Dancin! NEWS August 2020
It's hard to believe that Summer 2020 is almost over and that most of us are preparing for the new school year and returning to Dancin!...We miss you! and look forward to seeing you soon!
2020 has certainly turned out to be a year that none of us ever thought we would ever see and we hope that everyone is faring well and staying healthy.
We at Dancin! are excited about returning to the studio and to regular schedules beginning August 24th.
Registration for Fall 2020
...begins the week of Tuesday, August 11th through Saturday, August 15th. 11am-1pm & 2pm-6pm.
Changes that you will notice this season
...will have to do with the safety and well-being of our students, their families, our staff, and our studio friends. Our goal is to not just teach dance, but to teach dance in the safest and cleanest manner and environment available in today's world. While we have always maintained a clean studio, we can now say that it is not only a new and clean studio, but it is sanitized as well. We will be utilizing UV lights daily to eliminate germs and virus, which is 99.99% effective. We will have the plexiglass barriers up at the front desk. Staff will be wearing masks and we are experimenting with face shields as well right now. We will follow the same protocol as was in place from March, 2020 through the end of the season. Face masks will be required. Temperatures (touchless) taken upon entry, Shoes changed once in the studio lobby. Hands washed frequently, Hand sanitizers throughout the facility, And, maintain social distancing by staying at least 6 feet apart.
The biggest change will be class sizes.
...Our 'In Studio' classes will be limited to 6 students per class in studio A and 4 in studio B, allowing us to maintain the social distancing standards set by the healthcare experts. The floors will have taped borders for each dancer's area.
We have designed a "Weekly Rotate Schedule"
...Students that are not 'In Studio' will take the class on 'Zoom' and will rotate each week as necessary. (Eg: 10 students registered for a class : 4 or 5 on 'Zoom' & 6 or 5 'In Studio'.) Once there is a vaccine or cure for Covid-19, we will resume full classes in the studio.
Speaking of Zoom classes....we found that students who were able to participate on Zoom via a smart TV responded much better and learned quicker. Those who took tap or Irish and had a hard floor or 4' x 4' piece of plywood to dance on, did as well as those in studio classes. While none of us feels that Zoom is the answer, we are all thankful for it as many businesses have found that it has saved their business while keeping their teachers and students.
Schedules
....We are trying to keep them as close to last year's as possible. We are working with them now and will have the schedules posted on the website this week.
