COVID SAFETY GUIDELINES

Covid Studio Safety Measures 

2021-2022 Season


In these uncertain times, we want nothing more than to have a full, happy and healthy season. Therefore there are some guidelines that must be adhered to for the well being of our dancers, staff and families. The safety of our dancers, families and staff are of utmost importance. 

We appreciate your support and understanding in helping to keep our studio safe & back in session! 

The Studio -

  • Danceworks, NY studio is located at 10 Soundview Marketplace. We are a full operating recreational & competitive dance studio. Our building has 2 studios. Each studio is equipped with cameras for our dancers & staff safety. We have purchased touch-less hand soap, hand driers/paper towels dispensers & touch-less hand sanitizing machines. The studio’s classrooms will be disinfected several times during the day and students will not be able to enter the studio until disinfection is complete. We have installed air filters in our HVAC system & air filters in each studio.

  • In order to continue to support the safety of our studio, caregivers will be asked to drop off their dancer for class. Parents or caregivers are not allowed inside the studio. For dancers ages 2-4 years old, caregivers may enter to help assist with the drop off process.

  • IMPORTANT! PLEASE SIGN! Parents will be asked to sign a COVID waiver for your dancer before their first day of classes. DOCU SIGN LINK: https://na4.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=256edd74-a4e6-4fd9-895e-3973a1d8ed76&env=na4&acct=41700e90-0aff-4d61-a3bf-d60c19b49a5a&v=2

  • UPDATED MASK UPDATE 2/28/22

    Mask Wearing:

    As previously stated, Danceworks, NY is a private business and we must follow all mandates set by New York State. As we all know, Governor Hochul has lifted the mask mandate and vaccine mandates for all New York businesses and most recently for schools. We have also taken some time over the last weeks to thoroughly think through our COVID GUIDELINES and next steps at Danceworks, NY.

    Our studio has done our best to be aligned with the Port School District and are very proud of everyone who has contributed to the success in keeping our studio safe.

    We feel that it is in the best interest of our entire studio, staff & families that when we return from Feb. recess, masks will become an optional personal choice for our students and staff starting February 28th.

  • COVID QUARANTINE GUIDELINES

  • If a dancer/teacher tests positive, they will be asked to quarantine from the studio for 5 days. If after those 5 days, they are symptom free, they may return to the studio.

  • If a dancer is exposed to a positive sibling, family member or someone outside of the studio, the dancer must provide proof of a negative test before they return to the studio. In the event that a dancer finds out that they are exposed to a positive sibling, family member or someone outside of the studio on the day of their scheduled class, they will not be allowed to attend class. They must wait 3 days, provide a negative test and then may return to the studio.

  • All absences due to quarantine and testing can be made up in the same age group class. Dancers are allowed 5 makeup classes. Email the studio to schedule a makeup class at: tricia@danceworksny.com or kristin@danceworksny.com

  • If a student is presenting any symptoms of illness (runny nose, cough, fever, sore throat) they will be asked to stay home.

  • There will be no refunds or credit given for missed classes due to illness or quarantine. There will not be any refunds for any classes cancelled by the studio. In this event, a makeup class in the same style/same age will be offered.

  • Students & staff will be asked to hand sanitize before coming into the studio and when exiting the studio.

  • The studio will be disinfected daily & several times during the day with professional disinfectant. Recreational class time will be reduced to 45 mins for all 1 hour regularly scheduled classes and 30 mins for all 45 min regularly schedule classes.

*Please note Danceworks, NY is a private business & will continue to use all NYS/Nassau County guidelines to help continue to keep our studio safe. Danceworks, NY has the right to update their guidelines to continue keep our studio safe.
