EVERYONE ENTERING KIM'S ACADEMY OF DANCE MUST AGREE WITH AND FOLLOW THESE HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS, WHICH MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME.



GENERAL ILLNESS

  • Please do not come to class if you are feeling ill or have any COVID-like symptoms.
  • Please do not come to the studio if you have tested positive, or have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, or has had COVID-like symptoms, the past 14 days.
  • If your dancer is experiencing excessive sneezing and coughing (even if it is allergies or a cold), we ask that you keep them home that day.


STUDENTS

  • Dancers must come dressed and ready for class. Please don't change clothing at the studio.
  • Please bring just your dance bag and be sure to consolidate all your belongings.
  • Dancers can bring their own water bottle to class, but no food or snacks will be allowed in the studio.


MASKS/FACE COVERINGS

  • Everyone entering the building must wear a face covering at all times. This can be a mask, bandana or shield, as long as it covers both the mouth and the nose.
  • Dance teachers and staff will be wearing face coverings at all times.
  • We currently are requiring dancers to keep face coverings on even when they dance. We will still be 6 ft social distancing, but plan to play it safe for now.


LOBBY/RESTROOMS

  • For the start of the year, the lobby will be closed. If you have a young dancer (Preschool or Kindergarten), one parent will be allowed to bring them in the first few weeks until they get settled. Masks, hand sanitizer and temperature readings will be required for the parent.
  • Please have your dancer use the restroom before they come to class. The restrooms will be limited to dancers, teachers, and staff.
  • Restrooms will be cleaned immediately after each use.


DANCE ROOMS

  • Luckily, our dance rooms are very large. Even though we will be wearing masks at all times, dancers will be social distanced at 6 ft.
  • We plan to use our spacious lobbies and lofts (if needed) for any overflow, however some classes will be smaller and available only on a first come, first served basis.
  • All younger classes will be doing ballet barre in the center. Only Ballet Technique and Pointe classes will be using ballet barres. Each student will stay at their specified spot, and the barres will be wiped down immediately after each use.
  • All dances will be currently choreographed as touchless dances. No partners, hand holding, lifts, etc.
  • All tumbling will be done across the mat on an individual stripe. Mats will be wiped down immediately after each use.


DROP OFF

  • Upon entering, students will have their temperature taken with a touchless infrared thermometer. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees F or higher will not be allowed in. Students will also receive hand sanitizer and then proceed to specified markings in the lobby. Face coverings are required before entering.
  • Please remember our lobby is closed. We are asking all parents/guardians to bring the dancers to the front door and then wait either outside or in your car. Feel free to run errands during that time. We will have a 10 minute window (5 minutes before class, 5 minutes after class) to avoid congestion at the door for drop off.



PICK UP

  • We ask that you please come to the front door to pick up your dancer.
  • We will be dismissing dancers individually as the parents come to the door. It went pretty quick in the spring, but we do ask for your patience. Also please remember to social distance as you wait.
  • Each student will receive hand sanitizer as they exit the dance rooms.


STAFF

  • All KAD teachers and staff will take their temperature before they arrive.
  • KAD employees will wear face coverings at all times and use hand sanitizer or wash hands frequently throughout the day/evening.


CLEANING

  • All frequently touched areas and assigned "spots" will be cleaned in between every class.
  • Barres, mats, and bathrooms will be cleaned immediately after use.
  • Dance floors and lobby carpets will be disinfected nightly.


EVERYONE ENTERING KIM'S ACADEMY OF DANCE MUST AGREE WITH AND FOLLOW THESE HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS,
