Due to the high demand for our classes. We ask you to please email us by giving us advanced notice if your child will not be attending classes for a long period. Otherwise, your child may lose their spot in the class.

We reserve the right to cancel any class with insufficient registration. If your class is canceled,
you will be offered the opportunity to take another dance class or refund your money,
Emergency Closure
New River Dance Studio will cancel classes in accordance with the State of Emergency or Stafford School District decisions regarding school closures due to weather, road conditions, and other emergencies.

Procedures
-
Parents are solely responsible for checking the health of all family members living in the household.
-
If there are any signs of fever, illness, or Covid-19 symptoms, the dancer may NOT attend
-
Dancers should use the restroom at home immediately before leaving or before Classe starts. This allows your child to get uninterrupted instruction for the entire class.
-
Parents are not allowed to stay in the room during class because it can be very distracting. Also, children tend to concentrate and have better attitudes when parents are not in the class. We will have observation weeks throughout the year where parents can come in and observe the class.
-
Dancers will arrive already in dance attire and will only switch shoes.
-
Dancers should bring their water bottles. The water fountain is available, and no food is to be brought into the studio.
-
Parents have the choice of whether their dancer is required to wear a mask while dancing, and parents are responsible for directing their dancer as to their decision.
-
Frequent sanitizing in between classes of barres and high-touch areas in studios.
-
Do not film or take photos in class. Always ask your dance teacher for permission before recording or photographing any part of the dance class.

Dancers must follow the teacher's instructions.
