common areas in the studio. Taking no-touch temperatures of everyone entering DAS. Limiting the amount of extra people in the studio. (No parents will be allowed) Encouraging hand washing before and after each class.
Social Distancing – while we will encourage social distancing, we cannot assure that dancers will always be 6 feet apart during class, or waiting in the studio before or after class.
Zoom – All classes will be available in person or by Zoom. If there comes a time that you simply feel “safer at home”, your dancer will always have the option of Zoom. Zoom classes will be billed at the same rate as in-person classes. Links will be available for each class through your parent portal.
Other notes:
• The water fountain at the studio will not be available. Please be sure your dancer brings enough water for the duration of their classes.
• As we realize that dancing in a mask is hot, we will give the dancers a “breathing” break to step outside when possible. We will also keep the studio at a cooler than normal temperature.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding the need to keep our studio as SAFE as it can be!!!!

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/Dance Arts Studio
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to- person contact. As a result, federal, state and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Dance Arts Studio (DAS) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, DAS cannot guarantee that your child will not become infected with COVID-19.
I understand and will explain to my child/student at DAS the importance of complying with instructions and safeguards put in place by DAS to protect against the COVID-19 virus and its spread.
By accepting this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child may be exposed to, or infected by COVID-19 by attending DAS and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness or worse.
I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at DAS may result from the actions of omissions of myself and others, including, but not limited to, DAS employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child including personal injury, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense of any kind, that my child may experience or incur in connection with my child's attendance at DAS or participation in DAS classes. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless DAS, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions or omissions of DAS, its employees, agents and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any DAS program, class or event.
