TDC COVID-19 Response for Health and Safety
Steps we are taking to keep the building sanitized for our dancers:
Lobby / Studio
A parent must be waiting outside for the child prior to class ending.
Unfortunately, we cannot reduce the risk of COVID-19 to zero and dancers are dancing at their own risk when they enter TDC. We will do our part but if your dancer feels ill then we ask that they DO NOT come to the studio.
Please also have a conversation with your dancer prior to class about these expectations.
- Weekly whole studio deep clean and sanitization from external company
- iWave Air Purifiers have been installed in every AC unit in our studio (4 units) (To learn more about this innovative technology please visit iwaveair.com)
- Staff on duty to sanitize high traffic areas between and during classes
- Hand sanitizer stations set up throughout the studio
- Please do not come to the studio if you have a cough, fever or are sick.
- Students must come dressed and ready for class.
- Students should bring the absolute minimum inside the studio.
- Students should bring their own water with a resealable lid.
Lobby / Studio
- The lobby / studio will be limited to students, faculty and staff.
- One parent is allowed in the lobby for students 5 years old and under.
- All other parents / guardians, siblings and family members must wait outside of the lobby / studio.
- All lost and found items will be disposed of at the end of each business day.
- We have WatchMeGrow cameras in every studio. This is the same camera system used in many daycares so you have access to your child at all times. This means you will be able to gain access to watch your child dance on your phone or smart device while you are outside the studio, in your car or even at home. However, you will only have access to these cameras during their scheduled dance time so you never have to worry someone will be watching a class they were not given permission to view. This is an awesome new feature to TDC we are excited to offer our families!
- Please make sure your dancer uses the restroom at home before they come to the studio to help with class momentum.
- Please make sure you review your dancer’s schedule in your parent portal so you know which studio your dancer will be dancing in each day.
- Students must enter through the front lobby for Studio A and Studio B.
- Students with a class in Studio C will use the Studio C external entrance.
- Students with a class in Studio D will use the Studio D entrance.
- Students will be lined up outside by the designated studio floor stickers.
- Students will be escorted to their classroom by instructor or front desk manager.
A parent must be waiting outside for the child prior to class ending.
- Students will be escorted, and dismissed, individually by their class.
- Non-driving students must be released to a parent / guardian at their designated dismissal door.
- Non-driving students will not be released to vehicles pulled up, or parked, along the sidewalk / fire lane. OPD has stressed that we cannot create a carline for pick up. It is dangerous for our walkers.
- Tuition, payments and/or fees can be dropped off in the lobby / studio, during regular business hours.
- We only accept cash or checks or you can pay through your parent portal online. Make all checks payable to: The Dance Company of Ocala
- All tuition, payments costs and/or fees will not be prorated.
