Dance Center Covid-19 Prtotcol: all dancers are required to wear a mask from home and practice social distancing of six feet. Temperature checks with a no-touch thermometer and symptom check will be performed outside of the studio and will be be recorded for each dancer and staff member. If the temperature is greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, the individual must go home. Also required is frequent hand washing and the use of disinfectant. The dance floor is divided into six foot squares. Dancers will take their dance bag and go directly to their square. The studios will be cleaned between classes. Parents will remain outside. If more dancers sign up for the limited number of in-studio classes, we will rotate attendance. Zoom classes will be offered too.
Dance Center Basic Policy
I understand that dance classes and performances may include stretching, barre work, across the floor combinations, dance routines in the center, and other related activities. I further understand that all of the activities of the dance class involve some degree of risk of strain or bodily injury.
If there is a health issue that the teacher should be aware of, please inform the teacher in case she would need to modify her teaching plan.
In case of illness, you may make up that class in any other class of that level.
Parking: Dance Center families will now have to park in the back parking lot. Please remind and insist that your children do not wait outside for you.
Dress Policy
We request that dancers observe our dress code:
All dancers must wear a cover-up (street clothes) over their dance wear when coming to and from the studio.
Predance 1 through Dance 3: black leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes, black tap shoes (ballet skirt optional), hair pulled back off the face in ponytail, bun, etc.
Dance 4, Dance 5, Dance 6: black leotard, pink footed or convertible tights, pink ballet shoes. Oxford style Tap shoes, black slip-on Jazz shoes, Dance 5 & 6 Jazz and Tap classes can wear suntan tights with dance shorts.

Modern 1, 2 and 3: black leotard, tan footless or convertible tights, dance skirt or shorts optional, no shoes.
Recital Deposit
The dance session is from September through mid-June, ending with a recital. In preparation for that event, we order the costumes at the end of December. So we ask for a $70 recital costume payment for each participating class in November. And due to the price increase of the new Chaminade venue, families that will participate in the June Spring Performance (recital) will now have to pay a small recital fee. Families in Predance 1 through Dance 5 will pay a $35.00 recital fees and families in Dance 6 will pay $50.. Families in Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Modern 1, 2 and 3 will pay a $75.00 recital fee. Then we will reduce the price of the recital tickets from $18 to $11.
