Staying active is a vital part of staying healthy!
Dance is one of the few, unique activities that is
beneficial to both physical and mental health.
In addition to improving fitness, attending dance classes provides a chance to interact with friends and a creative escape that can be a great source of HAPPINESS for people of all ages and levels of experience.
In stressful and challenging times, we realize that having this outlet is more “essential” than ever!
The Dance Element Is Committed To Keeping Our Dance Family Healthy & Happy!
While paying close attention to science and evaluating survey results from a pool of more than 50 local parents, our dance studio is exceeding all recommendations and guidelines with policies and procedures that ensure the safety of our dance family, without removing any of the fun from our classes.
The Dance Element has installed anti-viral MERV-13 filters in our HVAC system to constantly cycle and clean the air in our entire facility.
MERV 13 filters attract and capture 98% of airborne particles, including dust, smog, mold, bacteria, viruses, and allergens. While filtering out harmful particulates, these filters also elevate the system's overall performance by efficiently minimizing backpressure and maintaining proper airflow.
We have invested in a large HEPA Air Purifier for each dance studio.
These hospital-grade machines are designed to trap and remove 99.97% of germs and airborne viruses in spaces larger than 1200 square feet (that's almost 600 sq. ft bigger than our larger studio.) The units are almost completely silent and constantly run to purify the air while classes are in session.
We have adapted our class schedule to allow time for staff members to disinfect the dance studios between each group of students.
Under normal circumstances, we take pride in maintaining an immaculate facility. The CDC's guidelines for wiping surfaces, in fact, do not vary much from our regular practices at the studio; however, we have increased the frequency of these efforts daily.
Restrooms and Lobby areas are cleaned frequently
and well-stocked with sanitizer and soap.
Colorful spots in the center of our large dance classrooms assist children as they move, allowing them plenty of space to learn dance technique comfortably and socialize with eachother, while maintaining at least seven feet of physical distance.
Appropriately distanced personal spots along the walls in each studio are reserved for each dancer and their belongings and all include individual bottles of hand sanitizer.
Marked by funny, multicolored feet, these spots help to space dancers for stretching as well as barre work in our ballet classes.
It is extremely beneficial for young children to learn spatial awareness,
and dance students of all ages are eventually required to dance
"on their spot" when learning choreography for performance.
These safety precautions may ultimately produce stronger dancers!
The Dance Element Believes We Are ALL Responsible for the Health and Safety of Each Other!
With this in mind, Parents, Faculty, & Adult Dance Students are asked
to sign a "Wellness Pledge" before participating in our dance classes.
The Wellness Pledge is a commitment that each family/dancer will practice good hygiene, follow preclusion policies while away from the studio, and responsibly self-evaluate/ evaluate children before every visit to The Dance Element, promising to remain at home if they or other family members are experiencing symptoms of illness.
Although many things are different in this global situation,
by accepting a collective responsibility to support the health and safety of our dance family, each of us together can ensure that
The Dance Element continues to make a difference.
Please don't hesitate to Contact Us
with questions regarding our Health & Safety precautions or to schedule a private tour of our beautiful facility off Market St. adjacent to Ogden Park.
