ADVICE FOR DANCE TEACHERS AND THEIR PUPILS
Dance classes may now recommence. Large classes, including those with more than 10 participants, can go ahead as long as the venue is big enough to allow students to space out safely.
All people in attendance must be kept at least one metre from each other, and a contact tracing register of all attendees, teacher, student, caregivers etc. kept.
Safety and hygiene requirements must be met. These include:
- Regularly disinfecting surfaces and equipment
- Having access to areas for hand washing and providing hand sanitiser
- Ensuring anyone who is sick does not attend.
Suggestions are:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and dry thoroughly
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid sharing anything that has come in contact with saliva, whether in your living or social environments
- Stay home when you are sick and seek medical attention
- Advise parents/caregivers to not come to class if they are unwell. Ensure that parents/care givers that come to class sit at least 1 metre apart.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the rubbish
- Clean Barres and Swords after each use.
- Have hand sanitiser available
- Eliminate close interpersonal contact – Teacher - Pupil and Pupil – Pupil. Maintain a 1 metre safe distance at all times.
- Get adequate sleep and eat well-balanced meals to ensure a healthy immune system
Health and Wellbeing of yourself and your pupils must come first!
