STAYING COVID-19 SAFE - Guidance for students.

classes@urbanstrides.com

We're ready for YOU!

Although national restrictions have lifted, all our class venues are continuing to exercise extreme caution in relation to COVID-19 and we must comply with their requirements as part of their lettings policy. 

IMPORTANT!

PLEASE DO NOT COME TO CLASS if you or your family have any symptoms of COVID-19 or you need to quarantine following recent travel!

Here’s what we all need to do to ensure we stay safe and help protect ourselves and others:

  • Please be aware of current guidance regarding your and your family’s health and travel (refer to www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19).  If you think you have symptoms, stay at home and take a test
  • Please be respectful of the fact that many people still want to maintain social distancing and avoid hugging, touching and high-fiving
  • Please DO NOT arrive for class too early.  We need to manage students in and out of the classroom and you will not be able to enter the venue until the previous class has vacated the room
  • Only students booked for the class will be permitted into the venue.  Parents will need to drop and go and wait in their cars at class finish time
  • FOR JUNIOR CLASSES - the Class Instructor or Class Assistant will meet students at the main door to the venue and similarly, after class, children will be taken to the main door.  Parents should wait at the main door – please do not enter the venue
  • We will continue to temperature check and ask students to sanitise their hands before going into the class
  • All students should come dressed ready for class and bring their own drink.  Where previously available, we will not have access to changing facilities or water fountains
  • Access to any other space at the class venue is not permitted.  Students need to go straight to and from class
  • While inside the venue, all students over the age of 11 years must wear a face mask to and from the classroom (unless medically exempt).  Masks are not required to be worn during the class, but students may wear them if that is their personal choice
  • Doors and windows will be open to allow ventilation and at the start and end of class, any doors that need to be opened will be done so by the Class Assistant ONLY to minimise lots of people touching door handles
  • Class Instructors will ensure choreography is designed to ensure there is no personal contact and to maintain social distancing.  Floor work will be avoided
  • The classroom must be vacated promptly at the class finish time to allow for students to leave safely and for the space to be sanitised appropriately before the next class

IMPORTANT!

Each class venue site is different in terms of the location and access.  The above is general guidance, but there may be additional requirements at your particular class venue.  Please pay close attention to any instructions you receive at your class.
