General Guidelines - All Colours
Your children are able to attend dance classes at WDA under all colours of the ‘Traffic Light’ Covid-19 Protection Framework. Each colour is slightly different, so read below to learn more about our studio guidelines.
Our systems are based on Exercise Association of NZ guidelines for indoor exercise providers including gyms, studios (personal training, yoga, dance).
We will update these policies in line with Government announcements.
- We stay home if sick (staff/teachers as well as dancers).
- We zoom all classes so students can participate from home if necessary. We have new teacher headset microphones and sound mixers for a great zoom experience.
- We have a COVID-19 Worksafe Safety Plan in place to ensure the safety of everyone in our studio.
- Our studio follows the Ministry of Education tool for the ventilation of spaces.
- In addition to encouraging basic hygiene measures (hand hygiene and coughing/sneezing etiquette), our studio follows a cleaning checklist for the proper cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and props.
- We follow all updates for our industry via Exercise Association of NZ, and will keep you updated with any changes.
