COVID-19 POLICIES & PRECAUTIONS
We plan to follow all mandates set forth by the Louisiana State Governor’s Office. We will update by e-mail and on Facebook as changes are made. As of the date of the production of this information that includes the following mandates and precautions.
-Masks are required for all staff and students age
8+ and recommended for all.
-Our lobby & office is closed except by appointment.
-Students must be dropped off and picked up using the drive-thru (see drive
thru info on back).
-Students may not change in the studio. We also ask that when possible, students use the restroom at home before
coming to class. The bathroom is a high
touch area we’d like to avoid.
-Students must wash or sanitize their hands
entering and exiting using soap or sanitizer we provide unless they bring their
own.
-Students must not wear class shoes outside the studio. They will leave those
shoes in the lobby and put on their class shoes once they have entered the
studio rooms. We highly recommend slip on shoes for entering and exiting.
-We are allowing 15-30 minute breaks between every class where the groups
completely change in order to aid in drop off, pick up, and cleaning the floors
and high-touch surfaces. If there is not
a break between classes we are anticipating the classes to have the same
students enrolled in those classes though new students might join the 2nd
class. We may need to adjust these after
enrollment begins.
-Students will be spaced 6’ or more apart using a grid on the floor. We will suspend prop sharing or partner work & hand holding generally used in classes until we are advised it is safe to do so.
While all of this may sound overwhelming, we promise to do our very best to provide a high quality of service and as much normalcy as possible. Our June and July classes were highly successful in providing the same quality of service as before while utilizing most of these precautions. I know for many of you the mask mandate is an issue, and we want you to know ask soon as that mandate is lifted it will become optional. Our staff will continue to wear masks as long as it is recommended in an effort to protect students, but we are very aware that activity in a mask can be difficult for some. We will allow for breaks as necessary and hope that you are all willing to work with us within the mandates and recommendations we are receiving.
