COVID-19 Procedures
Pre-Registration is now required for all Adult classes online and in-person. To register for Adult classes, go to the Class Schedule page, and select the class you would like to register for. If you have not made an account with PunchPass, you’ll be asked to do so (it’s quick and simple!). Please fill out the registration form and click “Reserve my Spot!” You will receive a confirmation email, including a Zoom link if your class is online.
Beginning Monday, March 7th masks/facial coverings will be optional for all youth students in alignment with the lifted mandate and NJ public schools.
All dancers are asked to take their water to a windowsill, where windows are cracked open for water breaks. This creates less traffic in our waiting room. Please feel free to refill your water bottle in the “water closet” behind the accordion doors in the hallway near the restroom.
Please use the touchless hand sanitizer at the front (by the door) before entering the big studio, where we frequently change our medical grade air filters in the ceiling.
Bring your own props such as yoga mats and Therabands for Yoga, Pilates, and Adult Jazz.
All in-person adults will be required to sign a waiver online when making their reservation on our Adult Class Schedule Page. New Youth Parents will be given a waiver at the end of their first class. Thank you in advance for taking the time to acknowledge this and the circle of trust we maintain as a studio family. Please stay home and Zoom, if you feel any potential symptoms of Covid-19.
Please do not crowd the waiting room. Parents are encouraged to “drop & go,” especially during larger classes. The free 15 minute spots outside for curbside delivery are also for our use and great for this! Please go directly into the studio once you or your child takes their shoes off, to clear the Waiting Room. For Adults & those who wait during short classes, feel free to go up 1/2 a floor to the landing we share with STEAM. Take a chair-they’re our friends! You can also enjoy the park at Van Neste Square, one block away, or support other local small businesses, such as Pierre Michel (French coffee/pastry shop on Ridgewood Ave across from the studio with the most room), World Naturals (a studio favorite across the street), Ridgewood Coffee Company, Starbucks, or Rey Sol (directly across the street!). Please note that most of our families know our front desk staff well, and we are happy to walk your child down curbside, if you can’t find a spot, and want to call the studio and request this if ever needed.
All online classes are protected. Youth classes have one password for our Parent Portal, where Zoom links are available. If you forgot the password, kindly email or call the studio. Adult Classes have Zoom links on the “Adult Class Schedule” page under Online classes. Adults we do not know will be left in the Waiting Room if they are not registered, and asked to verify being a human, possibly here for their first free class. Please make sure you rename yourself on Zoom, so our staff can identify you. We understand Adults may want to leave their camera off, so this procedure will help ensure online safety.
If you are sick, stay home. Please self monitor for symptoms of COVID-19. We are thankful we have never had a case in the studio. This is largely due to our dance community taking class on Zoom, even if they have any potential minor symptoms or sickness at anytime. Thank you!
