STUDIO COVID-19 PROTOCOL FOR ALL STUDENTS, STAFF & TEACHERS

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Update for Spring 2023

MASKS ARE NOW OPTIONAL ON BALLET HAWAII PREMISES, BUT BALLET HAWAII RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ASK ANYONE TO MASK IF IT BECOMES TOO CROWDED IN THE STUDIOS OR WAITING AREAS.

PLEASE NOTE:

Do NOT register or try to take class if you have any sick symptoms, have been in close contact with someone with Covid-19 or if you have Covid-19.  

We require you to sign at the end of this document confirming that you have read and understand Ballet Hawaii’s policies. We are working to provide you the safest space possible, but cannot guarantee a Coronavirus-free environment. You are choosing to participate at your own risk and responsibility.

If you have a fever or symptoms, you will be required to leave the facility.

These are BH’s own policies regarding Covid-19.
