As of Aug 24, 2020
Please answer the following health screen questions each day before you come to practice. The most concerning threat to an organized sports team is rapid spread within the group. Effective containment depends on early symptom identification, removal from practice (isolation), and strict guidelines regarding return to practice. Please note, this form is for your family’s personal use. You do not need to bring this form to practice.
If you had any of the following symptoms in the past 24 hours, please remain at home and do not attend practice until you are symptom free for 72 hours. If practical, go to a testing facility to be assessed.
Assuming you have a personal thermometer at home, please conduct a temperature check each day before coming to practice. If your dancer’s temperature exceeds 100 degrees, please remain at home and do not attend practice until your temperature is normal for at least 24 hours. If practical, go to a testing facility to be assessed.
Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or otherwise been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days? If you answer yes, all three of the following are required before return to practice: a minimum of 14 days of self-quarantine, 72 hours with no symptoms, and a subsequent negative test. Testing and results must be reported to the coaching staff to monitor contacts and early signs of transmission within the team or group.
Have you had close contact within the last 14 days with someone who has COVID-19 (Close contact is defined as less than 6 feet apart for more than 15 minutes per CDC guidelines)? If you answer yes, to return to practice, the dancer should have no symptoms for 72 hours and no additional close contact with the infected individual. In addition, they should have a negative test OR self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days.
Have you had close contact within the last 14 days with someone who has any of the above symptoms? (Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for more than 10 minutes per CDC guidelines)? If you answer yes, to return to practice, the dancer should have no symptoms for 72 hours
Only participants and staff who undergo daily health screenings (see attachment) are allowed into the facility. No observers will be permitted. Exception will be drop off of kids with corporation anxiety. In that case parents may come in if social distancing and wearing a mask.
All must maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet from non-family members at all times, in and out of the main practice space.
We will maintain a zero-contact environment. This means zero contact from person to person, from person to shared equipment and minimal, controlled contact with facility surfaces which are regularly sanitized and disinfected after the departure of each group.
Participants must arrive wearing proper dance attire with no extraneous equipment or clothing. Locker rooms/changing rooms and water fountains will remain closed. When entering front lobby to classroom we ask that you wear a mask.
Dancers have no need to touch anyone or any equipment throughout the practice. We will refrain from using props or other dance equipment such as mats and stretching blocks until further notice.
All participants will be assigned a designated practice area within the studio following recommended guidelines as well as a hook to hang personal belongings during practice when they arrive to the studio. Practice spaces do not intermix with each other in any way.
All participants are contactless (outside of immediate family members), maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet at all times. Use of personal fans & facility fans are not permitted to be used at any time until further notice.
Daily health checks and temperature checks must be performed prior to arrival. (See attachment entitled “Self-Administered Health Screen & Procedures”).
Each participant arrives in their dance attire (may be covered with a light jacket/sweatshirt) and is permitted to have 1 dance bag that must be able to fit all personal items they bring with them to practice such as dance shoes, water bottle, hand sanitizer, etc.
Dancer’s will enter through the designated entrance 5 minutes prior to the start time of practice. Please do not enter the building earlier than 5 minutes. (FRONT ENTRANCE)
Parents dropping off participants are encouraged to wait in their cars until practice is over. The lobby/viewing area will remain closed to all spectators until further notice.
Dancers should wash their hands/sanitize hands upon entering the facility.
Dancers will be directed with signs and from instructor guidance as to what studio to enter into, where to hang personal belongings and what designated dance area they will be assigned to.
Each participant will wait at their designated dance space which follows social distance guidelines until class is ready to begin. Dancers are permitted to bring a pre-filled water bottle labeled with their name into the dance room. No food allowed. Participants will not be allowed to share anything.
Dancers & Staff are to maintain social distance throughout the duration of practice. Dancers have no need to touch anyone or any equipment throughout the practice. We will refrain from using props or other dance equipment such as mats and stretching blocks until further notice. *Dancers are welcome to bring their own stretching blocks from home if they would like.
All staff will wear a protective face mask. For the safety of staff and fellow dancers, participants are encouraged to wear a mask. (This is not required due to it being hard to breathe and work out with a mask on)
Dancers must wear shoes at all times. Socks and bare feet will not be permitted.
Dancers should use the bathroom at home prior to arrival at practice. One bathroom will remain open at the studio for emergency use if needed.
