COVID Precautions at ASB

We are taking these precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect our dancers and families while they take classes at ASB.

Health Policy:

Face masks are optional, although encouraged for unvaccinated individuals, and may be required at times dependent on CDC guidelines. We will continue hand sanitizing before and after class, and frequent cleaning of high touch surfaces to keep our dance families safe. Since re-opening in July 2020, there have been no transmissions of COVID-19 at the dance studio.  

Keeping social distance in our small lobby and dressing room is challenging, which is why we will be asking parents to pick up and drop off our older students outside of our building whenever possible and as you feel comfortable. Feel free to come in if you need to speak with us! Parents of younger students are welcome to come into the studio to drop-off and pick-up their students.


If a Student feels ill, please keep the student home. 


Also, please follow the Updated CDC guidelines as of Feb. 2022. These are:

If You Test Positive for COVID-19 -> Isolate

Everyone, regardless of vaccination status:

·  Stay home for 5 days.

·  If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you can leave your house.

·  Continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days.

If you have a fever, continue to stay home until your fever resolves.

Sanitation Procedures:

For air quality, we have installed Medify medical grade HEPA air filtration units for each studio and the lobby. These are rated to completely change the air every 30 minutes and the filter will remove particles to .1 micron. We have also installed a no-touch hand sanitizer dispenser in the lobby, between the two studio doors, to be used by each student before and after their class, and a no-touch dispenser for the bathroom soap. All contact surfaces will be sanitized frequently with approved disinfectants.


Zoom class can be arranged if a student is at risk or on quarantine.

For questions, please contact us

  • Face masks are optional, although encouraged for unvaccinated individuals, and may be required at times dependent on CDC guidelines. 
  • For older students: drop off and pick up at front door as comfortable.  
  • For young students: an adult may bring them upstairs and pick them up after class.  Our lobby is small; as you feel comfortable, you may go out and do your errands, then return for pick up about 5 minutes before your child's class ends. 
  • If possible, arrive at the studio already in dance clothes (with coat and street shoes on top, etc). If coming directly after school, the dressing room is open.
  • The dressing room is open to change shoes and store your clothing. Please don’t linger in the dressing room as it is so small. After changing come out to the lobby and line up for your class.  
  • Use hand sanitizer or wash hands with soap right before entering dance studio and after your class.   
  • Ballet 1 and Jazz & Tap 1 and above - please bring water bottle and any shoe changes into classroom with you.  Younger students, please leave tightly sealed water bottles in the dressing room and bring dance shoes to the classroom in a small personal bag.
  • For drop off & pick-up; please discuss plans with your older student on how to drop them off & pick them up at the bottom of the stairs. 
  • Students should not wait on sidewalk. Please wait inside door and peek out to look for parent's car.   
  • Please be timely in drop off and pick up to minimize cross-over crowding of lobby & dressing room. Drop off about 5-10 min. before class start time (no later than 5 min. so you are not late!), and pick up promptly at end time or within 5 minutes.   
  • Bathroom is open for use: please wash hands thoroughly
