Drop-off and Pickup
- As we will be having staggered start and release times please arrive only a few minutes before classes start so we can safely take every dancer’s temperature and make sure they know where to go for class and give everyone a pump of hand sanitizer.
- Parents will not be allowed into the studio as per the guidelines set out for us by the State. You may wait in your cars or in the parking area but please observe proper social distancing.
- Please remind your child to wait on the ramp 6 feet apart with their mask on their face before entering the building.
Pickup Protocol:
TEXT 508 622-5334 when you arrive for pickup & make sure you include the child(rens) name(s) that you are taking with you. Then, wait patiently in/at your car and a faculty member will safely escort your child outside. Please pick up on time as we are restricted to only having a certain number of people in the building.
Waiting Area and Dressing Rooms
Dressing Rooms are not to be used whenever possible. The Board Of Health encourages everyone to arrive dressed and ready for class.
Attendance & Make-Up Policy
Due to limited space in our IN STUDIO porgrams we cannot guarentee a make up option for each dancer who misses class. However, we have done a tremendous amount of work and made a huge investment into making sure each studio is equipted with computers so that each and every IN STUDIO class will be also LIVE streamed for kids to take at home.
This is also a great tool for parents that want to watch their children while in class. We usually have the tvs in the waiting room for people to watch, but at this time the waiting room is closed.
Trial Classes
Trial classes are a great option for students and families that are new to our studio. Each new dancer will be permitted 1 week of trial classes (7 consecutive days) to try whatever classes they’d like to. However, this is only availbale IF and only if there is space in the classes the trial student is interested in. Each trial student must complete the new liability form located below.