Anyone over the age of five, upon entering the building should wear a mask at all times when they’re in common areas unless you have an exception.
Since we are considered athletes we do not have to wear them while dancing but will put them back on to exit.
The mandate also allows our teachers to drop their masks to give instructions from an appropriate distance of 6-feet or greater, which greatly increases classroom comprehension and we will continue to do so. When teachers move close to children they will put their mask up.
Let’s give our best effort to be supportive of this change. The majority of us are able to mask up and it’s no big deal. Most of our teachers have been “masked up” and teaching the past couple of months already. Let’s be compassionate to the children who can’t wear the mask. A small number of our friends cannot mask up for a variety of reasons. The mass mandate supports this, therefore these dancers may remove their masks while properly distanced in common spaces.
Dancers will be expected to disinfect their personal practice space as well as the area where their belongings were kept in the lobby before leaving the building.
Participants will exit through designated exit doors and wait for their ride outside while maintaining social distance guidelines.
It is recommended that all dancers wash their hands and/or sanitize them at the conclusion of practice, change out of their dance clothes and shower when they get home. See CDC guidelines for best practices.
Hand cleaning stations will be available at the studio. Dancers are encouraged to wash their hands before and after each class. We recommend dancers also have their own personal hand sanitizer in their dance bag.
Staff will be provided a checklist of cleaning protocols to follow at the end of each shift. Staff will complete their cleaning and disinfecting protocols following regular programming or as a need presents itself. Staff will not clean the facility (with the exception of overseeing sanitation of floor spaces and other items to be wiped down by each participant) between programming during the day but will be present in the buildings for any further needs.
All dance spaces and equipment will be sanitized after each class with the help of all participants before their departure.
Common spaces such as bathrooms and the lobby will be cleaned and sanitized at the end of each day.
On top of the self wellness checks, we ask that before entering the building, no one in your household has been recently diagnosed with or has come in close contact (less than 6 feet apart for more than 15 minutes) with a positive case of COVID 19 within the past 2 weeks.
Should your dancer or anyone in your household test positive for COVID-19, we ask for prompt notification. Your dancers should discontinue participation until cleared by a doctor to resume or if your dancers meet the CDC guidelines for being around people after a COVID -19 diagnosis/direct exposure.
If a child has tested positive and we are notified, we will also notify their class via email. Our faculty is also following strict /precautions on when to call into work and get a sub for a short period of time. Therefore you may notice a different teacher from time to time.
During the school year season until further notice, our lobby will be open for toddler preschool and kindergarten class parents only. This means that any dancer above age 6, should be dropped off and picked up at the designated entrances/exits and parents should not enter the building.
For dancers under age 6, one parent per dancer can be in the lobby to keep our lobby safe and at it’s capacity, we ask that there are no siblings over an age who can be held or sit on a lap in the lobby. We are asking that parents in the lobby properly social distance their chairs.
This will vary from location to location. Check with your area director for protocol specific to your community.
Some areas of our building are out of use this school year, until further notice.
We ask that your dancer arrive fully ready for class and bring their dance bag with any change of shoes into the studio with them. We would like all dancers to bring their filled, labeled water bottle. The drinking fountain will be closed with the exception of refilling water bottles which will be allowed but discouraged.
This varies from location to location. Check with your local director.
This will vary from location to location.
Please respect our parking lot flow and drop off lane. If you are not entering the building with your dancer, we ask that you drop them off in the drop-off lane closest to their entrance. Please do not park/wait in the drop-off lane for any time or use this lane to pick up your dancer.
Parents who are dropping off their dancers, should find a parking spot and wait in the car, or you are more than welcome to leave and come back for pick up.
For pick-up please leave your car parked, and meet your dancer at the designated exit door. This ensures all dancers are walking in the parking lot to their car with their parent. As always, follow the one-way flow of our parking lot and drive slow and cautiously, as there are young children walking in and out of the lot all times of the day and night. Help us with safety.
Just For Kix plans to stay up to date with local and state restrictions and guidelines as we navigate through this time.
We will have daily decisions that need to be made to always ensure the safety of our students, families and staff. We will continue to update our families with changes via this website and through email.
Just For Kix wants to do our part to help our dancers stay safe. We are constantly reviewing each State Health department guidelines as well as networking with public school colleagues.
On top of staying up with how schools are maneuvering the school year, we are also following guidelines for local and youth sports in your area, as they are updated as well as their initial document that outlines practical prevention strategies.
