Upon entering the building, all staff and students will be asked to use sanitizer.
Dancers must carry a bag for all their belongings: water bottles, dance shoes, phones, and personal items.

Our youngest dancers in Pre-School Dance and Primary Dance A-D will be escorted to the bathroom by a staff member. Still, the students will need to be able to use the bathroom on their own.
