ADJUSTED Schedule for Finalizing Dance 2020

Dear Dance Families,

We have been closely monitoring the process of re-opening our community and have determined that, in the interest of the health and safety of our dancers, some adjustments need to be made to our earlier plans for reopening the studio.

Westminster College will not be opening Champ Auditorium for our Spring Show, nor would social distancing guidelines allow us to bring all our families and their guests together to celebrate our dancers there. Therefore, we have been forced to consider an alternate means of showcasing our dancers and the work they have done this year.

In addition, as we began to fine tune the details of maintaining appropriate social distancing and other safety precautions, it became clear that we would need to institute some new policies and time frames for our final events; these schedule changes and policies are outlined below for your convenience.

We will resume classes for ONE week, the week of June 9-11 and hold a final performance scheduled by class for Saturday, June 13 at an outdoor venue to be confirmed at a later time.

CLASSES - JUNE 9-11:

• Classes, except for the first class each night, will meet TEN minutes LATER than normally scheduled to allow one class to safely exit the studio before the next class arrives
• Classes will end at their normally scheduled end times
• Parents will NOT be allowed in the studio at any time during the week; Premier Dance personnel will greet dancers just outside the front door and guide them to their classroom 
• After each class ends, dancers will be led outside by Premier Dance personnel and supervised as they rejoin their parents; parents should remain in their cars and take turns pulling up to the door to load their dancer
• Costumes and Spring Show shirts will be bundled up and sent home with dancers after each class June 9-11
• Costume notes for our final performance will be sent via email along with a picture of each costume

PERFORMANCE - JUNE 13:

• Our performance will be held outside, class-by-class, to allow families the opportunity to practice social distancing
• Each dance family may bring a total of five guests, not including the dancers themselves
• Families are asked to remain in their family groups and follow social distancing guidelines
• A parent must be available to assist each dancer with any costume changes
• Each class will have a 15- or 20-minute time slot to perform their dances (including any costume changes); please see the schedule below
• Family groups of five or fewer may watch and take photos during the performances
• Family groups (of five or fewer) are asked to move away from the viewing area when their dancer is finished with her performance so that other family groups may move forward to observe their dancers 
• We appreciate your continued patience as we try to work safely in these uncertain and trying times
