1) Before Class Online Screening
On the morning of your class day each week, we will email you a short COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire that you will need to fill out by 3:00pm on behalf of your dancer, so they will be allowed to participate in dance class. It's an online Google Form accessible at https://forms.gle/PyZNW3Jab9dMZixEA or by clicking the button below:
The teacher will check temperatures upon arrival. New Creation Dance will not allow anyone to enter the facility if they meet any of the following criteria (found on the Screening Questionnaire):
Students must be “fever-free”, for 48 hours before returning to dance classes. Students who test positive for COVID-19, or who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive will be required to quarantine following the CDC's directions, found HERE. (If they choose to have a follow up test and it comes back negative, they may return to dance class with a doctor’s note.) In the event a student is restricted from attending classes, we will give you the option to participate in class virtually via a Zoom link to continue your dance training.
