ALL CLASSES ARE CANCELED FOR SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST
Omaha Academy of Ballet's priority is to keep OAB staff,
dancers, and their families safe and healthy while also helping stop the spread
of COVID-19. To have a responsible return to the studio, all dancers and staff will be expected to follow the procedures below. While we cannot fully eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19, by following these procedures we can do our part to protect each other and safely return to the studio. All procedures are based on CDC COVID-19 guidance. We can't wait to see you back at the studio!
- Class size will be based square
footage of each studio. Please check class registration page of class size limits.
- Class start times will be
staggered by 15 minutes to allow for cleaning/disinfecting between classes.
- No drop-ins will be allowed for
any class. Class cards will not be available this year. All dancers must register for classes.
- Face coverings/masks are required for
everyone at OAB studios including all dancers and teachers during classes and
anyone in OAB common areas.
- Dancers should have dedicated
dance-only face coverings. Here are two great resources on how to adapt to a mask during dance and how to choose a mask for dance class.
- Dancers should not wear the same
mask worn at school or work for dance class.
- Face coverings become less effective
when wet, therefore we are recommending that dancers and staff bring at least
one additional face covering if they anticipate their face covering will become
wet from sweat.
Cleaning/Disinfectant of Common Spaces
- OAB will follow all CDC guidelines
for cleaning and only use EPA/CDC approved disinfectants.
- All touched surfaces will be
disinfected between classes.
- Bathrooms will be cleaned daily
before the start of classes.
- All dancers must wash hands or use
hand sanitizer prior to entering the studio.
- Minimize personal items brought to
the studio.
- Place shoes and bags in social-distanced,
designated spaces inside or outside the studio.
- Everyone at OAB must maintain a minimum
distance of 6 feet between themselves and other people.
- All dancers must come dressed and
ready for class. Changing will not be allowed in bathrooms.
- Dancers must bring their own
pre-filled water bottles to class. Water fountains will be out of order.
Access to/Use of the Building
- We will utilize upstairs and
downstairs entrances to minimize traffic in common spaces.
- Dancers will have 5 minute window
to arrive and must immediately go to their studio and wait for class to start.
- Dancers must wait outside spaced 6
feet apart or in their cars prior to the five minute arrival window.
- Dancers must immediately exit the
building after class is over. No congregating or socializing inside the
studio/building will be allowed.
- Parents/accompanying adults will
need to wait in their cars or drop off students. No waiting in the studio will
be permitted.
