We have been working very hard for the last few weeks making a schedule and making guidelines so our dancers can get back into the studio this fall. Rest assured we have given our teachers and our dancers safety a priority!
 
Please see below the Guidelines we have set-up for your dancer. 

If you have any questions at all, please contact Bonnie Curtis at (805) 732-3229 or email at Bonniecurtis1@yahoo.com.

• All outside doors will be open at all times to allow fresh airflow into rooms. Fans will be located at each door.
• Per California guidelines, teachers & students must wear mask. All dancers, please bring a mask. Dancers are recommended to wear bandana type mask for more airflow. Teacher will monitor for paleness, dizziness in student during intense workouts. We have not found that masks restrict airflow in our dancers.
