Enter and Exit Protocol for The Village Ballroom:
-I will meet your dancers on Dekum street on the sidewalk. Please do not block the pub entrance. Just the students will go up the side stairs to the ballroom with me. If you have a child that might need extra care and need you during class please stay close by and I will text you if your child need support. Please email me if your child needs caregiver support during class.
-If it is raining the students may come up the stairs directly to the ballroom door to enter prior to class.
-Please have your children wear their ballet dress code under their jackets and warm ups and do not plan to change in the ballroom prior to class.
-I will take everyones temperature upon arrival and ask them to sanitize their hands before entering the ballroom.
-during class they will wear their mask but may drink sips of water while staying distanced from other children.
- Your child will need to use the bathroom without assistance for their own privacy. The Bathroom is within view of the ballroom and I can visually monitor their safety. Please have your children use the bathroom prior to class to lessen use during class.
-At the end of our class time please wait for your children on Dekum Street. I will dismiss them and escort them out. I will have them wait behind the gate till they see you to keep them safe. It will be important to have you there on-time.
Performance Tickets and Guest:
All classes will have their performance on Dec 12th or 13th at the Village Ballroom. Participation in the performance is not mandatory but encouraged. Due to Covid Safety precautions each class will have their own performance time. Each student is allowed to bring 2 max 4 guests to our live performances. Tickets to the performance will be a $5-$10 sliding scale per person to support our scholarship fund.
Performance Schedule and Location:
-Dress Rehearsal! Your child's last class prior to the performance will be their dress rehearsal. December 5th and 6th. They will need to wear their performance dress and hair! This will be a chance to make sure everyone has on the right attire and secure hair so that our performances run smoothly.
Performance Schedule and Location: Subject to slight changes
Please arrive at the Village Ballroom with your child ready to perform in costume and hair at your child’s regular class time. Please be right on time!! This helps the students stress level and helps us stay on schedule.
