​

We are very excited to be returning to face to face teaching in the studio on the 13th September 2021. We have missed you all so very much!

​
 

We are taking various measures to ensure that we adhere to hygiene and social distancing requirements - the health of both students and staff being of paramount importance.
 

Please read the information below thoroughly and ensure that both you and your child understand the hygiene and social distancing requirements that we all must adhere to in order for us to remain open.
 

Upon returning to our studio in accordance with Federal National Roadmap to Recovery, our dance classes will begin with good hygiene, social distancing and the 4 square metre rule in place. This means that there must be adequate space for 4 square metres per person not including teachers. The New South Wales government have stated a maximum of 20 participants per class with up to 80 or 100 per venue respectively.
 

We must ensure that all of our students are aware of the following through instruction and relevant signage:
 

• Regular hand washing and use of hand sanitiser will be encouraged. Hand sanitiser is to be used pre and post class for all participants including teachers.
   

• Ensure coughs and sneezes are covered by a tissue or a flexed elbow; tissues should be disposed of in a closed bin and hands sanitised following sneezing/coughing.
   

• Do not share water bottles and all unclaimed water bottles will be disposed of.
   

• To speak up if a student or faculty member is feeling unwell.

​

HOME ASSESSMENT

An 'at home assessment' is required to be done by each student, confirming their suitability to return to class. 

 

Considerations - 
 

• Are you suffering from a temperature or have been in the direct company of someone that is? (Over 38 degrees)
   

• Do you have unusual fatigue, a dry cough, runny nose, sore throat or difficulty breathing? 
   

• Have you been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case in the last 2 weeks?
   

• If so, please seek medical advice immediately and alert us, so that self-isolation can be acknowledged.
   

It is only with a sound ability to 'pass' this self-assessment that we ask that you join us at the Le Beat studio.
