(TEXT ME IF NEED IT RESENT PLEASE)

SEPTEMBER 2020

ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE LOVELY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE PUPILS BACK IN THE STUDIO FROM SEPTEMBER, IT WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT, SO PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POINTS CAREFULLY SO YOU ARE AWARE OF THE CHANGES WHICH I NEED TO MAKE TO BE IN LINE WITH GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES FOR DANCE STUDIOS REOPENING.

HOPEFULLY WHEN RESTRICTIONS EASE, SOME OF THESE CHANGES WILL ONLY BE TEMPORARY.

OBVIOUSLY, IF ANY PUPILS SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF COVID 19, THEY SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM CLASS.

IF ANY PUPIL, OR SOMEONE THEY HAVE BEEN IN FREQUENT CONTACT WITH, TESTS POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE & TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ISOLATION PRECAUTIONS.

ANY ADULT PUPILS WHO TRAVEL ABROAD ARE ASKED TO STAY AWAY FROM CLASSES AT THE STUDIO UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN BACK IN THIS COUNTRY FOR 2 WEEKS & REMAINED SYMPTOM FREE

NO PARENTS OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED INTO THE STUDIO - PUPILS WILL BE MET BY ME AT THE BOTTOM DOOR TO GO UP TO THE STUDIO - PLEASE REMIND OLDER PUPILS WHO WAIT OUTSIDE UNACCOMPANIED TO STAY SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM EACH OTHER WHILST WAITING

DOORS WILL BE WEDGED OPEN SO THAT PUPILS DO NOT NEED TO TOUCH DOOR HANDLES, AND HAND SANITISER IS PROVIDED ON ENTRY & EXIT OF THE STUDIO ITSELF

STUDIO WINDOWS WILL BE OPEN WHENEVER POSSIBLE TO INCREASE FLOW OF FRESH AIR

A ONE WAY SYSTEM WILL BE IN OPERATION, SO PUPILS WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO EXIT VIA THE DOOR NEXT TO RICHMOND CUISINE

I WILL BE WEARING A MASK OR VISOR TO ADMIT PUPILS & WILL INITIALLY BE RECORDING TEMPERATURES AS PUPILS ENTER. PUPILS DO NOT NEED TO WEAR MASKS, BUT CAN IF THEY WANT TO. WHILST TEACHING, I WILL ONLY WEAR A MASK IF I NEED TO GET CLOSE TO PUPILS

PUPILS MUST COME TO CLASS IN DANCE WEAR, AS THE CHANGING ROOM WILL NOT BE IN USE, & THEY SHOULD ONLY BRING A DRINK & A BAG WITH DANCE SHOES IN. PUPILS SHOULD NOT CURRENTLY DANCE BAREFOOT

CLASSES NEED TO BE KEPT SMALL TO MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING, SO SOME CLASS TIMES WILL BE CHANGING, ESPECIALLY SATURDAY MORNINGS WHERE I WILL PROBABLY NEED TO ADD IN EXTRA PRIMARY CLASSES FOR BALLET & TAP. IF A CLASS IS OVER SUBSCRIBED, PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO PUPILS WHO HAVE KEPT GOING WITH ONLINE CLASSES, AND THEN AFTER THAT PUPILS WHO REPLY FIRST WILL GO ON TO THE LIST IN ORDER

YOUNGER PRIMARY PUPILS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO MODERN FOR A WHILE, AS I WILL ONLY HAVE ONE CLASS FOR THIS & I NEED TO RESTRICT NUMBER OF TIMES PUPILS ARE ENTERING & LEAVING

