Dancers’ Workshop Health & Safety Protocol
Summer 2020

1) Students must arrive at the studio already fully dressed with hair done for class and having been to the restroom before entering. Levels I/II and up should only be carrying their ballet and/or pointe shoes in their hands and will change them for class. All of the littles in pastel blue leotards should already be in their ballet shoes, completely ready for class.

2) There will be no bags or purses allowed in the building, unless there is a medical reason for doing so (such as insulin or epi-pen). Advanced Pointe Dancers may bring a small pointe shoe bag (such as the small, draw-string or mesh type) with only their own supplies in it.

3) There will be no sharing or borrowing of personal items. This includes but is not limited to hairbrushes, bobby pins, elastic hair bands, makeup, clothing items, etc.

4) Only dancers who drove themselves to the studio will be allowed to have cell phones. NO EXCEPTIONS. Student drivers may leave their phones in their cars or will be required to place them in a holding bag on the wall while in class. All other dancers will have full access to the studio phones and the phones of the adults who are supervising them while they are in our facility. Supervised children do not need cell phones.

The studio phone number is (225)767-5814 if you need to get in touch with us or your child.

5) Only students and staff will be allowed to come inside the building. Parents who choose to wait on the premises must do so in their vehicles and parents who have business with the office must call the office phone first (225)767-5814.

6) Only students and staff will be allowed to use our restrooms on an emergency-only basis.

7) No students should merely be dropped off, regardless of age. Everyone must wait in their personal vehicles until motioned by teachers to come to the doors. We will also be using separate entrances. Levels V and below will use the traditional Dancers’ Workshop entrance. Levels VI and above will use the BRBT entrance. At 5 minutes before class, teachers will greet students outside at their entrance door and will guide the dancers in, maintaining social distances. All studios have been taped off in 6 ft. increments. As teachers guide dancers in, they will walk directly into the studio to find a spot. There will be no congregating or visiting on benches or in hallways or dressing areas. Class will end just a few minutes early in order to facilitate moving directly to the exits to greet parents outside.

8) Students who show any signs of anything viral (including common cold symptoms) should remain AT HOME. Any student showing signs of illness will have to separate from the group while waiting for a parent to pick them up. Parents will be contacted by staff if their child is showing signs of illness while in class.

9) Parents who have business with or questions for the office should call the office phone at (225)767-5814. We are in the process of setting up the capability for electronic payments, but until we have that fully functional, checks may be dropped off on the porch.
These policies to remain in effect until further notice.

I agree that The Dancers' Workshop and its instructors are not liable for personal injuries or loss of or damage to personal property.
