Studio safety rules

I agree to adhere to safety rules at the studio and during activities associated with Compañía Carmen Romero, which may change as further public-health information becomes available. These include: 

• Wearing a face covering, such as a mask, that covers my mouth and nose 

• Asking those accompanying me to stay outside the building

• Coming prepared for class to the extent possible to limit time and space spent changing

• Leaving outdoor shoes in the hall to minimize bringing in microbes and dirt

• Bringing only purses or valuable items into the studio … other items can be left with your shoes. 

• Sanitizing my hands any time before entering the studio, including re-entering (sanitizer is provided in reception)

• Maintaining a two-metre distance between myself and others 

• Limiting the number of people in the reception area to two people

• Participating in classes from home (online) if I have any symptoms of illness, whether related to COVID-19 or not

Classes continue online if required for safety

Compañía Carmen Romero follows the requirements of the government and public health in opening the studio and putting on performances. If there is another government-mandated lockdown, classes will continue online and performances may be cancelled or moved to a virtual format.

 

Because classes will continue online, there will be no refund for classes in the event the studio is closed due to factors related to COVID-19.
