COVID-19 Safety Protocols
Florida Dance Conservatory New Policies and Procedures for Safe Re-Opening
Please take a minute to read through these guidelines to familiarize yourself and your dancers with our new procedures. These procedures will remain in effect until further notice.
UPDATED COVID POLICIES: Masks are optional. The lobby is still closed and drop off and pick up are as described below. See full protocols below for more information.
1. The lobby is closed. Only staff and students are allowed inside the facility. Parents and siblings must wait in their car instead of inside the studio.
2. Parents must conduct their own health assessment of their dancer prior to arriving to the studio.
3. ENTERING THE STUDIO: All students will enter through the main entrance on the South side of the building. Students in the first class of the day (generally 4pm) will enter the studio and immediately go into the classroom. For all classes following, students should not enter the building until as close to class time as possible to avoid “hang outs” in the lobby and to encourage social distancing.
4. EXITING THE STUDIO: Students in the first & in some cases the second class of the evening will be exiting through the studio doors along Dixie Highway. Parents should meet their dancer at these doors to take to the car. Punctuality at pick up is key to making this safe for those exiting and arriving for the next class. If a student is taking the next class, they will remain in the studio.
5. Dancers need to arrive to the studio in their dance clothes. Please wear a cover up.
6. All Students up MUST wear a face mask at all times while in the building. This includes staff. If a student forgets their mask, one will be provided, either disposable or reusable depending on our supply, and the parent will be charged a fee between $2 - $10 on their account.
7. Dancers are required to sanitize their hands upon entering the building. A temperature check will also be administered.
8. Upon entering the classroom dancers will be directed to stand/place themselves at marked spots equally 6 feet apart. All items a student brings should be placed and remain in their designated spot.
9. Students are to maintain social distancing to the best of their ability and will be reminded or redirected to remain apart or on their marked spot by the teacher if needed.
10. The drinking fountain is closed until further notice. Dancers should bring a full water bottle, labeled with their name, to each class they attend. If a child forgets their water bottle, one will be provided and the parent will be charged $2 on their account.
11. At this time, dancers should not bring food or snacks into the studio.
12. All dance barres are cleaned between each dance class with either hospital grade cleaner or bleach solution.
13. Studio floors are being cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant.
14. Lobby, bathrooms, and frequently touched surfaces such as door handles are cleaned every two hours.
15. We have upgraded to highest grade Merv filters available for ac units, increased air circulation with fans, air purifiers with hepa/merv filters in each studio.
15. Payments are encouraged through the Studio Director portal. If payment needs to be made by check or cash, please email info@fdcwpb.com to schedule a drop off time or to let us know payment is with the student.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding through all these new changes. We appreciate everyone’s commitment to safety. Remember to read emails that are sent from the Studio Director for any changes/updates we may need to make. We can’t wait to see you in class!
