Return to Studio 2021
Hybrid In-Person Classes will begin Monday, April 5th.
As restrictions have begun to relax in Alameda County and have moved into the Red Tier and the coming Orange Tier, Dance/10 can now begin to offer instruction in-person. We are approaching this transition cautiously and phasing classes back into the studio. We appreciate your patience as we begin this process. We hope that this document will answer any questions that you may have.
The class table will explain which classes are transitioning to in-person hybrid, remaining remote for now, or remaining virtual for the rest of the season.
I am not comfortable returning to in-person classes. What are my options?
We are planning to offer hybrid classes. Zoom will still be a part of our instruction for the time being. Students who need to remain online can do so. The instructor will teach both online and in-person simultaneously.
Are all classes returning to the studio for in-person hybrid instruction?
No. Some classes were originally slated to remain online throughout the 2020-21 dance year. Those classes will remain virtual. We will be bringing back other classes in phases.
How are you deciding which classes to bring back?
There are a number of factors to consider: schedule, teacher comfort, space capacities, transition times, etc. When we re-open we will begin with using just 1 of our studios.
Are class times changing?
The start times of classes will remain the same. To allow for class transitions and sanitizing, classes will conclude as follows:
- 1-hour classes will conclude after 45-minutes
- 90-minute classes will conclude after 75-minutes
Where can I learn more about all the studio protocols?
Our protocols have had minor updates from what was established before the 2020-21 dance year began and are available on our website.
Masks required at all times including during classes.
For the health and safety of all students and faculty, DO NOT attend in-person classes if you are not feeling well for any reason.
What is Alpha Split?
Due to some class sizes exceeding our room limits, for the time being, we will be splitting the classes based on the last name alpha (A-L, M-Z) for in-person and virtual weeks. The class table will indicate which classes are affected.
How will make-ups for missed classes work?
For the time being, all makeups will need to be completed online through zoom. If you miss your in-person week for Alpha Split classes you cannot come the following week in-person.
Out of respect for our neighbors and our students, NO LOITERING in the doorways or outside of the studio, and please no double parking.