PUPILS WHO WERE DUE TO TAKE EXAMS IN THE SUMMER TERM WILL AUTOMATICALLY MOVE UP INTO THE NEXT CLASS FOR NOW, UNLESS THEY FEEL THEY WOULD RATHER NOT - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THEY WOULD RATHER NOT MOVE UP. FOR A COUPLE OF CLASSES, I MAY MOVE PUPILS UP EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT DUE TO DO EXAMS UNTIL THIS TERM, JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES MORE SENSE IN TERMS OF THE SIZES OF THE GROUPS. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO BOOK EXAMINATION SESSIONS AGAIN, I AM LEAVING THIS FOR A WHILE SO THAT WE CAN GET INTO DOING CLASSES FIRST, MOSTLY BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO BE EXAM READY WHEN WE'VE BEEN OUT OF THE STUDIO FOR 5 MONTHS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY RESTRICTIONS ABOUT THE ACTUAL EXAMINATION DAY AT THE MOMENT

PAYMENT CAN ONLY BE MADE IN 6 WEEK HALF TERM BLOCKS NOW (NOT WEEKLY), EITHER BY BANK TRANSFER, OR CHEQUE/CASH IN AN ENVELOPE SENT IN WITH THE PUPIL PLEASE

CONTENT OF CLASSES WILL BE LIMITED TO SOME DEGREE, AS WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO TOO MUCH TRAVELLING AROUND THE STUDIO RIGHT NOW, AS WE ALL NEED TO KEEP DISTANCED FROM EACH OTHER

45 MINUTE CLASSES WILL NOW RUN FOR 40 MINUTES TO ALLOW TIME FOR ENTERING & LEAVING VIA THE ONE WAY SYSTEM. PRIMARY BALLET WILL NOW BE CHANGED TO A 30 MINUTE CLASS

PLEASE BE PUNCTUAL WHEN DROPPING OFF/COLLECTING CHILDREN - NOT TOO EARLY THOUGH AS THIS WON'T WORK EITHER. THERE WILL BE NO-ONE DOWNSTAIRS TO ADMIT LATE ARRIVALS, AND IF A PUPIL IS NOT PICKED UP BY THE TIME THE NEXT LESSON IS DUE TO START, I WILL BE UNABLE TO BRING THEM DOWN UNTIL THE END OF THE FOLLOWING LESSON

WHEN WAITING TO DROP OFF/COLLECT PUPILS, PLEASE MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING FROM OTHER PARENTS & MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

HIGH CONTACT POINTS (BARRES, DOOR HANDLES, ETC.) WILL BE CLEANED REGULARLY THROUGHOUT SESSIONS

THERE WILL BE NO SINGING CLASSES AT PRESENT, AS THIS IS ONE AREA WHICH IS STILL CONSIDERED HIGH RISK FOR VIRUS TRANSFER

PBT (PROGRESSING BALLET TECHNIQUE) CLASSES WILL PROBABLY BE SORTED INTO 2 GROUPS ON A WEDNESDAY, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PUPILS FROM THE SUMMER CLASSES WISH TO CONTINUE WITH THESE LESSONS

I APPRECIATE THERE ARE MANY CHANGES HERE, & NOT ALL ARE EASY TO ADAPT TO, BUT I DO CURRENTLY NEED TO TAKE THESE MEASURES TO BE ABLE TO REOPEN THE STUDIO.

IN PRINCIPLE IT DOES WORK, AS I HAVE BEEN TEACHING SOME SMALL GROUPS DURING THE HOLIDAYS WITH THIS IN PLACE, BUT THERE WILL DOUBTLESS NEED TO BE SOME TWEAKING ONCE MORE PUPILS ARE INVOLVED, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.

CLASS GROUPINGS ARE LISTED ON THE ONLINE CLASSES PAGE OF THE WEBSITE.

ADAPTED TIMETABLE

I HAVE ALLOWED AT LEAST 5 MINUTES CHANGEOVER TIME BETWEEN CLASSES, MORE WHEN I KNOW IT WILL DEFINITELY TAKE LONGER

I AM HOPING THAT WITH THE BOTTOM ENTRANCE DOOR HOOKED OPEN, OLDER PUPILS WILL BE ABLE TO WAIT ON THE STAIRS SOCIALLY DISTANCED, RATHER THAN OUTSIDE, BUT PLEASE REMIND THEM TO STAY DISTANCED & TO USE HAND SANITISER
