COVID-Protocols

Our COVID Procedures

UPDATED 8/21/22- The health and safety of our Crossroads community remains our number one priority. We will continue to monitor the latest CDC and local government guidelines, making any changes or adjustments to our protocols as needed throughout the season. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these constantly evolving times.

CLASS CAPACITIES

• We continue to monitor our class capacities to ensure dancers not only are able to be seen and receive instructor attention but to be sure we help with crowding.

DROP OFF/PICK UP

• We continue to encourage drop-off upon arriving at the studio.
• Our Customer Care Team’s role is to be 100% committed to assisting dancers at our front door at the beginning and end of each class as well as, during classes if students need anything.
• If your dancer is age 6 and under please walk them to the front door and make sure he/she is settled before you leave.
• Our waiting area has limited availability to avoid crowding and distraction while classes are in session.
• At the end of class, all dancers will be picked up at the lobby doors where our staff will be stationed to assist with dismissal.

For the continued health and safety of our faculty and students, any conversations/questions needed with our team members/teachers should be set up through email or by phone with our Customer Care Team. This allows us to focus on making sure dancers get 100% of their learning time and that the transition from car to class AND class to car is a success.

We welcome your email, call, text, or scheduled conference to address any questions or concerns. Our team is staying strongly committed during this pandemic. We’re grateful for the patrnership by our parents and staff to make dance possible.
